According to the picture in this ad, Ford wants their new truck to appeal to hippy chicks and long haired freaky dudes.

I bought a Carter AVS for Baby Blue from a Ford guy at the fall Carlisle a few years back. Correct date code NOS piece, paid $200.

Much simpler than that.. I like em all.....
Toyota did have a frame recall in the mid 2000's due to rust and failure.
A dealership on Rt 51 in Pittsburgh Pa has hundreds of frames delivered stacked up out front.
I think they were distributing to the surrounding dealers.

I beg to differ. I was 106,000 LBS and I pulled it up U.S. 160 from Colorado to New Mexico, otherwise know as Wolf Creek Pass.
Wolf Creek Pass!!
Which is up on the great divide, truckin on down the other side. Love that song! At least you weren’t hauling chickens.

I'd almost bet 'the driver of the loader'
dumped a bucket from 8' that load into that trailer tongue area too
not eased it in, it's shock loading it,
that trailer is probably overloaded for it's axles too
(2200#'s per yard of dirt, a big bucket load 3 yards of dirt is 6600#'s appr.)
that's probably 8-10+ yards min. in that trailer
possibly have that is the bed floor lifting too
may have just a bumper & ball
adds leverage on the rear of the bed
& not a real trailer receiver hitch
& not spreading the load over the rear of the frame properly
I'm sure it was negligence or abuse & not the Ram's fault
Possibly or probably, some rust especially if they live in the north
& they use salt or a previously weakened frame,
from overloading &/or lifting (jacking) it improperly many times before
no doubt too
not knowing the back story hard to speculate, actually exactly why
it ain't 1977 & that Ram/it Ain't a good ol' Dodge Power Wagon either

I was drinking a beer and eating shrimp a while back at a "homecourt" restaurant/bar a while back... While I was enjoying life in an air conditioned environment, on TV was some sort of long distance bike race... Made me so tired just watching it, I had to take a nap when I got home....Yep up and over!

I don’t know. This kind of looks photo shopped to me. The color is slightly off and the lower body line follows the cab. If the frame was buckled that bad and the body line from the front to the back of the bed varied that much then the bed side would be buckled.
That was what I thought too..they had to hit it hard.
I've done plenty of stupid stuff as far as overloading..but nothing's ever folded up on me like that!

Very expensive pile of dirt.
