Ford Raptor Frames Bending

traveling to quickly? LOL

Ford made the public response as a result of an official investigation into a highly publicized outing in which 14 Raptor owners went on an off-road trip and, upon completing the journey, 10 of the owners discovered that their vehicles had been bent on the frame where the bed connects to the cab. The company has thus far received word of only four vehicles being damaged, none of which were on that particular journey, but the public statement was necessary due to the overall intrigue that the story has generated among other Raptor owners. Though there were likely more trucks that were damaged, even in that initial run, the company is basing its response only on the four instances that have been reported officially.

I bet they get a shit-ton of complaints now.

EDITED after finding a more in depth discussion on the subject.

AB: Do you have any idea how fast they were traveling?

Hameedi: This is just our guess, we don't know for sure, but judging by the video, they look like they were going 60 to 80 miles per hour. We've heard sound bites from other people on that run that they were going 110-125 mph in certain parts. From the factory, the truck is speed-limited to 100 miles per hour, so all of these guys would need to be removing the speed limiters on their trucks [in order to achieve those kind of speeds].

When you read through that it seems ford has provided a solid response to this issue. I think it is pretty funny that the owners manual provides instruction for off-road driving, obviously these guys failed to read that.

And yet the people who are refusing to do the research and read the facts are trashing the design and ford all together.

What was it your said prior to the edit?
