    The flex is totally normal. If you put an extra 2 ton in the ford's bed , it will bent more but not break. Do the same with your Chevy and the frame is going to fail because it can't handle the flex.
    Your chevy is like a drill bit, flex it and it will crack somewhere.

    I have a 79 Ford, and while I don't have any issues with sudden bed denting, I will say that there is enough flex to the frame that you can see the bed/cab offset just from parking on uneven terrain, like next to a tree. Does it bother me? No. Would it be better if it didn't flex? No. The frame is part of the suspension, in my opinion. It's just a great big Model T.

I bought a brand new of the lot 2015 Ford F-150 and out of the 7 months I had it, it sent a total of 3 months in the shop being repaired broke down on me constantly and everything you can imagine went wrong. Dealership offered me another one when I told them I wanted to return it to purchase another vehicle and I kindly said no and bought a Chevy Silverado I’ve now had it for 5 years going on 6 and it has not been to the shop once and it runs just as smooth as the day I bought it. That is my unbiased experience with the 2 vehicles.

    OK, critical thinking questions: Is the level of stiffness shown here necessary or even good for the longevity of the truck as it is put through the paces of its working life? Alternatively, does a pickup truck's frame need to exhibit some measure of flex / resiliency in order to prevent any type of snapping/shearing or long term metal fatigue?
    I really don't know the answer here, so I'm genuinely asking.

      Most people just don't like it because it's a completely new design, but to be honest, even if you don't like the truck or don't like Tesla it should be a good thing that it has so many features. Silverados and f150s have been the same thing for years, but now Tesla is putting pressure on Ford to make more affordable trucks with more features. Cause with a 40k price tag and all the features the cybertruck has, it's a serious competition over an f150.

    Notice that the 1-ton trucks were loaded and they didn't drive the 3500HD up all the way on the ramp so that the rear duals would hang off the ground. If they did the Chevy would suffer frame damage because it doesn't flex enough. A tailgate costs less to fix than replacing a frame.

      Dylan Gilbertson The empty 3/4 ton trucks (both Ford & Chevy) were driven further up the ramp than the loaded 1-ton trucks (both Ford & Chevy). If flex is bad, why to class 8 trucks have c-channel frames? F-250 and up trucks are more sought after by up-fitters because their frames are stronger and easier to build off of. How many Chevy or Dodge ambulances have you seen in your life? Any reputable tow truck builder will not even touch a Dodger or modern Chevrolet truck. What do most of the power companies use? Construction companies? Manufacturing? etc. Don't lie to yourself. The Ford is selected more because it is built like an industrial grade truck. Industrial grade trucks do not have boxed frames. I love the boxed frame that my F-150 has. Its really firm and rides like a tank, but it will not withstand the compressive load that a big c-channel can. I wish they would load these frames up to the point of failure. If they did, everyone would see that the Ford would handle more weight before it fails than the Chevy or Dodge. If the loaded 1-ton Chevy would have been driven on the ramp like the 3/4 ton it would have been damaged. At the very least the welds would have failed at the cross-members.

      supermotox55 Dodge has the worst frames. I know a man who built Chevy and Dodge frames for 30 years; he drives a Ford. Chrysler has always chosen the cheapest way to get the job done. Back in the late 80s Cummins told Chrysler that they wouldn't let them use their engines until they improved their frames because they wouldn't hold up, and they didn't want the reputation of their engine ruined. They were DESCENT until the late 90s, but then they started cutting corners again. For example, if you take a 2002 Dodge to a tow-truck builder to get up-fitted they will tell you to get lost. The whole truck would need to be tore down so that the entire frame could be beefed up. Chevy had a pretty good frame in their 3500HDs around 96'-00'. That is why you see a considerable amount of tow trucks in these years that are Chevy/GMCs.

    The thing about Bed Twist is that the less you have, it is NOT a better thing. A stiffer chassis has to endure more force to not bend as much, and can lead to stressing of the metal frame and possibly breakage.
    The Chevy has too stiff of a frame. Doing this too much will stress out the chassis after a while, and it will either become permanently warped or will break.
    The Ford frame is OK. Not perfect, but it is enough give to put less stress on the frame of the vehicle. You can't open the tailgate in this position, but when are you ever going to need to?

      WRONG, They are all using steel which is flexible but the difference is fully boxed vs c channel. In addition, RAM and GM has more cross members to provide additional durability. Ford is using outdated frames from 1970s.

    • @legomn54321
      @legomn54321 Před 10 lety +7

      Let me tell you why that's bullshit.
      More cross members means more welds. More welds provide more places there the chassis can break from flexing. Less cross-members provide a bit of extra flex in the chassis, but this means the chassis has less possible breaking points and is thus more durable. Ford sticks with the saying, "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Their chassis, 1970s or not, has proven that it does its job better than its competitors. Let's not mention how many times GM has had to re-engineer the chassis they use. Some GM vehicles are famous for the weakness of their frames, particularly Chevrolet and GMC.

    i got no problem with the chassis flexibility. i am a horse transporter, and i use that flexibility when i am pulling my 47 feet, 23.000 GVWR with 8 warm bloods of 1.300 pounds each one, specially when i am at the farms picking them up off road. in the past i drove a Sierra 3500 and i had no problem, it wasn't a bad truck, some little electric issues (nothing major), and the interior is not the nicest, but i change for a F450 king ranch cause i need a stronger rear axle, and it is amazing, a little slower, but more powerful on hills, it is almost 280.000 miles, and i had nothimg bad with it, just a problem with thw DEF sensor, and a leaking in the oil pan when it has around 180.000.

    A buddy of mine bought a new F150 back in 1999. It had that funny bump out on the back of the cab that actually hangs over the front of the box. Went on a trail one weekend and managed to get the cab to kiss the box when the frame flexed, Frame flex doesn't bother me but holy crap, Ford should have seen that one coming. All in all though, I feel Ford makes a good product.

      Also, suspension on both trucks has its limits. Once the chevy's suspension gets bottomed out- ting! The frame goes bye-bye. The Ford won't have that problem because excess energy is channeled into the bed.

      main reasion rigs use C-channel's is because it saves weight, and the less the vehicle weigh the more you can haul, and the same load can be carried with less fuel consumption if it's lighter. i dont know about you but cant remember last time i saw a rig having to do some offroading to this extent.

  • @awc6b
    @awc6b Před 9 lety +8

    I love how people fight over brands. I LOVE Ford, Dodge, and Chevrolet (GM). Out of them they all have weaknesses and strengths. I like Chevrolet for towing, its low to the ground, comfortable, and unlike Dodge and Ford the Allison cannot be beaten, but I wouldn't take my Duramax offroad without a lift kit. I like my Dodge because you can't get the sound of a Cummins from anything else on the market, the nostalgic semi front end, and my 24v Cummins will outlast my Duramax and my 7.3 Stroke hands down. And my 7.3 stroke and 5.9 Cummins both are high off the ground, ride like haywagons, and have solid front axles so I play offroad with those two and haul four wheelers. Plus, my 36' Forest River 5th wheel is heavy and the Duramax with sling that rig all over the road, but my Cummins and Stroke just don't do that. They pull it don't get me wrong, but my Duramax will mop the floor with both my Cummins and powerstroke pulling that trailer while they remain unloaded. Love them all, the big 3, but you can't get the entire package in one truck. Never happen.

    • @Terminxman
