1/2 ton frame flex video

Check out the Road Test -> Silver Creek shootout video :eek: I wonder how my old F250 would have done, when I wheeled it all of the articulation was in the frame :laughing:

So, it took how long for Ford to figure out that their frames were total crap? :laughing:

I also like how they zoomed way in on the dodge to show frame flex... that you pretty could only see if you looked at the seam between the bed and the body.

But... on their truck, they didn't zoom in to the same level.

Ford had a little less, but not much less.

those are the dumbest videos I have ever seen

I like how the guy says that ford has the lightest yet beefiest lower control arms yet when he goes to pick up the upright (or steering knuckle for the rest of us normal people) he can barely do it because it is so heavy. Looks like they are just doing some product bashing. They also so the radiator shrouds being poorly designed because the ford shroud manages air better once it goes past the radiator. WTF, it has to because the fuckin motor is another foot back into the firewall. Dumbasses.

Ive seen F-250s at Tellico flex so much the tailgate got wrinkled.

I want to see a rock buggy go thru that course :D I wouldn't read too much into the videos, it is mostly marketing hype. A lot of 04-06 F150 guys are putting in E-fans in place of the stock fan/shroud. This mod gives you tons of room if you have to work on the motor, frees up HP at speed and makes the AC work much better in stop and go traffic.

That's an older F250, I believe 2005 and above the F250's have a frame structure similar to the F150

that frame flex has to be good for another 100pts. on the RTI ramp. Maybe I will cut out the boxing on my yota frame:laughing:
