F150 vs. stupidity

Saw an F350 repo truck that was bent in the same manner but not as bad.
People have no clue what leverage can do.

Nice looking sheet metal on most of the truck except for that one small wrinkle.

Bet he tells the bride it will buff right out

The rear tires don't show very much load.
The bed would just about be rubbing the rear tires with rear compressed suspension.
The front tires would be cambered out at top and the gap between front tires and truck body would be larger as all that weight on back would unload front axle.

the triangle formed by camper to roof of truck don't match the triangle formed between bed and cab or the triangle formed by the cab of truck and street, or the one between camper and roof.

the camper is not even touching on the tailgate.

and I don't think that camper has enough weight to break the frame.

Honestly, none of the points made appear a correct interpretation of that pic, and I don't see anything to suggest it's photo shopped.
Angle of the dangle? Did you measure the angles in blubeam or something? They're pretty close and that model of truck, the bed wraps around the back of the cab a bit, so there's no "gap" from a side view anyway.
Front axle load? Either the truck has a 3" leveling kit if the pic is fake or the front end is real light. That old clapped out F 150 would be considerably lower in front with no cantilevered load.
Tires and rear sagging? Yes, P tires would be almost flat if at recommended pressures. Any tire aired up to around 80psi won't look squishy just sitting there like that. And yes, it would be on the bump stops, but you're assuming theres no extra suspension in the rear.
Sitting on tailgate? Ever seen a camper sitting on a bit of a platform in the truck bed?

Pic looks real.

I saw it several different days, always driving. I was amazed that it never bothered a single cop.

we don't have cops in central Florida for that.
we have sheriff who is too busy chancing killers and drug dealers.
and we have state police who only do speeding tickets, accidents and highway deaths.
as I drive around I am amazed all the cars and truck missing 1, 2 or even all the rear brake lights. I see cars at intersections with steel sticking out of tires (holds them on the roads). stuff with windshields broke so bad they are pressed in several inches. and stuff running so bad you just about barf on the fumes. and don't let me get started in the Id10T's who have pickups with tires sticking out 12" past the wheel wells blowing water up so bad in the rain you can't see, but how can you see through the black "rolling coal" smoke they are putting out, or the illegal HID headlights that blind everyone. But the worse is Mister Magoo. and there is thousands of them down here.

He’ll need a bunch of legos to level that camper.

Wow. Just. Wow!!

Unfortunately there is no law against stupidity. We have to wait for stupid to act. Equally unfortunately, others are often afflicted by those stupid acts.

Well obviously he doesn't know anything about strapping down your load. Anybody with not so common sense can see that the yellow strap needs to go through that front window on the camper and then through the front windows of the truck ......
