How does the good news apply to us? I was hoping that the Feds would loosen the manufacturing regulations because of all the electronic gadgets in these cars that just about pass for aircraft, if not spacecraft. It's my understanding that Ford has the most rigid frame under the body in the pick-up market. Is that still true?

They probably had the most rigid frame with the fully boxed frame on the F150. They're switching over to open C-Channel according to reports (probably to save weight) so time will tell how they compare to the others in terms of rigidity.

Very true, because nobody makes an unreliable vehicle anymore. It's just too competitive in today's market to get away with building junk.

It's always good to get good news.

To bad the RV manufactures can't have a rating like that.

That is good news indeed!
