Interesting vid. Should they be strong enough to bend, or is a rigid frame better? Frame Flex Vid

Has anyone here or anywhere had trouble with their tailgate because Ford uses a C channel chassis? I've never heard anyone complain of this other than some goons on a Youtube video deliberately trying to damage a truck. I'm more concerned about the Ram's crappy little dried up ball joints and iffy AAM rear axle than I am about a tried and proven C channel chassis that can be flexed if loaded to the max and driven up on properly placed offset ramps as if that's normal every day occurrences.
Why yes.
Driving a heavy loaded 3/4 Ford through some blow sand (following a Dodge) I got stuck and the frame tweaked sideways and lengthways. I could not open the door and had to climb out the window - the tail gate was jammed shut so hard that it would not open.
The Dodge backed up and pulled me out.
Hopefully you followed him on down to the Dodge shop and replaced it with a Dodge.:C
