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

I think what NC is trying to say is that the video shows the frame is weaker period. Would you have rather had the video of them loading the trucks with weight sitting on flat ground until one of them folded? You would have just said that you won't put that much weight in your truck.
Yes, that is EXACTLY what I would like to see. Any yes, you are correct, I would never load my truck to the point of failure. The amount of weight it would take is well above what the vehicle is rated for. I would NEVER advocate loading your vehicle past the point it is rated to carry, certainly not thousands of pounds beyond that rating.
Its obvious that the Ram is a great truck. Look at my posts in the past, if I was to buy a new truck right now it would be the Ram 2500 or 3500 with the 6.4 Hemi. I really like what I see of the Ram, more so than the Ford. I can make that decision based upon REALITY though, not some ridiculous test that shows something that I would never encounter in the real world.
I prefer to make my decisions based upon fact, not some marketing scheme. I believe that the Ram has a much stronger frame. I believe that the Ram frame is much less susceptible to twisting. I don't believe that the Ford frame is unsafe or unable to support the weights that Ford has rated it to carry.
Don't recollect ever saying the Ford frame was unsafe:S ALL truck manufacturers have marketing schemes...believe it was a Toyota that pulled the Shuttle across a bridge...All of the Big Three have "marketing schemes"...tell me one who doesn't that we've discussed on this thread....At some point, we have to make up our own minds and kick out the tripe that we see from all 3 of them...but I gave facts on the the frame, front and rear suspension of the Ram as well as GVWR, GCWR and RAWR...fact's, not something made up...and I guess some of these videos by Ford, By GM/Chevy and by Ram are fictitious, but figure some have to be based on some kind of facts or they'd be slammed big time by Consumers Advocates out there somewhere..
