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..

My reply wasn't necessarily to you, but to the thread in general. The general argument that some people are making is that the Ford frame isn't suitable for its designed task, simply because this stupid test showed flexing.

I'm aware that the Tundra pulled the shuttle, I don't really care one bit. Just because a company uses stupid marketing doesn't affect if the product is good or bad. Like I stated, I did my own research and determined that the Tundra was the best product for ME and MY NEEDS.

Yes, marketing makes all kinds of claims. As long as they are technically correct or they have a footnote after the claim, they can do anything they want. The Ecoboost is "BEST IN CLASS" of this that or the other thing... well, when you are the only twin turbo 6 cylinder gas engine, you are in a class by yourself. You are the BEST and WORST in the class at the same time... so anything they say is true.

Agree with you , especially about the Toyota, (really hard to believe they promoted doing everything wrong) :)
