Ram dually vs Ford dually Frame Flex Comparison

Yet because the Tundra frame isn't as rigid, some (I think even you Ben, though not 100% sure) remark that it is pure junk.

I'd like to see the test done again with a 4,000+ lb truck camper in the bed.

Important to some...

I've had my Suburban in situations (often) where one wheel is off the ground (dirt)

Airborne for the K5, FJ40, Dune Buddy and Jeep. Some times not on purpose either

Honed my welding on that old WWII Jeep's frame. 15 at that time and the old guys
at the auto parts/machine shop showed me HOW2 gusset the welds. Later in college
was taught the science behind all of that

Pure 'good' pavement rigs will never need a stiff frame, nor will their owners
ever understand why

Few go to the places I go to and few drive like I do...so why would I expect
everyone else to likewise...like some think what I like/want is not needed because
they don't...

I am older now and don't do some of the stuff when young and single...

He said he lifted the steer tire 18" to flex the frame what 1/2". I don't think I've ever driven a vehicle over that type of terrain. Let alone pulled a trailer over that. Would like to see the competitors subjected to the same test.

I use to think it was not significant either

Until the Ford Frame Flex was linked to broken radiators!!!

This is a significant design flaw...and I'm not sure is was entirely resolved in the 6.7 trucks.

Thanks!

And an earlier version posted months ago. I guess if you took your truck rock climbing it might have some meaning. Otherwise pointless.

Plus, it's just marketing baloney. Either one would work out just fine.

Not spending 24/7 like some, I missed it also

To the OP very interesting , thanks for posting. I can add it to the long list of why I bought a new Ram.
