Think it'll be warranty?

I can tell you I didn't photoshop it :) No idea.

The web forum it was on was a Dodge/Ram forum, so I suppose someone could do that, but the way it was described didn't sound like that.

I think it was due to the way it was loaded.

It happens, put trucks in extreme situations, and failures will occur.

Agree. The huge overhang requires a long tongue and tow bar, and that just looks like a recipe for disaster.

I would like to hear the Paul Harvey version with the rest of the story.

I wonder how creative the for sale posting will be, calling out the shiny new frame.

Wow, they must had bee hauling lead to bend the frame like that. Superduty still uses a C-channel frame from the cab back, so it should be a fairly easy repair to the frame (Boxed sections are more difficult to work on). Having a longer hitch setup like that should take some weight off the tongue though.

I looked through the forum it was posted in again. The guy that posted the picture knows the owner personally. It was NOT from a wreck, just overloading. He said they actually just straightened the frame at a collision repair place on the frame machine and called it good :E. I don't know if they welded in any reinforcements or what.

Apparently, the TC is about 4500 empty. So the truck was probably overloaded.

Wow...just wow...that's a newer F350 based on the Dually fenders. I think 08 and up or 11 and up had that style of rear fender (not sure which).

There had to be way more to this story.

Of course 4000 lb truck camper plus 1000 lb tongue weight on a 50 inch lever certainly applied a lot of force to the frame. Even then I can't imagine a frame snapping.

Wonder if it was a rebuilt wreck with bad welds. Lol

Thanks!

Hmm did it get in a wreck? Can't see the front end. I can assure you that any tow truck on the road has had way more weight hanging off the back. Just YouTube "tow truck wheelie" if you don't believe that point :).
