Sport trac frame does not look bent to me. Cab to bed gap looks the same as mine but it is way way overloaded.

Sport trac sits on a Ranger frame and not the explore frame. Mine was rated 5500 4x4 with the 4.0. Cant recall the payload but it was a nice truck for boat towing.

If this is a typical example of a steel bed, it's no wonder Ford is switching to aluminum.

Can somebody tell me what has actually happened here? The springs broke? The frame?
It seems to me that the transmission would have given out before the frame.The major weight of the horse trailer would have been on the trailer tires
, right?Thanks,MM.
No...it would be 4 horses or even more at 1,200 lbs.each inside scrambling. :W
This cargo moves! I often pull a four place slant horse trailer with my MH. You KNOW it's back there when they start moving around. I.E. scrambling.
My question is not answered.... what has happened to the truck?
Thanks,
MM.

Is that one of them new made of beer cans aluminum trucks?
