    The beds aren't weak, the 2nd gen frame is just a little more flexible than the first gen.

    This is actually an advantage in some situations offroad, and a disadvantage at other times (hauling/towing mainly). Whether or not it's a problem for any given person is up to them. I purchased the truck almost exclusively to turn into an offroad unit, so this doesn't worry me much.
