    nice to know tacoma's aren't the only trucks with shitty rear frame sections...

    however, frame failure will happen to anything when put through abuse

    Yeah i read that whole thread, and one other member went over a small ditch in a campground parking lot pulling his trailer, and bent the shit out of his frame at the bump stop. Less then 5mph.

    No this is not an isolated thing, many many raptor owners are now coming out of the wood work with this issue.

    I totally understand what you're saying, but if you read the thread- it was his second time taking the truck offroad at all.

    oh i know... i've read the thread on raptor forumz too

    i totally agree... ford took a shit when they built this truck on a stock 150 frame. it doesn't take a genius to know that building a prerunner truck and bumping off the frame with a mounting hole at the weak point (up bend) is a bad idea...

    i'm just saying when you wheel a "stock truck" at speeds of 80-100+ MPH... things will break
