Maybe the frames shouldn't bend while offroading with a $60k offroading specific truck?

Shouldn't happen on a brand new truck being used for what it was advertised as.

You only drive a truck because you have a small penis.

My truck, on the other hand, actually gets used, constantly.

Being used for offroad and jumping it as far as you can are two different things.

I know I've seen the frame and that's the only way possible it got bent. So either you're full of shit or the person who told you they didn't jump it is full of shit.

They were doing nothing but trail running out west. What the truck was supposedly built for. Google it.

Yes because you always get the full story from a one sided perspective. Nothing is ever omitted when one is trying to make a claim. People are inherently honest.

Ok, I'll go your route then. The guy whose 4x4 didn't work HAD to have driven around on dry pavement in 4-lo to break it.

That's why Ford has a seperate system for 4 lo and 4 hi with with actuators at the wheels on 4hi. B/c Ford is smarter than GM.

And don't you drive a dodge? You have to replace your ball joints on every oil change. Shittiest front ends in history of trucks.

I had a Dodge 2500 as a beat around truck. Sold it to a local farmer for more than I paid for it. I see it hauling grain wagons and hay wagons all the time.

I drive a 2010 Z71 most of the time.

If they blow out part of or the whole transfer case in 4-lo it still won't work.

That's why you regulate the speed on 4 low to creeper. No one is going to drive on that.

It actually never had any front end issues in the 15k and 2 years I had it. The bigger issue was the blown head gaskets and seized plugs that needed tapped out.
