Lol this popped up on my news feed...

An Eagle Cap Camper Snapped A Ram 3500 Dually In Half, Mopar Refuses $17,000 Repair Bill | Carscoops

Now the owner of the brokeback Ram is facing that bill because Mopar says it's his fault

I guess those Ford blowhards forget about all the broken and bent frames on that Raptor POS...Hell, they advertise it doing things that cause failures they won't warranty.

Tell your Ford buddy if he looks hard enough, he will probably find photos of people roasting marshmallows while their Ford burns to the ground.
At least these Ram photos are from people doing dumb stuff and not because Ram built the truck wrong.

Maybe all you ram guys should just haul marshmallows!--At least you can carry something around!!

You are so right 'cuz hauling 6,000lbs of marshmallows is a lot easier on the frame than hauling 6000lbs of lead.

Maybe it's just me, but these might be overloaded to a degree?

Pretty sure they stopped suddenly when they rear-ended someone. Bumper looks angled. Don't think you'd see too many of those ford's survive that either lol.

My understanding is that in the goosneck frame bend, more physics contributed than just the loading issue. Apparently someone pulled out in front of them or braked hard causing the driver to slam on his brakes, which shifted the entire load quickly forward causing the frame to take the hit of the huge load.

That car hauler picture, that's why Kenworth, and Mack build tandems.
Reminds me of a Ram picture of a 3/4 ton and payloader just dropped a 2 yrd of gravel in it.
A bit F***** up. City boys.
Around here , I have seen 2 big camper trailers been pulled by single axel freightliners trucks.

Actually it might be better. 6k of marshmallows would displace the weight a lot better at least....

That camper is a beast. You are definitely in 450 territory there

Figuring you spread both loads over the entire bed.

 

[Docwagon1776]

My friend who is a big Ford guy said, "should have bought a Ford"

I would have replied "he was doing fine until he picked up your mom hitchhiking."

6k lbs of marshmallows you might have to stick them in the cab and strap them to hood. 6000 bags will take up a lot of room lmao.

Robot or human?

Yep, broke at the tie down point. Looks like he might have a little weight behind the axle on this one too.
