@@jacksonmeads1161 @Nikolas Fedorko Are you two the guys that were also laughing at Ford for making vehicles out of aluminum alloy when that's exactly what Chevy is doing now?
I have a 79 Ford, and while I don't have any issues with sudden bed denting, I will say that there is enough flex to the frame that you can see the bed/cab offset just from parking on uneven terrain, like next to a tree. Does it bother me? No. Would it be better if it didn't flex? No. The frame is part of the suspension, in my opinion. It's just a great big Model T.
Paul Wright No they don’t. Maybe a full size, but mid size and jeeps are where it’s at for rock crawling. And are you blind? Chevy’s reliability is shit. Are you getting your data from JD power, because that is straight bull shit? People pay for those awards.
Paul Wright they say fords are the number one selling truck brand. Do they put Chevy and GMC together in that calculation? GM is by for the best out there.
Ok now that I’m parked sideways with two opposite side wheels on ramps I’m gonna go unload all the shit in my trunk by opening the tailgate and not grabbing it
@Grady Frankovich , that's bs. My family has owned two fords in my lifetime. The first was a '97 F350 XL Crew Cab Dually. Beautiful truck, but we had rebuild the tranny 3 times. The second was an Explorer (I don't know the year). We had it for about 2 years before the engine blew up. I like Ford vehicles, but the drivetrains can't be trusted.
Ford's are supposed to have a flexible frame called A C frame and that lets if you're pulling a trailer or let's most of the back wheels to stay on the ground instead of 6 wheels going up into the freaking air and one on the way sarcastically I say
After watching a number of old trucks off road, frame flex appears to make up for the lack of suspension travel in leaf spring suspensions, often resulting in better traction.
CASPER 12345 Is that why Chevy is so much less reliable? Fords are on the ranch because they are tough. Chevys are on the road cause that’s all they can handle.
@Sgtqman19 lol yeah but if you can have a truck that has more traction than the competition, twist like that, drive off, and be safe in crashes then your definitely winning in the "truck game"
I will speak from experience. I bought a brand new of the lot 2015 Ford F-150 and out of the 7 months I had it, it sent a total of 3 months in the shop being repaired broke down on me constantly and everything you can imagine went wrong. Dealership offered me another one when I told them I wanted to return it to purchase another vehicle and I kindly said no and bought a Chevy Silverado I’ve now had it for 5 years going on 6 and it has not been to the shop once and it runs just as smooth as the day I bought it. That is my unbiased experience with the 2 vehicles.
Well i got a 96 chevy truck with 496k miles on it only replaced intake gasket and wearable parts and of course 4l60e trans . thats 496k of chicago stop and go and driving across kentucky through mountains
I'm not a Ford lover or anything like it but, this whole situation looked staged... It's just that with all that twisting one could think Ford would bend backwards for their fans
OK, critical thinking questions: Is the level of stiffness shown here necessary or even good for the longevity of the truck as it is put through the paces of its working life? Alternatively, does a pickup truck's frame need to exhibit some measure of flex / resiliency in order to prevent any type of snapping/shearing or long term metal fatigue? I really don't know the answer here, so I'm genuinely asking.
+sammy duran How about the chevy commercial with the bear and with the steel cage and aluminum cage where everyone went into the steel cage when real bear cages are made of aluminum.
Whitestar Ya pretty funny, what I'm waiting for is for the new aluminum super duties to go through frame twist obstacle, I wonder how they're gunna hold up this time lol
Neil Whitmore Any smart dealer would never try to conduct a bullshit test because then people would find out by trying to test their own trucks and sell them and buy the competitor. This is the one time where you don’t want to lie to your consumers.
You also don't want a truck to be as stiff as the Chevy under load, it can reduce traction. the torsional twist helps keep at least 3 wheels planted to the road. Chevy's and Dodges are notorious for cracked frames when plowing
Yeah but if you go up a little hill like the one in the video, the bed door doesn't get jammed as the Ford did. My Chevy has been through hills and back. She's outdid any Ford truck even in accidents.
Kevin Wayburn actually it's the consistent flexing that causes the snapped frames it's like grabbing steel and bending it back and forth until it snaps less flex is better which is why they snap ram had rust and a stress point at the front of the bed that would cause snapping
the only people that can say that neither o these trucks are any good are dodge fans, because gmc/gm makes/owns chev which is a piece of shit company trying to beat out a great one.
Most people just don't like it because it's a completely new design, but to be honest, even if you don't like the truck or don't like Tesla it should be a good thing that it has so many features. Silverados and f150s have been the same thing for years, but now Tesla is putting pressure on Ford to make more affordable trucks with more features. Cause with a 40k price tag and all the features the cybertruck has, it's a serious competition over an f150.
Stonewall Jackson 2wd vs 4wd. What are you expecting them from. Why didn’t they use Ford electric with 4wd or HD 4wd? Tesla chose Ford 2wd to cheating as they thought we all too stupid to notice. We busted them.
The thing about Bed Twist is that the less you have, it is NOT a better thing. A stiffer chassis has to endure more force to not bend as much, and can lead to stressing of the metal frame and possibly breakage. The Chevy has too stiff of a frame. Doing this too much will stress out the chassis after a while, and it will either become permanently warped or will break. The Ford frame is OK. Not perfect, but it is enough give to put less stress on the frame of the vehicle. You can't open the tailgate in this position, but when are you ever going to need to?
You get the point! FORD's frame could use improvements like anything else that which has been done since the 70's till 2015. I sure hope that FORD sticks to there beefed up C-Channel vs a Thinner Fully Box'd Chassis when the Superduty is due for a major update soon and just continue to develop on what has worked for so long. GM and RAM's solution was to go with a STIFF Sausage, Good in Bed with Her, BAD if you Wrestle with Her. Should I say, Broke Sausage!!
WRONG, They are all using steel which is flexible but the difference is fully boxed vs c channel. In addition, RAM and GM has more cross members to provide additional durability. Ford is using outdated frames from 1970s.
Let me tell you why that's bullshit. More cross members means more welds. More welds provide more places there the chassis can break from flexing. Less cross-members provide a bit of extra flex in the chassis, but this means the chassis has less possible breaking points and is thus more durable. Ford sticks with the saying, "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Their chassis, 1970s or not, has proven that it does its job better than its competitors. Let's not mention how many times GM has had to re-engineer the chassis they use. Some GM vehicles are famous for the weakness of their frames, particularly Chevrolet and GMC.
***** Going along with that way of thinking, Ford must have the worst motors as they redesign them all the time and never have a long running model. Unlike the Chevrolet Gen I small block that lasted 50 years.
i got no problem with the chassis flexibility. i am a horse transporter, and i use that flexibility when i am pulling my 47 feet, 23.000 GVWR with 8 warm bloods of 1.300 pounds each one, specially when i am at the farms picking them up off road. in the past i drove a Sierra 3500 and i had no problem, it wasn't a bad truck, some little electric issues (nothing major), and the interior is not the nicest, but i change for a F450 king ranch cause i need a stronger rear axle, and it is amazing, a little slower, but more powerful on hills, it is almost 280.000 miles, and i had nothimg bad with it, just a problem with thw DEF sensor, and a leaking in the oil pan when it has around 180.000.
Whats not mentioned here is that some manufactures make a rigid chassis and some make them flexible, for instance Toyotas Land Cruiser had a chassis with 4.5 inches of flex up to & including the 47 series.
Joshua Moore dude. This is the same test. Its not like the tool box test they could have faked. This just shows chevy has better quality and always has.
That's done by your suspension... Not the frame of the truck. I see why you're a Ford guy. You guys don't know trucks you get repairs done at the dealership.
And what do you do? Sit in your chevy waiting for it to start but it wont? Seriously dont need to be mean about let him decide what truck he wants. Also chevy has a lot of recalls lately on all on new trucks and you expect that new trucks should be better.
@@ravethephantom6184 Ford SHOULD have a lot of recalls, besides, no car buff drives Ford's and you'll notice that and for a good reason. They aren't built to work on. They're built to bring into the dealership with the other house wives.
See the key word here is SHOULD but they dont have any as of late honestly I'm not trying to make anyone mean here in the end of the day if you have the money then buy whatever the heck you want if you want a ford get a ford if you want a chevy get a chevy I'm just saying what I see from all of this. Honestly everyone has different experiences and no matter what they dont really matter honestly I love trucks of all kinds but I really dont like to hate on any brand but Ford aren't bad at all just have to take care of it like every other vehicle and your good
@@Smitty-op4ld "That's done by your suspension." no it's not. you only have like 8 inches of suspension travel, you'll rattle your brain out of your head and shit out your spine relying solely on the suspension. I drive my 2009 F150 through dirt roads all the time and I can see the cab and bed moving independently of each other, and it's never been and issue. this truck has lived almost it's whole life in dirt and it's as strait as an arrow.
torsional rigidity should be of a real world test. Not some ramps that keep the wheels off the ground. GM is always coming up with weird test like the "empty toolbox" pushed over the bedside but you can see on the commercial it punctures the GM bed also.
Notice that the 1-ton trucks were loaded and they didn't drive the 3500HD up all the way on the ramp so that the rear duals would hang off the ground. If they did the Chevy would suffer frame damage because it doesn't flex enough. A tailgate costs less to fix than replacing a frame.
Dylan Gilbertson The empty 3/4 ton trucks (both Ford & Chevy) were driven further up the ramp than the loaded 1-ton trucks (both Ford & Chevy). If flex is bad, why to class 8 trucks have c-channel frames? F-250 and up trucks are more sought after by up-fitters because their frames are stronger and easier to build off of. How many Chevy or Dodge ambulances have you seen in your life? Any reputable tow truck builder will not even touch a Dodger or modern Chevrolet truck. What do most of the power companies use? Construction companies? Manufacturing? etc. Don't lie to yourself. The Ford is selected more because it is built like an industrial grade truck. Industrial grade trucks do not have boxed frames. I love the boxed frame that my F-150 has. Its really firm and rides like a tank, but it will not withstand the compressive load that a big c-channel can. I wish they would load these frames up to the point of failure. If they did, everyone would see that the Ford would handle more weight before it fails than the Chevy or Dodge. If the loaded 1-ton Chevy would have been driven on the ramp like the 3/4 ton it would have been damaged. At the very least the welds would have failed at the cross-members.
supermotox55 Dodge has the worst frames. I know a man who built Chevy and Dodge frames for 30 years; he drives a Ford. Chrysler has always chosen the cheapest way to get the job done. Back in the late 80s Cummins told Chrysler that they wouldn't let them use their engines until they improved their frames because they wouldn't hold up, and they didn't want the reputation of their engine ruined. They were DESCENT until the late 90s, but then they started cutting corners again. For example, if you take a 2002 Dodge to a tow-truck builder to get up-fitted they will tell you to get lost. The whole truck would need to be tore down so that the entire frame could be beefed up. Chevy had a pretty good frame in their 3500HDs around 96'-00'. That is why you see a considerable amount of tow trucks in these years that are Chevy/GMCs.
supermotox55 Chevy has the worste frame! what the hell are you talking about, Ford has the toughest frame by far. If anything Ford can compete with dodge chevy is at the bottom of the barrel. just remember Chevy is GMCs retarded brother.
I love how people fight over brands. I LOVE Ford, Dodge, and Chevrolet (GM). Out of them they all have weaknesses and strengths. I like Chevrolet for towing, its low to the ground, comfortable, and unlike Dodge and Ford the Allison cannot be beaten, but I wouldn't take my Duramax offroad without a lift kit. I like my Dodge because you can't get the sound of a Cummins from anything else on the market, the nostalgic semi front end, and my 24v Cummins will outlast my Duramax and my 7.3 Stroke hands down. And my 7.3 stroke and 5.9 Cummins both are high off the ground, ride like haywagons, and have solid front axles so I play offroad with those two and haul four wheelers. Plus, my 36' Forest River 5th wheel is heavy and the Duramax with sling that rig all over the road, but my Cummins and Stroke just don't do that. They pull it don't get me wrong, but my Duramax will mop the floor with both my Cummins and powerstroke pulling that trailer while they remain unloaded. Love them all, the big 3, but you can't get the entire package in one truck. Never happen.
The new Rams with the cummins use AISIN transmissions, so as far as the powertrain goes I would put them above the GM at this point. I'm purely talking about the engine/trans. Rear ends are solid too.
The test is not real. If you want to prove this, measure and draw the same line on the truck, a guide line for both trucks. It looks like they just tape it whatever they want .
Well look at the first test the Ford obviously didn't have any load like the Chevy notice how they didn't show or even tilt the camera to see in the bed
@@andrewmclamb6984 I didn't realise, but you are in every comment defending chevy- for what? Its painfully obvious how staged and fake this is. Also, suspension on both trucks has its limits. Once the chevy's suspension gets bottomed out- ting! The frame goes bye-bye. The Ford won't have that problem because excess energy is channeled into the bed. And even if the bed gets damaged, it's a hell of a lot cheaper to replace a bed than an entire frame.
only thing this videos tells me is how much EASIER it would be to snap a chevy frame. no give. that flex is there for a reason, look at a semi truck when its taking off from a red light.
Actually that's how you screw your frame bro,lots of flex is bad,fords are good trucks just not a strong as a Chevrolet I know I've owned many of both all from the 70s
how does this prove anything? The only benefit to the kind of test is maybe for rock crawling. Who is going to park their truck with two opposing wheels off the ground not to mention do it on purpose?
even going through just small ditches puts your truck in that position and I take my 2011 Silverado on them on a daily basis and the tailgate hasn't broke yet. so therefore Ford is complete trash
I own 8 trucks. 4 Fords, 1 Dodge Ram, 1 Silverado HD(one used in this video) and a toyota tacoma. When you see the undercarriage on the Chevy in this video you see reinforcement struts. The Chevy (LTZ package) that I have does not have those reinforcement struts. I think that they reinforced it for the video. Although all car companies are at fault for this jackassery ford and dodge is still better.
I like how Chevy actually explains to it's viewer's why they are better than Ford without saying, "Because we're built Ford tough". My Chevy drove up to 10 miles after a real bad wreck to the repair shop. My dad's Ford truck,however, was still stuck in the ditch totalled! lmao
Ford been making trucks longer than anybody in the business they only get better at making them its a reason they have the #1 selling truck in America 😂😂
Im a chevy guy all the way, but have personally seen and driven both trucks in similar situations, and have NOT seen a ford perform that badly, let alone crease the endgate. Somthing must be rigged here. They are both quality trucks, and in real situations neither will have a problem like this.
It is very seldon you would ever flex this hard unless you are either trying to demonstrate flex or are rock crawling. I can see this happening under extreme circumstances. Most trucks that crawl make some nasty noises in the chassis as they flex. Just watch any rock crawling video on youtube.
Thank you. I am a ford guy but at least one or two chevy guys actually understand the facts about ford. Ford and Chevy make their trucks differently and i have my reasons for liking ford over chevy but at least one chevy guy knows the facts and doesnt try to go with the Fix Or Repair Daily bullshit
@Patrick Wright Would you actually bend a truck like that though? Any type. No, you wouldn't. You'd have no reason to. Chevy just wants to win something.
@@andrewmclamb6984 Lmao the Chevy's frame was definitely bent by the test. The reason the bed flexes is to make sure that the frame doesn't get bent and so that the energy has somewhere to go. Also this test was staged- bolts were loosened in the Ford
I've owned my Ford truck now for many years. Coming up on nearly 30 years now. It still works great and hauls too! I'd like to see what they did to the frames of each truck since they were working for Chev to begin with. It's funny how many people who own Ford trucks have nothing to prove. It seems it's always the Chevy owners.
J Weber Umm every ford guy has something to prove, that's why you just said you had your truck for 30 yrs and still works great. that sounds like you are trying to prove something. my stepdads 95 f150 is still doing well too but I am not going to sound like its the best ever.
J Weber Ford measures both longevity durability and maximum performance these recent 15 years, while Chevrolet provides only performance. Look at their Corvettes, as shitty as a Ferrari. Look at their AFM, seriously f'd up in all of their products still dont save gas.
I watched a 2015 ford F150 explode on the interstate next to me as I drove by in my 2004 Chevy 1500. It made my day to know my old truck will last longer than the new trucks out this year.
I am a ford guy and I own a 2000 Ford F-250 7.3 powerstroke, but I have to say the Chevy trucks that were made before the bailout were actually pretty good I still think Ford is better though.
@@donaldkinder6716 that is a lie. Chevy trucks are cheaper quality because they still use steel. Ford uses military grade aluminum that is twice as strong as Chevy's steel body and it doesn't rust out as quick as garbage ass GM trucks.

They literally just proved that the Ford has better suspension characteristics, and act like it’s a negative. The flexible frame allows for the wheels to have better contact with uneven surfaces, as well as a softer ride quality that’s more merciful on your cargo. But if you’re unfortunate enough to get your truck into this almost impossible situation, the least of your worries should be if your tailgate opens. lol

After watching a number of old trucks off road, frame flex appears to make up for the lack of suspension travel in leaf spring suspensions, often resulting in better traction.
Who be driving there trucks like that. I live on a farm and never had to put my truck in a twist
For rock crawling in a stock truck 😂😂😂

Is that why Chevy is so much less reliable? Fords are on the ranch because they are tough. Chevys are on the road cause that’s all they can handle.

People who get paid to break a truck to get more money and fake everything
Soul R 7 it’s done to show how shitty Ford is🤣🤣🤣🤣
ford designs there trucks frames to bend so they have a better chance of keeping all 4 on the ground to increase traction
Ya and the tailgate still fucked up😂
Yeah and they're safer in crashes
@Sgtqman19 lol yeah but if you can have a truck that has more traction than the competition, twist like that, drive off, and be safe in crashes then your definitely winning in the "truck game"
that dent in the tailgate will pop right out with a plunger and the trucks like new again

I will speak from experience. I bought a brand new of the lot 2015 Ford F-150 and out of the 7 months I had it, it sent a total of 3 months in the shop being repaired broke down on me constantly and everything you can imagine went wrong. Dealership offered me another one when I told them I wanted to return it to purchase another vehicle and I kindly said no and bought a Chevy Silverado I’ve now had it for 5 years going on 6 and it has not been to the shop once and it runs just as smooth as the day I bought it. That is my unbiased experience with the 2 vehicles.
Remember when Chevy
Said they are more reliable than toyota and Honda.
Thats the worst commercial ever😂
Well i got a 96 chevy truck with 496k miles on it only replaced intake gasket and wearable parts and of course 4l60e trans . thats 496k of chicago stop and go and driving across kentucky through mountains

They are staged but eh what can you do about it
When I’m off-roading in my brand new f-250 the first thing I think of doing is opening my tail gate
colby bellows 🤣🤣
You sure will once your done and it wont open
Dont have to worry about it...won't open anyways...
But Chevy has to think like that. It's going to break down while off reading and they will need the tailgate down.
Ford guys have to think of that jackleg kind of stuff
OK, critical thinking questions: Is the level of stiffness shown here necessary or even good for the longevity of the truck as it is put through the paces of its working life? Alternatively, does a pickup truck's frame need to exhibit some measure of flex / resiliency in order to prevent any type of snapping/shearing or long term metal fatigue?
I really don't know the answer here, so I'm genuinely asking.
1:14 dont you love how they were zoomed in on exactly that part of the bed when it ''Bent'' coincidence i think not.
All they did is zoom in after they filmed

Flexible frames are stronger. Rigid frames crack or bend .
Incorrect. If the frame bends like this, it indicates no structural rigidity
Andy's Shop your incorrect buddy

Neil Whitmore Any smart dealer would never try to conduct a bullshit test because then people would find out by trying to test their own trucks and sell them and buy the competitor. This is the one time where you don’t want to lie to your consumers.
Jake Thomas Have you seen that Chevy toolbox commercial?
Neil Whitmore fr.
It’s cuz Chevy is afraid to show that it can’t carry as much of a load than what a Ford can
Neil Whitmore I know right
Having owned all three; Dodge, Chevy, Ford never had issues with "Twist", wheel alignment, scheduled servicing and cup holders are all I care about.
why did the camera focus on the damaged tailgate right before the damage occurred?
You also don't want a truck to be as stiff as the Chevy under load, it can reduce traction. the torsional twist helps keep at least 3 wheels planted to the road. Chevy's and Dodges are notorious for cracked frames when plowing
Yeah but if you go up a little hill like the one in the video, the bed door doesn't get jammed as the Ford did. My Chevy has been through hills and back. She's outdid any Ford truck even in accidents.
+Cindy Conny doubt it
+Cindy Conny When do you ever open your bed in a fucking ditch lol
Kevin Wayburn actually it's the consistent flexing that causes the snapped frames it's like grabbing steel and bending it back and forth until it snaps less flex is better which is why they snap ram had rust and a stress point at the front of the bed that would cause snapping
Less flex the better that's why you make sure your suspension is ok and working properly or upgrade it

War Turtle this had me on the floor because I'm actually eating popcorn and I'm a dodge fan
8cho Sports yeah ik but this is between silverado and f1shitty not denalis n stuff
Youre a special kind of stupid. Chevy and GMC are the same thing.
the only people that can say that neither o these trucks are any good are dodge fans, because gmc/gm makes/owns chev which is a piece of shit company trying to beat out a great one.
Let's see how the Cyber"truck" stands this test.
Stonewall Jackson that ford was the lowest f 150 model you could get and the Ford was in 2 wheel drive
It'll handle it incredibly, it has adaptive air suspension. And to say it's not a truck shows your ignorance. It has a full size bed lmao
Elon musk even directly responded to somebody sending him this video on Twitter lol
Most people just don't like it because it's a completely new design, but to be honest, even if you don't like the truck or don't like Tesla it should be a good thing that it has so many features. Silverados and f150s have been the same thing for years, but now Tesla is putting pressure on Ford to make more affordable trucks with more features. Cause with a 40k price tag and all the features the cybertruck has, it's a serious competition over an f150.
Stonewall Jackson 2wd vs 4wd. What are you expecting them from. Why didn’t they use Ford electric with 4wd or HD 4wd?
Tesla chose Ford 2wd to cheating as they thought we all too stupid to notice.
We busted them.
The thing about Bed Twist is that the less you have, it is NOT a better thing. A stiffer chassis has to endure more force to not bend as much, and can lead to stressing of the metal frame and possibly breakage.
The Chevy has too stiff of a frame. Doing this too much will stress out the chassis after a while, and it will either become permanently warped or will break.
The Ford frame is OK. Not perfect, but it is enough give to put less stress on the frame of the vehicle. You can't open the tailgate in this position, but when are you ever going to need to?
You get the point! FORD's frame could use improvements like anything else that which has been done since the 70's till 2015. I sure hope that FORD sticks to there beefed up C-Channel vs a Thinner Fully Box'd Chassis when the Superduty is due for a major update soon and just continue to develop on what has worked for so long.
GM and RAM's solution was to go with a STIFF Sausage, Good in Bed with Her, BAD if you Wrestle with Her. Should I say, Broke Sausage!!
Micah Watts
I am glad someone agrees. I see an innuendo in GM's and RAM's solution... giggity.
WRONG, They are all using steel which is flexible but the difference is fully boxed vs c channel. In addition, RAM and GM has more cross members to provide additional durability. Ford is using outdated frames from 1970s.
Let me tell you why that's bullshit.
More cross members means more welds. More welds provide more places there the chassis can break from flexing. Less cross-members provide a bit of extra flex in the chassis, but this means the chassis has less possible breaking points and is thus more durable. Ford sticks with the saying, "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Their chassis, 1970s or not, has proven that it does its job better than its competitors. Let's not mention how many times GM has had to re-engineer the chassis they use. Some GM vehicles are famous for the weakness of their frames, particularly Chevrolet and GMC.
***** Going along with that way of thinking, Ford must have the worst motors as they redesign them all the time and never have a long running model. Unlike the Chevrolet Gen I small block that lasted 50 years.
i got no problem with the chassis flexibility. i am a horse transporter, and i use that flexibility when i am pulling my 47 feet, 23.000 GVWR with 8 warm bloods of 1.300 pounds each one, specially when i am at the farms picking them up off road. in the past i drove a Sierra 3500 and i had no problem, it wasn't a bad truck, some little electric issues (nothing major), and the interior is not the nicest, but i change for a F450 king ranch cause i need a stronger rear axle, and it is amazing, a little slower, but more powerful on hills, it is almost 280.000 miles, and i had nothimg bad with it, just a problem with thw DEF sensor, and a leaking in the oil pan when it has around 180.000.
Chevy's have so many issues, they actually installed a recall button in them.
Cardboard Sliver they shit Ford goof
Cardboard Sliver Chevy is now using Ford F series parts!!
@@streethazardz They can't be using F Series parts. GM trucks are still breaking down!
Really?
Atleast they have a recall button . Ford was too cheap to put one in
Whats not mentioned here is that some manufactures make a rigid chassis and some make them flexible, for instance Toyotas Land Cruiser had a chassis with 4.5 inches of flex up to & including the 47 series.
This isn’t an experiment it’s an add for Chevy and if it is its favored one way
Thanks for all the likes 👍

@@Attachments. thank you
I Still would rather have the Ford. I go off road every day and would rather have all 4 wheels in contact with the ground.
That's done by your suspension... Not the frame of the truck. I see why you're a Ford guy. You guys don't know trucks you get repairs done at the dealership.
And what do you do? Sit in your chevy waiting for it to start but it wont? Seriously dont need to be mean about let him decide what truck he wants. Also chevy has a lot of recalls lately on all on new trucks and you expect that new trucks should be better.
@@ravethephantom6184 Ford SHOULD have a lot of recalls, besides, no car buff drives Ford's and you'll notice that and for a good reason. They aren't built to work on. They're built to bring into the dealership with the other house wives.
See the key word here is SHOULD but they dont have any as of late honestly I'm not trying to make anyone mean here in the end of the day if you have the money then buy whatever the heck you want if you want a ford get a ford if you want a chevy get a chevy I'm just saying what I see from all of this. Honestly everyone has different experiences and no matter what they dont really matter honestly I love trucks of all kinds but I really dont like to hate on any brand but Ford aren't bad at all just have to take care of it like every other vehicle and your good
@@Smitty-op4ld "That's done by your suspension." no it's not. you only have like 8 inches of suspension travel, you'll rattle your brain out of your head and shit out your spine relying solely on the suspension. I drive my 2009 F150 through dirt roads all the time and I can see the cab and bed moving independently of each other, and it's never been and issue. this truck has lived almost it's whole life in dirt and it's as strait as an arrow.
torsional rigidity should be of a real world test. Not some ramps that keep the wheels off the ground. GM is always coming up with weird test like the "empty toolbox" pushed over the bedside but you can see on the commercial it punctures the GM bed also.
I’ll take a Ford over a Chevy any day
Be prepared to break down all the time
@@DJ-om2oz nah
Did u watch the video?
@@DJ-om2oz yeah it was bias because Chevy made the video
Let me go throw up
Notice that the 1-ton trucks were loaded and they didn't drive the 3500HD up all the way on the ramp so that the rear duals would hang off the ground. If they did the Chevy would suffer frame damage because it doesn't flex enough. A tailgate costs less to fix than replacing a frame.
David Larbes There was plenty of room.. It's staged, But Chevy and Dodge have the best frames, Dodge being having the less tweak to it.
Dylan Gilbertson The empty 3/4 ton trucks (both Ford & Chevy) were driven further up the ramp than the loaded 1-ton trucks (both Ford & Chevy). If flex is bad, why to class 8 trucks have c-channel frames? F-250 and up trucks are more sought after by up-fitters because their frames are stronger and easier to build off of. How many Chevy or Dodge ambulances have you seen in your life? Any reputable tow truck builder will not even touch a Dodger or modern Chevrolet truck. What do most of the power companies use? Construction companies? Manufacturing? etc. Don't lie to yourself. The Ford is selected more because it is built like an industrial grade truck. Industrial grade trucks do not have boxed frames. I love the boxed frame that my F-150 has. Its really firm and rides like a tank, but it will not withstand the compressive load that a big c-channel can. I wish they would load these frames up to the point of failure. If they did, everyone would see that the Ford would handle more weight before it fails than the Chevy or Dodge. If the loaded 1-ton Chevy would have been driven on the ramp like the 3/4 ton it would have been damaged. At the very least the welds would have failed at the cross-members.
David Larbes????? bud idk if you looked close enough the first time, but you need to take another look.
supermotox55 Dodge has the worst frames. I know a man who built Chevy and Dodge frames for 30 years; he drives a Ford. Chrysler has always chosen the cheapest way to get the job done. Back in the late 80s Cummins told Chrysler that they wouldn't let them use their engines until they improved their frames because they wouldn't hold up, and they didn't want the reputation of their engine ruined. They were DESCENT until the late 90s, but then they started cutting corners again. For example, if you take a 2002 Dodge to a tow-truck builder to get up-fitted they will tell you to get lost. The whole truck would need to be tore down so that the entire frame could be beefed up. Chevy had a pretty good frame in their 3500HDs around 96'-00'. That is why you see a considerable amount of tow trucks in these years that are Chevy/GMCs.
supermotox55 Chevy has the worste frame! what the hell are you talking about, Ford has the toughest frame by far. If anything Ford can compete with dodge chevy is at the bottom of the barrel. just remember Chevy is GMCs retarded brother.

Chevy: i know how to rust the fastest bb
Ford: we learned from our mistakes...
I love how people fight over brands. I LOVE Ford, Dodge, and Chevrolet (GM). Out of them they all have weaknesses and strengths. I like Chevrolet for towing, its low to the ground, comfortable, and unlike Dodge and Ford the Allison cannot be beaten, but I wouldn't take my Duramax offroad without a lift kit. I like my Dodge because you can't get the sound of a Cummins from anything else on the market, the nostalgic semi front end, and my 24v Cummins will outlast my Duramax and my 7.3 Stroke hands down. And my 7.3 stroke and 5.9 Cummins both are high off the ground, ride like haywagons, and have solid front axles so I play offroad with those two and haul four wheelers. Plus, my 36' Forest River 5th wheel is heavy and the Duramax with sling that rig all over the road, but my Cummins and Stroke just don't do that. They pull it don't get me wrong, but my Duramax will mop the floor with both my Cummins and powerstroke pulling that trailer while they remain unloaded. Love them all, the big 3, but you can't get the entire package in one truck. Never happen.
The new Rams with the cummins use AISIN transmissions, so as far as the powertrain goes I would put them above the GM at this point. I'm purely talking about the engine/trans. Rear ends are solid too.
You know its bias when there is a 1st party representative there...
And btw motortrend truck of the year is which company can pay motor trend the most award
notice that chevy NEVER competes against ram, only ford
That's because Fiat can't build a truck.
Because Ram is no competition, Chevy has been behind 20k units for the past idk how many years..
Flammable Icecream actually ford copied chevy
Anthony Fulmer yeah why

That gate is locked, but that bed indeed does that.
Chevy's slogan should be: Chevy: we can lie in your face with a straight face
Go to 3:10 and pause the video, something looks odd about the way those devices are taped on to the truck tilted... doesn't it?
Moved them to the point it's cheating
Hmm yes but it could be an illusion
The test is not real. If you want to prove this, measure and draw the same line on the truck, a guide line for both trucks. It looks like they just tape it whatever they want .
Well look at the first test the Ford obviously didn't have any load like the Chevy notice how they didn't show or even tilt the camera to see in the bed
Keagan Long yea
Any one else realise that the fords tail gate was locked
I sure as hell did. You can hear a click on the Chevy tailgate that means it unlatches where on the ford tailgate you don't hear any click.
it was not locked. The tail gate was pinching the right upper bedside and causing a striker misalignment.
@@Hiringsoon but you still would of heard a click if it was unlocked
Yes
Yes I saw
You need some flex in the bed, keeps the frame from cracking under stress
That’s what suspension is for. The bed isn’t supposed to flex.
@@andrewmclamb6984 I didn't realise, but you are in every comment defending chevy- for what? Its painfully obvious how staged and fake this is.
Also, suspension on both trucks has its limits. Once the chevy's suspension gets bottomed out- ting! The frame goes bye-bye. The Ford won't have that problem because excess energy is channeled into the bed.
And even if the bed gets damaged, it's a hell of a lot cheaper to replace a bed than an entire frame.
Isnt GM moving away from steel frames too and putting 4cyl turbo engines? 80s truck fan
Lol my family’s has owned chevy’s before and first they literally broke down a lot and the tail gate broke within the first year
@Steph Chacon family owned fords and they all broke down, switched to chevy, so me and this guy have the opposite experience lol
Pointless anecdote.
It's good that the frame bends though... Just means it'll be harder to break.
I’m sure these are some real life experiences 😂
only thing this videos tells me is how much EASIER it would be to snap a chevy frame. no give. that flex is there for a reason, look at a semi truck when its taking off from a red light.
Just because it takes more weight to make it flex doesn't mean it flexes less.
tcv4 if you threw anymore weight on the chevy it wont just flex, it will permanently bend if not develop stress cracks.
flexing metal snaps eventually , unless its spring steel. frames arent made of spring steel leaf springs are
you think they're using mild steel frames? these trucks are engineered this way for a reason.
Actually that's how you screw your frame bro,lots of flex is bad,fords are good trucks just not a strong as a Chevrolet I know I've owned many of both all from the 70s
2:51 look how uneven it already is if you follow the body lines the truck is completely straight on the body line
Thats because the front left tire was up on the ramp.
i noticed that aswell
its so fake

i can see how it would afffect it if you were working on a construction site with uneven ground but it must be really uneven for the bed not to open

even going through just small ditches puts your truck in that position and I take my 2011 Silverado on them on a daily basis and the tailgate hasn't broke yet. so therefore Ford is complete trash
I own 8 trucks. 4 Fords, 1 Dodge Ram, 1 Silverado HD(one used in this video) and a toyota tacoma. When you see the undercarriage on the Chevy in this video you see reinforcement struts. The Chevy (LTZ package) that I have does not have those reinforcement struts. I think that they reinforced it for the video. Although all car companies are at fault for this jackassery ford and dodge is still better.

Im a chevy guy all the way, but have personally seen and driven both trucks in similar situations, and have NOT seen a ford perform that badly, let alone crease the endgate. Somthing must be rigged here. They are both quality trucks, and in real situations neither will have a problem like this.
It is very seldon you would ever flex this hard unless you are either trying to demonstrate flex or are rock crawling. I can see this happening under extreme circumstances. Most trucks that crawl make some nasty noises in the chassis as they flex. Just watch any rock crawling video on youtube.

Andrew M the ford tailgate is supposed to flex like that. Take it off the ramp and it returns to normal.
Frames flex, when they don't, they crack, keep doing it and you will see stress cracks in that Chevy frame, this was found out years ago!
My dad has an f-150 and he drove into a ditch just to see if it would twist not a thing was wrong with it and the flex was unreal
F250 Super Doodie in Turd Brown color. Coincidence? I think not.
I do find that a bit funny now that you mention it 😂
They loosen the heck out of the bolts on the ford
Chevy wouldn't do something like that!! By the way did you see the tool box test they didn't drop the tool box at the same angle on the Chevy.
The ford is just junk compared too Chevy..... I know had plenty of ford trucks because there much cheaper....
@@donaldkinder6716 that is a lie. Chevy trucks are cheaper quality because they still use steel. Ford uses military grade aluminum that is twice as strong as Chevy's steel body and it doesn't rust out as quick as garbage ass GM trucks. I bet you havent onwed a single Ford pickup in you're life because if you did, you would be saying the exact opposite as what you're saying now 😂
@@ThenotMrNiceGuy0109 i owned 12 ford trucks in my life ford has the worst front ends in the business, never had a ford engine hold up like a Chevy got a Chevy truck right now with well over 2 hundred thousand miles, still all original? Chevy trucks hold alot better resale value?
@@donaldkinder6716 so how the crap mpg doing for yeah
1: Video is very biased.
2: who buys these trucks and mainly off-road these trucks? They are mainly used for towing.
3: over the years.. Chevy is slowly switching over to aluminum. Just check out the 2019 Silverado trucks
Trucks are unnecessary for most people. Waste
@@LemkeR No, they are very necessary for me... to waste gas mileage! I rather spend 5000$ in gas a year than end up a cripple from some idiot texting and driving.
Larry Mepentu trucks have become more Family/business friendly over the years. One day you can be doing hotshot deliveries.. The other take your family out on a road trip knowing that it’s much safer than a small compact car. Not saying that I don’t like my Corolla but I do love my truck.
@@christianfoster8400 actually small cars are usually safer. It's psychological when we think a larger vehicle is safer. I feel safer in my smartcar than my Charger or 2500 Cummins. And crash testing proves my feeling.
Can you do it aging but with a Dodge
???WHAT???
They literally just proved that the Ford has better suspension characteristics, and act like it’s a negative. The flexible frame allows for the wheels to have better contact with uneven surfaces, as well as a softer ride quality that’s more merciful on your cargo. But if you’re unfortunate enough to get your truck into this almost impossible situation, the least of your worries should be if your tailgate opens. lol
