Truck Frames Breaking In Half.

I saw this in my FB feed yesterday, pretty crazy this is happening. Obviously several different brands here and causes.

A link talking about that Colorado, Says it was towing a 3000lb trailer off road. Sure doesnt look like 3000lbs to me  :dunno:

"...Last year, the Chevy Colorado ZR2 incident reported driving at about 40 MPH over a desert trail with an overland camping trailer that weighed about 3,000 lbs.

This week the incident involved a modified Gladiator pickup truck that reportedly had after-market longer travel shocks (according to CORE Off-Road). The truck also had aftermarket wheels and tires among other modifications. This truck was reportedly towing a trailer weighing about 2,000 lbs.

Although, these trailer weights are not super heavy, never underestimate the power of leverage. When hitting the whoops and other off-road obstacles, the trailer’s tongue weight can be multiplied by the leverage...

Theres a homeless couple living in a too big for the truck camper on an old squarebody chevy in the Winco parking lot in Richland. I'm waiting for it to snap in half or slide out the back when it leaves the parking lot.

Dude, I would come unhinged!
My interpretation of the rules are open to interpretation.
Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.

Looks like a break at a weld line in one of the pics.
Welds can strengthen or weaken metal.

It was one of those fancy robot welders.
No way that could fail. :chuckle:
