I think it's a C3.5 at best if you only count the parts that are still attached.

Having rebuilt a C6, can confirm this would likely happen at pretty much any speed impact. It's just plastic and SMC glued to a steel frame.

Donk's unmodified incomplete gvr is 8800 with a curb weight of 7140. It's more useless than a modern aluminum F150 + max tow/payload package. Two or three days ago I saw a tundra hauling a 30ish foot long twin axle 5th wheel. In the motherfucking mountains.

I may or may not have slightly ruined a work van by putting a ton and a half of concrete bags near the doors because I was too lazy to move them further into the van where the weight is supposed to be I mean, the doors still closed fine, so it can't have bent that bad...

I was building a base for a backyard shed, and took my colorado to the quarry for a bed's worth of graded aggregate base. The operator happily obliged. Later on, after repeatedly tagging my bumper on the street at the incline of my driveway, I looked below and I found my leaf springs were shaped like lazy W's.

This was one reason I was happy that the place by us would just bring a truck and raise the bed to dump gravel when we got new gravel for the drive way. Absolutely terrified I'd gently caress my dad's truck bed up.

Trucks need payload visualization instead of numbers. "This is how high you can pile bricks/gravel on the bed and stay within limits."

The newer F-150s actually have optional scales built into the bed. Lights in one of the taillights will light up as you load the bed more and more. https://www.ford.com/support/vehicle/f150/2021/how-to-videos/video-library/more-vehicle-topics/6268513486001?name=using-your-onboard-scales/

This is why I buy Jeep Comanches, the leafs call it quits WAY before the unibody. I've had a 3/4 yard of roadbase (3/4 minus) gravel in mine, about 2100lb, even back when it had 1400lb capacity springs in it. It would be on the bump stops all the way home but zero chassis flex. Now that I have metric ton capacity springs in it I can do the same thing while towing a trailer with another half yard in it and it doesn't even hit the bumpstops. Body gaps still perfectly straight. When I put 2400lb worth of engines in it for a trip to Maine last summer it basically just leveled it out. Not bad for a quarter ton sized 80s unibody pickup.

I think I've watched too much "just rolled into the shop" content. All I can think of is that calm voice saying, "customer came in for an oil change, but did not mention any of the rust or other mechanical problems. The shop refused to do any work on the vehicle and the owner drove it away, fuel barrels and all" https://i.imgur.com/kML0z8U.mp4 It's seriously impressive that a vehicle in that condition still runs well enough to carry a payload over any distance. I wouldn't have any exposed skin anywhere near that that bare metal and I think that a sharp turn would be enough stress to tear the truck in half, but it is functional and apparently reliable enough to be driven as a regular work vehicle E: the operation of the truck is intimidating, but the driver and crew are cool as cucumbers https://i.imgur.com/6JBNb3e.mp4 The Door Frame fucked around with this message at 16:35 on May 5, 2023 |
