Two words: Rust Belt. The frame rots out so bad that hooking up a trailer makes it fold in half.
Same as Nissan Navaras. I noticed there are chassis repair kits on fleabay
Notice that it’s at a gas station, probably just the dry heaves.

Winner, winner! Chicken dinner.
Rust never sleeps nor takes a vacation, unlike the driver’s brain…
You take a lot of vacations don’t you? Sometimes not even leaving the house….
Why traavel? Especially with gas prices today!
The guy that lives across the street had a 99 Toyota T100 that did that a few years back. He rarely drove it but he would wash it every month and wax it twice a year. The frame rusted through. The underside of the truck looked like he had been driving it on a beach as it was eat up with rust.
Yes. Yes, they do.
We used to see that a lot in Western Illinois when a farmer would install one of the carriers for the Big Round Bales of hay that fit on the ass-end of the pick-up.
There just wasn’t enough iron in the frame to handle the load.
It happens. But only when the truck identifies as a dodge or chevrolet.
I’ve seen it before, but not with a trailer. Usually it is a result of frame rot and ramming a snow bank with the plow. Not a uniquely Ford problem. Toyotas, on the other hand would break in half, just sitting in the driveway.
The Super Duty, at The Farm, routinely hauls a 740 JD skidder. That tips in at over 28k pounds. Try that with a Lightning. You wouldn’t get to the end of the driveway with it.

T100’s saw so many on the road that’s why I considered Toyota for my next truck not a chevy. Glad I bought one but now I got to do rust inspection.
