I've been reading some stories about Chevy Colorado and Jeep Gladiator owners getting bent frames while off-roading and while towing camping trailers. I have not yet heard of any issues with frames bending on Ford Rangers but I'm curious if anyone knows of, or has heard of issues with the Ranger frames? I have not done any heavy off-roading yet and hope our Ranger frames are sturdier than these other brands.

I’ve heard and seen some issues with the Tacoma’s frame but solid motor. As said above I’m sure the Rangers have a good frame.
