Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

I see mostly Fords in these pictures. I'd guess there are stupid owners overloading poorly-maintained trucks, in all brands.

I have to respectfully disagree with this. For reference, see post #22053.

Loader operator may have been extra cautious about the wood sideboards, so dumped from too high.

I wonder how the Italians handle them, their roads and driving style are more dangerous that our post-Civil War wild west.

In all the Romanic countries (France Spain Portugal Italy) in the city you wont find any 3 year or older car without dents. Even a manager from a French company visited my employer years ago in a dented Peugeot 607. They dont fix it because it gets dented again soon, even an executives car...

When I realized a driver plus three passengers and a few grocery bags would change the weight of the vehicle by a full 50%, it started making sense.

That wont even fit... without force.

Yeah, I saw it. But I'm not going to assume or believe this is the first or worst case of overloading imposed on that poor truck. Any owner or custodian who is going to do that to their truck, is likely a habitual abuser.

But they are quick to charge on a rental and my last several rentals my meticulous pictures saved me from pre existing damage being charged to me.

I wonder how many people have paid for the same dent.

We had a rental car company try to charge us for a broken fog light months after the rental. We contested it with the credit card company, demanded documentation and they gave up.

Not just the South. We converted a VW Crafter chassis cab to 5th wheel tractor. After 3 months the lease company called us, said we overtightened the lamp glass screws, cracked it, now the lamp internals were rotten. We were resposible so they wanted to claim the damage from us. Boss passed the call to the workshop guy who did this vehicle, who said hah, impossible! The light units have a bayonet plug on the back, so we remove them without ever taking the glass off !

All right said the lease company agent "then i'll try it elsewhere"

We see this picture too often with Dodge Ram trucks. Do they really have weak frames or is it just that they get posted more? Or is it that the people who buy them don't know when to stop?

I've seem Fords doing the same thing as well.
