All the stories of bent frames I've read about were people that were abusing the truck if you ask me. Too many people believe that these things are indestructible and that's how they destroy them. Most people reasonable people that own these realize that they are just a really nice truck and not a Baja truck. I also believe that the Toyota wouldn't hold up any better under the same abuse ,and for me it isn't nearly as nice. Besides with the Toyota, you have to worry more about the frame rusting out early before worrying about bending it.

If you do you're homework you'll see that they are much more than an F150 with Fox shocks too. It isn't like the Baja Toyota is a truck of it's own. It's also just a Tacoma which is a very outdated design and not nearly as nice as the current F150.
