You don’t have any responsibilty to search anything out. If you find yourself on any of the auto sites or youtube videos just read through the comments. Or don’t.

We couldn't get the front door open on our last F150 if it were parked on a slope. Those trucks are floppy as hell.


Sorry you’re a puss maybe the Ridgeline is more your speed.

That side folding tailgate is perfect for those without the body strength to open a door whilst on a hill

If you see a ford f350 and dodge 3500 on a camber torture test, it can happen.

I don't think it happened on a slope though

It happened easily if you parked one of the front tires on a curb. That door would then not open.

This reminds me of when ford added the step on their tailgates. Chevy made commercials trying to make fun of them. Then you started seeing them make their own steps

1) Stop parking like an Asian woman.

2) Hit the gym so you can open the door on your truck.

3) Stop making up bullshite and posting it on the internet.

Why not just expect a major manufacturer to make truck that doesn't bend like a slinky?

I don't think you understand that some flexibility increases strength.

Ever watch an unloaded semi run through the gears?
