Wonder if Jay's seen this...

I read about this on another forum. My problem with this is go check out the Raptor SVT web site and you will see the truck driven much like you see in the video, screaming through the desert at high speeds, catching big air etc. So it should come as no surprise to Ford that people are driving their truck as depicted in their sales advertising. It sounds like there is a strength issue with the frame if all the trucks experienced the same failure point. Cudos to the guys who are willing to take their $40,000+ trucks and thrash them as advertised. I can't say I would do treat my truck that way and would LOVE to have one of these things. If you are going to advertise your truck as a desert racing truck don't be surprised when your customers take it out and treat it as advertised. I say examine the issue, fix the problem and stop blaming the customer.

Just my 2 cents.

Yea, unfortunately they fail to read (or see) the fine print.

Can I say what I think about natural selection here...

And why that disclaimer should be unnecessary?...
