[A/S] Truck frames
"I just saw an article on truck frames. They cut the frames . . ."
When's the last time we've seen reports of truck frame failures or
inadequacies being a problem in tow vehicles? Lots of discussion in
A/S forums and truck forums about engines, transmissions, suspension,
shocks, brakes, tires, etc. etc. When a tow vehicle is inadequate to
its task, the primary point of failure isn't the frame. IHMO, there
are many other factors that as a practical matter should take
precedence in selecting a tow vehicle; the frame strength is taken
into account by the vehicle manufacturer when tow ratings are
established.
