In your estimation which new base model truck can handle the biggest jump without taking damage?

>>28803347>In your estimation which new base model truck can handle the biggest jump without taking damage?Reminds me of the Raptor lawsuit where people bent frames from jumping the truck like the commercials.
>>28803347They will all fare about the same. None of them are meant to jump and lack the necessary suspension to do so. Weight difference won’t matter much because even at the lightest, scsb F150, they’re all going to have bad time when they run out of travel and meet the bump stops. They might survive one or two jumps but eventually you’re going to blow out your shocks and start breaking other shit on the truck.
>>28803347A base model midsize will fare better because of the shorter wheelbase and being lighter, albeit not a whole lot lighter. So honestly a base CCSB frontier or some shit would take a jump like that the best, but only once.
>>28803403>They might survive one or two jumps but eventually you’re going to blow out your shocks and start breaking other shit on the truck.My shitbox is actually starting to show signs of structural stress from jumping it all the time. The rear quarter panel on the unibody has a very slight wrinkle that is textbook stress deformation from pushing the chassis too hard. I've already replaced fender liners from ripping them off on impact, but those are easy to swap out.It's not going to stop me from sending it airborne, but I have a pretty good idea where the car will fail first.
>>28803408I saw a range of figures but the frontier looks a little heavier, with the tacoma being the lowest number I saw.
>>28803413You do you my man, but if you have money to throw away on a new vehicle to jump it, you might as well get something older and spend the left over money on a proper suspension setup that can handle being jumped a bit better. Just my .02
>>28803438>you might as well get something older and spend the left over money on a proper suspension setup that can handle being jumped a bit betterCar is over 10 years old. So far, the stock suspension works fine so long as I stuff the springs with coil rubber inserts. It gets the job done and doesn't make the shocks blow out from overtraveling since the rubber absorbs a ton of the blow.For a few bucks, it does the job good enough.
