Fix it again Tony.....

I have seen older Ford trucks broken like that. Mostly farm/ranch trucks with bale spears on them. One of the pictures I saw of the frame there is a plate welded right in front of the failure point. Looks like they were breaking right at the edge of the heat affected zones. Screw paying the dealer $17k to fix that. A competent fab shop could fix that to where it will not be an issue for significantly less. The load distribution is not ideal, yeah it's over weight. Safety margin is not there. If the tail weight was really that high it would have been a white knuckle ass puckering drive. Especially on Mexican roads.

Correct. Heat affected zones. But nobody considered that I bet and did something close to a full vertical weld.
