that's pretty sad,you pay $20,000 or more for it and mearly leaning up against it hard, will do about $1000.00 in damage,Kato4moto is right, thinner sheet metal to save weight,But what good is it if you can't even put a tool box on it? In my case, I think I bought my last pickup,I wrecked it last year, since then, the wife and I bought a slightly used 1999 Honda CRV (28,900 mi on it) we love it, seems to go through snow well, is fun to drive,lots of room,easy on gas,and after sending my wife's jeep Cherokee (1996) to the shop and finding out that the netural saftey switch went out,(sometimes it'd start sometimes it would'nt) and would of cost $280.00 for the switch alone, (had the shop bypass it) I'll never own another POS Jeep, if american car manfacturer's want people to buy their stuff, they'd better start making higher quality products period! I know I'll think twice before I buy from the big three again, a year and half ago I would never admitted it, but after driving this honda around for awhile, I hate to say it, but it's a better built vehicle, it's no wonder the big three is losing sales to the japs, people are tired of buying junk, and it's not the fault of the guy on the shop floor, who assembles these things, it's the fault of the guys in the board room, who only want to take a good product, cheapen it up ,and sell it at a higher price than last year's model, and they don't give a damn how they do it, and this is what you get, pickup beds that crumple easily.
