What's worse for these owners is that some Ford dealers are refusing to repair this damage. Ford dealers have alleged that these frames were bent as a result of vehicle abuse, and therefore not covered under warranty.
The irony here is that Ford's Raptor marketing videos show vehicles being driven in an "abusive" manner, and Ford's marketing of the Raptor leads the public to believe that the truck is very tough and built for off-road use.
