How much force does it take to bend a car frame?
I have a 2010 Raptor. I do a lot of off-roading and I'm worried about the stress I put on my car. How hard would it be to bend the frame?

“It takes a serious amount of force to
bend the frame
of your vehicle, so most people won’t ever have to worry about this problem. However, if you are off-roading at high speeds, there’s a chance you could hit a deep hole that would affect the structural integrity of your truck.
If you’re worried about this, purchase a frame reinforcement kit. Damaging the frame of your car can make it unsafe to drive, so having extra protection is always worth it.
Be sure to follow a routine
maintenance schedule
as well. Your mechanic can identify any issues before they may cause serious problems.Since you use your vehicle for off-roading, check your insurance coverages as well. Having full coverage on your vehicle may help with any repairs if you collide with a tree or damage your truck.
If you’d like help shopping for full coverage insurance, use the

app. Jerry collects quotes from up to 50 top insurance companies in minutes and delivers the best deals to your phone for free.”View full answer
