So is it just me, or does the slo-mo commercial of the Frontier's body twisting and flexing look really bad? I mean it looks like the bed is about to break off! To me it just shows poor build quality. It shouldnt be doing that should it? It looked like it was just driving over bolders, not loose gravel !!! If we drove a 2K Max over gravel would it look like that too?

Well I've seem similar truck commercials and the bed did the same thing.. I think it was a chevy commercial.. Like a rock.. hehe. and it was flexing just the same. If think if it didn't flex.. the rear end would bounce all over the place.

Truck beds ALWAYS flex like that. If you consider the fact that it's onlly bolted on to two rails, you can understand why it does that.

yep they gotta flex

otherwise it would be too stiff and bouncing everywhere. Compare it to a bridge, bridges are able to expand and flex because otherwise they'd crack. Ok, bad example lol.

BTW- I love the new commercials for the frontier. The tv spot is great and the print ads are better. "It doesn't roll of the line... it struts" Love it. =)
