Beings I'm looking for a preowned one, what year was that added? Is a repaired bent frame pretty obvious?

To answer you question, its yes and no. The 13' and 14' models, Ford did reinforce the rear frame more than the previous years. To say that solved all problems would not be accurate because if you over drive you truck, you will bend ANY frame.

What the aftermarket brought to market was the bumpstop kit. It braces between the rear frame and uses shocks to dampen the force the axle has when it come close to the frame. Without it, Ford just has two rubber foam pads on the underside of the frame. You hit that too hard, you can bend your frame (even if a 13' or 14'). Install a bumpstop kit, not so much.

Do some of your own research. There is TONS of stuff just on FRF about it. Your question really is old news.

5+ years old, to be exact.

And, to the OP: Unfortunately, most Raptors haven't really done any real off-roading. It really won't be hard to find a street queen.

There never was a "bent frame problem." There was an owner problem that probably won't be resolved.

Regardless, the G2 has a different frame than the regular F150.

There's video floating around where 14 Vegas guys took their trucks and all but four got their frames bent offroading.

Like we have been telling you, its OLD news. Do some of your own research. What part of telling you in my first response was not helpful?
