First of all, that crash wasn't from the car not being strong enough, it's from the wheels being too skinny causing the rear wheels to sway and there was probably quite a bit off wind in play. Thus is why there is duallys. The wider stance stabilizes the swaying. I've had this happen to me personally in a Dodge 2500 showing that it wasn't because of the car being unfit. They also make trailer sway bars to remedy that. This why I'm putting 14+ inch wheels on it, to act as a super wide (which if you don't know is basically a dually wheel but made until 1 solid wheel). Secondly, yes I have had to stop suddenly with a 15k lbs trailer and it bent the frame. This was in a 3/4 ton Chevy Suburban. If you hit the brakes hard enough in anything you'll fuck shit up but I will strengthen it to make it better. Also I'm going to upgrade the brakes as well.
