you put in a bigger bed and customers will try to load it up and bend the unibody frame. you overload your ladder frame pickup and you might damage the bed or the tires but aren't likely to render the entire vehicle unsafe.
ladder frame is capable of supporting much more weight than any unibody due to the design that separates load bearing concerns from body concerns.
Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation
