Colorado with bent frame

My "Colorado Enthusiasts" Facebook group is blowing up over the photo below. A guy posted that photo with the caption:

Got to Flagstaff and got out to check on my car after some really rough roads and looks what happened to my ducking piece of shit truck!!!!! Fuck Chevy fuck Chevy fuck Chevy!
Instead of sympathy he got roasted for clearly overloading the tongue weight and then driving off road. Then the meme's started.

And now when someone asks a question like, "What's the best hitch mounted bike rack" you get the answer "Just be sure to mount it properly so you don't bend your frame". Every single question is answered that way.

People are fighting over it (some are defending him), leaving the group, fighting with the moderators, getting banned. It's a mess.

I mostly just can't believe that the frame bent like that. I'd have thought the hitch would break or pull off first. But I guess the back portion is reinforced by the hitch itself so it's the strongest section.
