In the world of cars, the phrase "that'll do" is bandied around a fair amount. You step back from tech screwing the bumper back on to your rot-box MX-5, that'll do. You've just welded together a roll cage that has all the integrity of a politician? That'll do. You fit an oversized camper to the back of your pick up truck that is so heavy it's bowing the rig in half? That'll do. It is a brilliant cure-all phrase for the half-hearted and easily bored and my word does it provide some laughable results.
You just feel so sorry for that poor Ford.
I mean, just look at that! What back-woods yokel stepped back from that, hands on hips, looked at that and thought "ah a job well done there". HOW! This rig is apparently seen regularly around Florida (well now it makes sense), where the Ford F150 King Ranch just lumbers on like an automotive hunchback of Notre Dame. I'm wondering where on earth that ratchet strap goes to under the cab? So many questions, so few answers. Have you seen worse? What's the most terrible loading you've ever seen, let me know in the comments.

I don't get it. Looks fine to me.
He's parked, why doesn't he immediately put down the jacks. It has nice motorized jacks so would only take a few minutes and will at least help minimize the damage to the frame. Then leave it parked and take the bus or uber everywhere.
Remember, children: this is why you must pay close attention to the rated numbers on your truck. Because if you don't, THIS (among other things) will happen to you.
That truck frame looks...broken...yikes.
As long as the owner pulled on the ratchet straps and said "that's not going anywhere", it is fine
