New frame vs sectioning.
I saw this at my local Ford house. Online search says it’s a front frame section for a 2016 F150. I guess this answers my curiosity of reports of frame sectioning as opposed to complete frames.

I had the rear section on my truck frame replaced after I was rear ended. I was pretty skeptical as typical thinking is bent frame, totaled truck but the repair shop walked me through it and it looks like its an intentional design to address frame damage.
I trust Fords design choices but I don't trust the repair shop so much, I have the service guys check the welds at each oil change to be sure it's holding up.
