Looking online at the F150's and found this website. Hard to believe that a mini cooper has a better crash rating. I still can't believe it. I'm glad they improved.

anyone with any collision experiences with their trucks??.

 

For the millionth time that is for the older body style trucks. We have a five-star crash rating now.

 

i think (hope) he knows that - quote- "im glad they improved" but still...that was a while ago..more of a GD topic...

 

Not intended to start any slamming. Just curious about anyone with positive experiences after a collision. Good stories of deer or trees and such. Damage reports and/ or how the truck held up after a rough off road experience. I realize that they are rated MUCH better now, but not EVERYONE has a new F150 either. Also, I have not seen the threads regarding this PAST issue before. Thanks

 

yea- there have been a few people who have wrecked trucks...all of which got the better end of the unfortunate event...

 

dont forget, that is against a wall, run them into each other and see who ends up on top, literally.

 

You're such a sweetheart.

 

Yea,,,exactly. That is based on a car its size not it against a f150.

 

I got in a big accident w/ my 00' F-150 and walked away. If that has a worse crash rating then my new truck... then I feel pretty good about how safe the new F-150s are.

 

The 99 F150 I have (which was my friends) was rolled... It held up well and I still have it.





Here it is all fixed back. (my father and I did all the work)

 

Thanks for the pics INTEL486 and 04 RED LARIAT. I travel with my family nationwide and I tow another vehicle, I've come close to hitting a couple of deer and I have had close calls with many crazy drivers in many different states from Baltimore, Maryland to Sacramento California and Back home in Texas. I'm glad to hear that you have been protected and safe in your collisions and with your experiences. Although your loss is irreparable
the loyalty to your truck is what has kept FORD in business. Pictures like these are proof that although consumer reports and other companies may have their negative OPINIONS about a particular vehicle, I feel the owner experience is the most satisfying and the owner reviews are the MOST important. We live with these vehicles. We should be confident. And although nothing is always guaranteed 100%, our odds are greater. Thanks.

 

I hit a tree with my Ranger and the driver's side airbag DIDN'T deploy! It's ok, they totalled the Ranger and I used the insurance cast to buy the F150!

 

nice job

 

I rolled my 2002 down a sand dune (2 full barrel rolls) and only managed to dent the back part of my left rear wheel well (which was fixed with a heavy duty wrench) and screwed up the paint job on the driver side door near the bottom.

Not to mention, I have also tacoed a car (I hit them doing almost 35 mph) and it survived just fine - my truck looked nothing like that one in the crash test pic and I am still driving it today.

 

Here is a few more of the ol 99 after fixing it back.










P.S. I know this does not belong in this forum RP......sorry.
