Accidents suck, but it sounds like the engineers at Ford did their homework!

5 star crash rating when I drive my Ford, Alpinestars crash rating when I ride my motorcycle...

Glad you guys came out alright

It could've been alot worse being hit at that speed if you were driving anything else.

BUILT FORD TOUGH

the truck doesn't look at bad not as nearly as bad as the pictures above, my frame does tho lol. the rear frame took a good amount of the damage and my truck bed sits a good couple feet lower than where it used to. front end had bumper damage since the honda truck sits lower than me. Somewhere there is a picture of my hitch in her frame

For the rear my hitch is pressing into the spare tire and the gap between the spare tire and axle is closed up.

more as we move through on this

Have no idea on the lady that hit us haven't seen her since i left the hospital

we are also lucky she was in a small low to the ground sedan that hit the bumper/ went under me

WOW, that sounds like a hard hit. Hopefully not but those are the type of hits that stay with you for the rest of your life. Glad you two are o.k. and hopefully the broad that hit you is alright too.
