Or poor design - the rest of the vehicle looks too intact for the alleged forces involved to do that.

No. Where's all the dirt/mud/grass? Washed it after he rolled it, did he? The dork crashed on the road, apparently. See the comments after the initial verbage. Unless you consider 'on-road' offroading to be sane useage....

Big deal. It's just another F150 (and a f'ugly one at that) that happens to have some factory-sourced aftermarket bits and some bling. Woo-hoo.

Sounds like a hint of jealousy to me, we all know it's an F150, it just so happens they posted it as being the 'First' one of it's model. That's why.

hmmm "ft worth texas, and the truck is covered in snow, must have happened last week. Prolly thought their 4wd was impervious to ice.



with a shock that is that bent, it was a sheering force that took off the front suspension, like say a ditch, or low wall, or high curb at about 60, then upside down, or tipped into the ditch. The rest of the truck hood and bed is pretty clean for a complete roll over

My guess is an idiot was showing off in it and he/she paid the price.
