Sorry to hear about the truck, but glad to hear that your GF is ok. These trucks are truly built Ford tough.

 

when I first got married, my wife wanted to drive the truck. we drove a mile and that was the last time I let her drive it.

glad to hear everyone is okay.

 

Glad to hear your girlfriend is alright. The truck is steel and glass, it can be replaced. Just think how it would have turned out if she wasn't driving your truck. Another person walks away from a built Ford tough F150!

 

I'm also sorry for your loss. If there is anything positive out of this, it has to be that the 04-06 F150 trucks, that we own, complain about, etc.... time and time again protect the driver from serious harm in accidents. I'm glad your gf is well

 

Did the driver door come open during the roll?

After I thought about my 04 scab and how the doors worked, I often wondered what would happen in a roll over and how the doors would hold up since they had no pillar to latch on.

 

Wow. Just looking at those pics you would think someone was seriously hurt. Glad to hear she's ok.

What's up with all our truck's this year? King's & Thump's (and a few other's I'm forgetting) are wrecked. Mine's stolen. And it's not even the end of January.

Be careful out there fellow Ford drivers.

 

ouch, glad everyone is ok, were not going to have anymore members here if u all keep wrecking

 

Glad she is ok and everything will work out with the truck. Hope you get one as good as your last.

 

Damn these F-150's seem to be dropping like flies lately, I'm glad she was okay though. Good luck on getting your new truck. Everyone drive safely.

 

I'm glad everyone was okay, but ouch that look like it had to have hurt!

 

First off, I'm really glad to hear that she is ok. That is truely a blessing.

Your comment had me thinking though. Yes, when in an accident our F150 trucks have shown they protect the occupents nicely.

HOWEVER, it got me wondering....would the accident have necessarily happened in a different vehicle?

What I'm saying, is would an AWD SUV or car had flipped in that exact scenario she was in if she had lost control in the same manner? Would she of in fact even lost control of the vehicle under the same elements with something like an AWD SUV or car that had traction control?

Do you see what I'm getting at?

I'm not discounting the saftey of our F150 ONCE in an accident, as we've obviously seen them to be safe after the fact. Although, are there features or CHARACTERISTICS of our trucks which lead them to have the accident in the first place when a vehicle with AWD or/and traction control would not have flipped?

I'm just wondering outloud.

Glad everyone's ok!

I see what your getting at and I think that even if an SUV had lost control the same result might have happened since they are also fairly high although I haven't seen the area where the accident took place but I'm assuming that the only vehicle which would be safe would be any car pretty much since they are lower to ground making it safer around turns. Since he stated that the truck just rolled over on its side and it didnt roll continuously I think an SUV would have had the same effect since his truck was not lifted so the safest vehicle is a car in that situation in my opinion. Let's see what everyone else thinks......

AND AGAIN EVERYONE DRIVE SAFELY

 

Had my wife and I been in a car for the accident we just had I am sure I would be typing this from the hospital!

 

Glad she is ok and too bad about your truck the bright side is your now closer with your fiance and you get a new truck.

 

Glad she is ok, good luck with a new truck.
