I did a search through the Ford website for available inventory for a Ranger Lariat Tremor in white. There are a few within 30 miles of me. I have to let the process play out and see what the insurance company says but I think I'll be truck shopping soon.

Had summer Friday today. Ran down the street to Lowes to get a couple tools. On the way back stopping for a red light a box truck didn't see the light quick enough and back ended me.

Glad you're ok. Unfortunately given other her examples like that in the he forum that looks totaled.

I was stopping for the red light and looked in the rear view and though "oh shit, he can't stop". I nailed the gas to try to get out of the way. I think if I was completely stopped I would be in the hospital right now.
glad you're ok

I couldn't do nothing but watch. lady hit me then the car in front of me and I never hit the car in front of me. wrap your head around those physics

Glad to hear you are only sore and hope it doesn't get worse. From the looks of your truck and the others on here that have been totaled you just might be shopping for a new truck.

We help people sell their Rangers in the easiest way possible.

Yikes... Both look pretty bad. Wonder whose insurance deals with this, the drivers personal or the company.

Retired, work is a four letter word.
He was not looking, at traffic, but maybe his phone. Automatically in the wrong so the company insurance should cover it all, including a rental. My wife was hit in the rear by a delivery van, she got a new car out of it, and sore for a few days, hope it turns out the same for you.

I'd say the truck, like other Rangers, took that hit well/did a good job letting you walk away with minor issues, but someone will get bent out of shape because the bed flexed a bit.

Looking at my Ranger and the box truck, there was quite a bit of energy transferred and absorbed. I'm glad that energy didn't all go into me.
