Crashed into tree so my ranger off to salvage

[MoodyBlue]

Well my “Moody Blue” 2019 Ranger is no more as I damaged right side after I hit a tree - didn't look that major as no frame or front end damage occurred. Insurance advised not economical to repair (89,000Km) so i accepted a payout and local auto auction people picking up today.
Sad i really liked that truck other than eas always worried transmission would fail as i had vibration and rough shifting for over last 2 years ( Ford service tech could find no issue).
… just upgraded tires and wheels to 285/70/17 with Falken Wildpeak plus just made last payment 1 week after accident. 🥲

Sad...reminds me of my youth when I thought doing donuts on a snow-covered parking lot was harmless. Until the hidden curbs ruined the fun...

Sorry to hear about your Ranger but at least you weren't injured. As bad as it is (I know I was sick when I totaled my '19) there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Are you going to replace it with another Ranger or something else this time?

 

[MoodyBlue]

Not sure now that they just took it away i will get serious and start looking whats available for eithee another Ranger or maybe a van

Man that sucks especially right after your last payment and new tires - at least you dodged a bullet on that transmission issue though, sounds like it was gonna be expensive down the road anyway.

such a lovely blue truck too…
You’re in good health so that’s great..
trucks you can replace.
Guess it’s time for a Ranger Raptor now.

No more payments no more anti-anxiety meds worrying about transmission taking a bowel movement on you.

Well, that sucks horribly. Were you able to 'salvage' some of the mods you put on? Like the wheels/tire or topper? Or keep them for your next Ranger?

What topper did you have on there buddy? Sorry about your luck.

Sad to see another Lighting Blue Ranger bight the big one. Could have been a twin to mine. The best color for a 5G.

Sorry to hear about that. Pretty low mileage too.

Yes I thought it was, we have them over here too, seem like good canopies, my only criticism is black is not such a good colour in Northern Australia unless the contents are heat resistant.

That's a good point, but weren't they developed in South Africa? Surely they'll have taken the heat into consideration, no?
