Well do to some unfortunate events I lost my Ranger. Sunday I decided to go out on a trail and on the way back home I ended up running into a cow(yep, I killed Bessie).

With the damage to the front end I am certain she is totaled....... Lets face it, we have seen Rangers with less damage get totaled.....

The weirdest thing that gets me is with all that damage none of the Airbags went off!! To say the least i already got ahold of Ford to let them know!! Who knows what will become of that...

What is my plan? Well as much as I would love for you guys to just pitch in and buy me another Ranger(I have a better chance of winning the lottery) I am most likely going to find a cheap truck(yes they still exist) and get some much needed debt paid off until I can get myself another Ranger(probably the new body coming up).

Will I be leaving the Forum? I dont think so as I still find it nice to be able to give others helpful information.

Well there you have it folks!!

it just needs some spit and polish... Dude, I know how you feel right now. My wife borrowed my truck to go on a trip for a funeral and she wrecked my truck. it took about 6 weeks to get it back.

maybe your insurance company will total it, but good luck finding a replacement now days.

Open Range sir... A bullshit thing if you ask me but it does exist in Colorado and other states as well

Hi Chris,

Sad....how fast were you going...real puzzling that the air bags did not delpoy unless the speeds were low but how would a cow do this amount of damage... Yes they are solid but.....

Best,
Phil
