My DIL used one of them after a car accident and walked away with over $3 million. They practice and teach you how to act in the trial to get jury pitty
. The law firm walked away with almost as much.Update, it was totaled but they valued it more then I expected to now I am searching for a new truck. Going bigger with F150 or Silverado.Hello fellow Ranger enthusiasts, my 2020 xl stx was slammed into from behind while it was parked and I am wondering if the frame survived the impact. It hasn't been inspected yet but I would loke some opinions so I can be ready for the possibility that I have lost my truck. Parked on a residential street with a speed limit of 35, it was smashed into by a drunk driver in a dodge Charger going maybe 60 to 70 mph. It was pushed about 20 feet from where it was parked. The dodge is a total disaster but when I looked at my truck it looked like a typical read ending that was not as fast as you would think. An officer said he thought the right rear tire looked like it was tilting inward but in the dark I couldn't tell. I didn't drive it to prevent further damage before an adjuster could look at it. The bed did hit the cab but it was not permanently pushed it to it, it still had its normal gap after the impact. All opinions are appreciated and the blunt truth is always respected by me so please speak your thoughts..
Sorry to hear that your truck was totaled. Good luck with your search for a new and bigger truck.
As much as it stinks it's better that they totaled it. Now you don't have to worry about them messing up the repairs and you won't have a CarFax on it when you go to sell it. That devalues your resale value in most cases and you can add a few thousand to what you just received because you would've lost it in the end. Good luck with your next purchase!
OMG - how is that NOT a parody ad?
once its on the carfax dealers will stop sending you junk mail for offers to buy your truck lol that was my experince anyways.
I'd rather have the junk mail than my vehicle devalued.
well i agree; but it is what it isI'd rather have the junk mail than my vehicle devalued.
I didn't realize my dad was the driver of a killing machine for 40 years. His killing machine kept me fed, clothed and sheltered. Does that mean I am the spawn of Death himself? Hahaha. Got a 2017 F150 and got it for a much lower payments and a shorter term then my ranger. Lucked out
Update for anyone interested. Got a 2017 F150 XLT. No 4x4 but its really clean and in great shape. The infotainment system is actually an upgrade with Android Auto that my XL ranger didn't have. Kids love all the space in the back and my son loves the decals. I am not big on the decals so I'll probably be taking them off. So after seeing about 10 different F150s and 10 Silverados I can say I have an ear and eye for things in this department. Felt so many "Chevy Shakes" with their transmission and the "Ford F' me" shifts on the theirs. It was a 4 week adventure where I put about 400 miles on my other car driving to places after work and on the weekends. If you know California you will know what I mean when I say I went from Ventura in the San Fernando Valley all the way down south to San Diego (about 8 miles from the border) in my search.Hello fellow Ranger enthusiasts, my 2020 xl stx was slammed into from behind while it was parked and I am wondering if the frame survived the impact.
