By the time he did it was too late. I tried to move out of the way once I realized he was going to hit me. These Rangers are quick, but not that quick.
Glad you are okay. My coworker was hit from behind while stopped at a red light & both of her rotator cuffs were torn. It took awhile for them to diagnose it. They just put it down to soreness from the accident. Keep a check on yourself.

So sorry about your Ranger.

It's one of life's mysteries. It's also why I run with a trailer hitch sticking out 11" on my truck everywhere I go now. I'm gonna rip out their radiator and cooler if it happens again so they can't drive off if they have insurance. It's actually surprising how much more room I have now at stoplights.

all the talk about accidents always reminds me of copart, and then I go browse there.
I guess its not always people liking to hit a ranger, it seems trees get in on the action too.

Of course they would be seeing as it's the most popular color in the US. :rolleyes:

I wish I knew the answer to this question.... My truck got a fender bender last week but it was a hit-and-run, while the ranger was parked on the street overnight in front of my house.

The train may have done it on purpose.
The Aussie you tubers I watch seem seem to have the same opinion of Ranger drivers that many Americans have of BMW drivers.
Sadly there is some truth in that. Not a lot of love for BMW drivers either, although I do tend to feel sorry for them once they're out of warranty.

Interesting stats but they might be biased a bit, when did you last see a green or brown colour option even offered to purchase. The only ones I can think of here are lime green on Jeep Wranglers and Suzuki Jimmneys. Orange used to be available here on Rangers but only on the XL base model.

The F150 has Kodiak brown and the Bronco and Ranger have Eruption green here.

Nice, I like that green! Ford haven't offered green here for YEARS, only, metallic white, black, blue, light silver, dark silver, grey, - like someone forgot the top coat and let it out in just the primer, and for a while, (solid) orange, (solid)red,

Premium brand German car ownership out of warranty is for masochists.
