The same as the one that hit the OP in this thread... late for work and rushing so probably distracted by trying to multitask behind the wheel of a several thousand pound battering ram.

I'm always late, no matter how late I just take my time. You can't make up time that's already passed

Did the Mavs auto emergency call work after collision? Was it turned on?

Couldn't have put it better.

Yeah I’m not to sure the exact speed, 70 is what he said to the cops and wrote on the report for what he was going, I’m sure with the braking he was probably slower, I do know that there was no time to react and I didn’t see him until I was being helped out of the truck

He told the police he was going 70?

You're busted up a little but thankfully you are okay. When you feeling better you might consider upgrading to a Ranger if you can afford to do so. I own both vehicles and favoring the Ranger a little bit more over the Maverick Tremor and I definitely don't want to put them through the test that you just experienced. Although you didn't order that test.

It’s with a heavy heart I’m posting that my Maverick is totaled.

I was t-boned yesterday on the way home from work by a guy going 70 that ran a red light, he struck my front driver fender and door.

Thank god this little truck is the perfect height and very safe or I wouldn’t have walked away with only a few bruises.

Could’ve been a lot worse and I’m thanking god and Fords safety features in the Maverick that I’m still here.

Please get your neck checked out by a Chiropractor. Your issues will show up in a few weeks. Speaking from family experience.

Glad you were able to walk away from that. Sucks that you are truckless now.

Will,
For insurance reasons. You may want to have a D.O. "Osteopath" check you out, rather than a chiropractor.
In the legal world, chiropractors do not have a stellar reputation.

I has a similar experience last week, but he made a left turn in front of me and I t-boned him.

Thank God you're okay and that's the most important thing. Looking at the car that hit yours damage, I'm surprised the Mav doesn't look much worse. My wife was rearended in her Hyundai Elantra by a drunk driver doing close to 100mph (according to CHP report) and it bent her car at the sunroof, pushing the rear bumper almost to the back seat. Point being that her Elantra and your Maverick gave their lives to save the occupants. Can't ask for more safety wise from a vehicle.

Glad you are not hurt that bad and really the Maverick doesn't look that bad, even though it is considred totaled.............but shi*******look at that other car!!!!

I don’t believe all the nonsense going on in this thread. Mavericks only get rear-ended.

Zero chance he was going 70 when he hit you. Wishing you a swift recovery.
