This hurts... hit just 2 months into ownership

[StephenK_I]

This literally just happened today after work. The other driver was taking a left as I was turning right onto the same street at a 4 way traffic light. Literally just got this truck exactly 2 months ago. Drove my last vehicle for over 8 years never been in an accident with it. I get this truck and just my luck I get in an accident; go figure. Luckily airbags didn’t go off and I can still drive it. Something tells me the bumper and any other Tremor specific replacement parts are going to be hard to find. This kills me

Uhhh! Good thing your ok!

				Uhhh! Good thing your ok! That is very true. We both weren’t going fast thankfully. Doesn’t look like there’s any frame damage but I guess I’ll find out for sure when I go get a quote hopefully in the next few days.

Are drivers actually getting worse? Or is it that Im just so biased for my love for the Maverick that my heart breaks a little more every time I see one of these posts?

Drivers are getting worse. A month ago, there was traffic and a Honda Accord made a 3rd lane in the middle. Hit a coworker of mine and drove off.
just today, at the same intersection, traffic was backed up (construction+bad intersection=idiots) a Honda accord (maybe the same one) drove in the oncoming traffic lane to push it’s way in front of the line of traffic, almost causing 2 accidents.
hmm… maybe it is a Honda driver issue?

Hopefully that is a quick fix. Glad you were otherwise uninjured.

Drivers and what they are driving. So many unsafe vehicles we are forced to share the road with.

Yes it hurts. I hope repairs go fast.

Yesterday unloading a Cat 336 at my place. Having to unload it on the road blocking one lane. One car refuses to stop even after being signaled to do so and almost forces the oncoming car from the other lane into a ditch. We get the middle finger for our efforts so always good to know we were # 1 in their book.

Yes, stupid inconsiderate drivers are getting worse. We are living in the Age of Rage.

I think it’s a little of both, drivers constantly distracted on their phones. I’m happy that I can at least still drive my truck and the damage could’ve been a lot worse. I did a little parts searching earlier and I don’t think tremor specific exterior parts like the bumper cover are going to be as hard to find as I initially thought. I do know that I’m definitely going to get the vehicle repaired by Ford and not a random bodyshop.

I would so not fix that. Let's be honest, we all give vehicles with a bent beak a wide berth. This tells everyone on the road that you are "Havoc" actor in the commercial. You will have the road to yourself.

I have you beat. I had mine for less than 2 weeks and someone badly scratched the passenger side from the rear fender through the front door. No idea who or what did the damage in a parking lot. Honesty is getting to be a thing of the past as well. Cost over $1000.00 to repair. Thank heavens for good insurance, cut my cost to $500.00

That is super frustrating but glad to hear you got it fixed. A couple weeks ago I got a random door ding on my drives side door ended up just paying out of pocket to get the dent fixed. It was 150 bucks but it was driving me nuts. Right now though I’d rather that door ding over the wrecked front end haha.

Cell phones and touch screen "infotament" systems!
