I agree that reflective tape won't stop everyone, but did you see the post I did on this thread on January 25? There's a lot of benefits to having the reflective tape

I ended up ordering two packs of the magnetic strips (which I put on the tailgate, but may move two of them around) and put the reflective tape with the 3m glue on the corner of the bumper. It doesn't look too bad.

I just bought two packs of the magnetic reflective tape. Do you think it's overkill to use the Harbor Freight tape on my bumper and trailer hitch step as well in addition to the magnet on the tailgate and wheelwell? I don't mind the ugliness. Thanks in advance

That's a really smart idea. I think this is what I'm going to do. Two on the tailgate and one on each side near the rear tires

I don't mind having my truck look tacky if it means the chances of getting hit is reduced. Here's an article and an excerpt that talks about the advantages of reflective tape to reduce accidents... https://one.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/regrev/evaluate/809222.html CRASH REDUCTIONS BY LIGHTING...

I put some white reflective tape in that same gap, but it doesn't really show much.

I agree. I bought something similar from HF. It shows in the picture of my Maverick

I agree that is may not help much, but I read an article that mentioned certain statistics...

Yep. I don't mind spending a few dollars if it increases the chances to avoid another collision...

I was looking for ideas to add visibility tape on the tailgate. Not so much the letters, but just a strip of reflective tape. Red and white? Yellow? Orientation? Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful. https://www.harborfreight.com/10-piece-reflective-tape-97562.html

I was able to pick up my Ford Maverick today. It looks like the accident never happened. I just have to go to Line-X tomorrow to get the tailgate sprayed. I had white reflective tape on my tailgate. Do you think the red/white tape would make a difference? Any thoughts or ideas on the...

My insurance said they would make a claim against the owner of the truck. Yeah, I'll be getting a rental on Wednesday because I don't need one right now

https://www.harborfreight.com/hitch-extender-with-step-97685.html I read somewhere where some guy put this on the back of their truck and it stopped a lot of damage to their truck and the step took most of the damage. It's also nice because it acts like a pointer in the back up camera when I'm...

Auto repair guy came by and picked up the truck. Hopefully I'll find out what the damage costs and will let you guys know

The front end damage is from the other driver's Tacoma where he hit my car

No, I saw the Toyota still driving around the corner, pulled over, got out, and walked away. I was watching his truck while I was waiting for the police to arrive, but he never came. Yeah, I think he was a drunk driver, Saturday night with a few beers in the cab of the truck.

Last night, I heard a screeching noise and a crash. My Maverick's car alarm went off and I ran outside to see a white Toyota Tacoma driving around the corner. The driver parked the car and ran off. Found beer bottles inside the cab of his truck. I called the police, they took a report and...

I think I'm going to buy one of these.
