IT WAS GREAT WHILE IT LASTED. RIP XLT

[SSchnauzer]

No license, no insurance, no idea who owns the vehicle the operator of the striking vehicle was operating, and not a spoken word of English...

Blew through a steady read signal after it was red for approximately 10 seconds (verified by my dash cam) and had the balls to tell my insurance he had a yellow light. Quickly refuted with video. Waited almost 1.5 years for the truck and now this...Uggggggggh. Got banged up pretty good too but no hospital.

So sorry to hear this but I am glad that you are not seriously hurt. Nice work having a dash cam too, smart move. Feel better soon.

Thank you. Will order a 2024 when orders open.

And they will be back on the road tomorrow...

Sorry for your loss OP. Hopefully you can get a new one. It would be so cool if FORD implemented a sort of priority for stuff like this, but that'll never happen.

Buy your truck back and keep it for a spare for parts for your 2024!

That’s what I fear. Had that happened to me with a previous car, got rear ended ten days after buying it (and $9k in parts and labor, and a few weeks with a crappy Chevy Malibu rental). I was nervous AF driving home my new Mav from the dealer yesterday.

Glad there were no serious injuries and I hope you can find a replacement Mav soon.

Sorry, OP. That blows. Glad you sustained only minor injuries. I’ve noticed an increase in aggressive drivers in Florida lately. Almost struck twice recently by people cutting us off and driving into our lane doing 90mph. Many drivers out there have no license or suspended and no insurance. It’s why car insurance is through the roof for even safe drivers.

Thanks for the concern. Dealer said nothing comparable available except Rangers...which are nice but more truck than I need, been there and done that. So, probably back to a new Subaru Outback that is available and then sell that when new Maverick comes in...Just soooo pissed at the circumstances. My advice, look THREE times and get a dash cam.

If it's only temporary, the Escapes/Bronco's use the same platform - that would at least get you something "familiar" assuming you can even get one of those. No bed either, so not sure if that's something you can live without temporarily.

Honestly, I'd buy something cheap then place another order - or browse Edmunds (CarMax) for something used with basically zero mileage.

Glad you are OK.
