I wonder if they will even take parts availability into account.Ah, yeah, kind of hard to see that from the pics. But I'm quite interested in hearing what the dealer says mainly because, while I hope I'm wrong, you aren't likely to be the last person to get into a serious accident with their Maverick. It'll be interesting to see if they push to repair (if possible) or if these will just be instanta-writeoffs.
I think it called them.The most important thing is no one was seriously hurt. I've read about the 911 feature, but I was not aware that the Maverick would call emergency contacts too. What does it do send them an email?
Think that could have been an inertia-related event? Or will it not even go back into the cubby due to twisting? Eh, you probably don't have the truck and weren't in the frame of mind to do that kind assessment after the accident.Something else just hit me. The rear cubby in the bed is now literally in the bed. The entire truck is bent.
Un freaking believable!!!!! So glad to hear that you and your daughter are ok. People are selfish morons, that jerk was probably jumping the stop light. Get well quickly and as someone who has PTSD (Vietnam Veteran) please be aware of your 6 year olds delayed emotions and remind her how Daddy will always be there for her. (Edit added: Just realized that you're a Brother in Arms, sorry I missed that. So I know you'll be aware. Blessings to you and your Family from Maine.)Airbags deployed immediately. My 6 year old was slammed into hers. Trucks 911 assist called 911 like it was supposed to. We walked away a little battered but OK. Truck also called the emergency contacts I put in it.
Guy ran the light and slammed us at high speed.
Also, addiction is posting a Tbone review while IN THE ER.......which I did.
But this truck did impress. He hit me so hard he nearly knocked me out of the intersection. I was coming from that road closed sign. The hit swung me 90 degrees and damn near off the road. I was rolling in electric mode maybe 20 mph so I would hit the next light perfectly. He ended up past my truck. It hit so hard the rear door clipped his car as he was passing. And this is a shitbox 90s escort station wagon. Crushed the front end of his car. Radiator fluid and it looked like oil everywhere. I will definitely get another Maverick.
He did jump it, he just ran it running full speed for that road. I hope she does. That moment was the nightmare of my life seeing her hit that door. Damn near broke my hand trying to reach her. What is worse is my wife heard it on the overhead. Can imagine being in her shoes either.Un freaking believable!!!!! So glad to hear that you and your daughter are ok.

I respond to accidents alot and that still hit me real hard damn. Really glad you all as ok as possible. Sucks so bad about your Mav but it did it's job.He did jump it, he just ran it running full speed for that road. I hope she does. That moment was the nightmare of my life seeing her hit that door.

I understand. You and I and other Brothers and Sisters in Arms can take just about anything that happens to us (I spent 5 months in a Navy Hospital in 1972) but when it comes to our children that's so freaking different. Our youngest, when he was 6 months old, had a very high fever and was Hospitalized for four days, I told the staff I wasn't leaving and they brought a roll away bed for me to sleep on. I didn't leave his side till it was time to bring him home. Our oldest son was in a car accident when he was a senior in High School and was in the Hospital for two days. When they said visiting hours were over I "explained" to them that I wasn't leaving, they agreed so I stayed. We are indestructible, but our Children and our emotions aren't. Just remember, when this starts replaying in your head, that you and your Daughter were, thankfully, ok in the end.He did jump it, he just ran it running full speed for that road. I hope she does.
