Boondocker75 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 New to the fourm, we'll kinda. I have been on here looking around and watching scheduling since production started and I entered my order last June or so. Finally got my truck in late January and on March 18th some kids ran a stop sign on a highway and no way I could stop. Good thing is there were no serious injuries.... This thing is built tough. Be careful out there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gharri30 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 So are those running boards for sale then? All kidding aside, that has to be a sickening feeling. Glad all are ok or would be a much worse feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The salvage yard bent the crap out of one side and actually ripped on of them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckDiesel Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Man, my heart hurts for you! Beautiful truck. Thank God that everyone is okay, at the end of the day it's just a truck, there are more important things. I hope their insurance will take care of you and get you square away with something new.

Boondocker75 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Insurance is taken care of and I have a new one on order. It took 7 months to get this one and who knows how long it will take to get another one. Hopefully not another 7 months. Luckily I got my order in a few weeks ago before they closed the order bank down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have your dealer contact the zone rep and see if they’ll make it a priority 1 considering the circumstances, 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thTimer Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Yeah, great the insurance will take care of the money side but now you're out a truck indefinitely. Is the insurance going to cover a rental for that period and can you even find suitable rental? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine having to wait that long only for someone's else's stupidity to take it all away. In the end it's replaceable and a life isn't, so always have to try and see the silver lining. Next one will be bigger and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol And like akirby said. Check with your dealer. Hopefully they will make a order and priority 1 for you due to what happened. I would only hope it would be a possibility for me if something like that happened to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill DaBank Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Heavy duty ranch hand or some other is my plan. Probably wouldn’t have helped the situation with the truck in this case but for other lesser encounters it is useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge deal but not good either. I am more determined then before to get this truck exactly the way I want it. May take some time. 11 hours ago, danielj said: I was going to say glad everyone is ok. How about that tonneau cover? Lol And like akirby said. Check with your dealer.

I kept the Tonneau cover for the next one. My deal has requested to move it up to a higher priority then the 10 I am at now and we have not heard anything back as of yet. Fingers crossed we can get it moved up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was glad it was totaled after seeing the damage. Not sure I would want it back after something that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyFox Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I rolled my 2010 F250 back in January (ice patch, 4x4 H but no traction control or ABS). Stuck the landing on all 4. All I got was 2 small glass cuts on my hands despite landing on the corner of the roof just over my head. Absolute tank of a truck. Got my order in 3 days later for a F350, its in production now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is both trucks were still running after the incident. Hell I could have drove it out of the ditch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard back on getting this pulled up to a higher priority then a 10 and it is a no go. Wish I had a contact to reach out to. My dealer is good, really good and got me taken care of on the last one. Just cant get the support on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he actually checked with the zone rep and they said no then you’re probably stuck. Although you could try tweeting a pic and tagging Mike Levine saying something like can’t believe I’m going to have to wait another 8 months. After praising how well built it was. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had a contact to reach out to. My dealer is good, really good and got me taken care of on the last one. Just cant get the support on this one. At least they tried. I think everyone on here can agree that at the least a priority 2. I ordered mine May 21st and it should arrive any day now. So if that was to happen to me I would hope Ford would have a little forgiveness and up the priority some so I'm not waiting another year for a pickup. I went all of last year without a pickup. Borrowed a 06 single cab long bed F150 2wd with a v6 motor with ZERO options and manual EVERYTHING even windows and locks. Coming from a 05 2500 duramax 4x4. I couldn't tow anything and got nothing done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob R Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Ouch, sorry to hear about the truck. If the other guy had insurance then I would definitely be on them for a rental until your new truck gets built. I can't believe I am going to say this but sometimes lawyering up early in the game can have benefits you may not otherwise get. Hell, you may not even need a lawyer if they have a decent claims adjuster working your case. bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
