2 Rear tires for sale.

Glad you are ok.

Are you going to try and get another F-150?

Yeah and the spare. The rear axle looked good too.

Not sure what I am going to do next...

At least they're taking care of you, GL with new truck!
This is all I could think of while reading your post...

Glad you are OK, was the other people involved injured?

Check out the front ties, they look like they belong on a 40's hotrod lol. The body melting is interesting, aluminum's melting point is 1218 F and steel's is 2500 F, not that it matters unless you're unconscious in the cab

Dibs on your sync 3 screen 😜

All kidding aside that is craazy!! Glad you are ok and I'm sure insurance will make this right. 2 months old I can't imagine them giving you any less for it.

On the plus side at least you won't have to start a new "insurance wants to replace frame, is it a good idea?" Threads!

You know what, I bet it was a 3.5eb hater (5.0 owner) who did it.
