Driving home from work the other night, not sure how it happened as I don't really remember it! Knee might have hit the steering wheel, but i went hard left in to the middle concrete barrier at 88kph. Side airbags went off and truck went right across 3 lanes in to the ditch. Lucky I didn't hit anyone else!

Anyways, took some pics, interesting damage but overall I was pretty impressed with how it held up and took care of me

hopefully insurance is able to fix it, you should post again when fixed so we can see how long it took.

I am glad you're alright. I did similar damage to my 2013 FX4 when I rolled it and it was totaled out. Allstate gave me a little more than I paid so that was good for me and I got another truck without losing equity

Glad you made it out safely.

Did you hit a pothole or uneven divot in the road? I hit two within a mile of each other on I-20 going 75mph in Atlanta a few weeks back and it sent me halfway into the left lane just behind the trailer of a big rig twice. Please believe I was puckered for the rest of the highway trip.

Yeah i really dont know how it happened, might have sneezed, who knows! I have no idea how the shifter got bent but yeah it's pretty torqued. Probably just go with another XLT Sport 302, similar spec as i really liked mine
