Hit and run (but I'm not mad)
Came out to my 2012 xlt the other day and saw that my westin bull bar was pressed right up tight against my truck. Clearly someone hit it pretty hard; probably while backing up.
No damage to my truck, I just have to re-adjust the bull bar, it just shifted, didn't bend. Hopefully the bumper of whoever hit me and left is mangled and has damaged paint
The good news: This truck is leased by my company, but given to me as part of my salary package. My boss made a slight comment the other day when he saw I put the bull bar on it (at the company's expense). Now I can easily justify this purchase since it saved the front end of my truck from a hit and run. Basically more than paid itself off.

Dude its like Mexico City nowadays. Within 2 weeks of getting my new truck I had 3 scratches or dings in the doors just from parking at my apartment complex. I think we need HE/reactive armor

Apartment complexes are the WORST places to get dings/scratches/dents on your new ride. And generally the allocated space between the white lines aren't big enough for a big ole F150. when I used to shut my door, i could see the whole door panel on the exterior flex. Doesn't take much to dent!

Someone bumped my truck last week in a shopping mall parking lot....didn't eve leave a note on my windshield. Left a nice dent under the right tail light at the corner. I have only had the truck for about one month and only have about 1500 km (less than 950 miles) on it Not very happy as you can imagine. I buffed the white paint that was transferred onto mine, but there is some paint that got scraped off. I'm hoping to get the dent pulled/pushed out by Dent King or some other company that does that kind of thing.
