"built Ford Tough"
So, Sunday afternoon, my girlfriend, her friends, and i decided to go out into the farmlands in Miami, and do a little bit of offroading. for those of you that may ever have your doubts about "built ford tough" being the truth, or just a slogan, well, here it is, it is definitely the truth! i was going down a very smooth, very well patted down gravel road, when my rear end started to get VERY loose, i started fishtailing like crazy, and next thing i knew, i went flying through a fence, and hit an avacodo tree doing maybe like 35-40. the tree was about the distance of my truck away from the fence, so you can just imagine about how far in i went etc. the truck, though it suffered a few scratches and dents, was perfectly driveable all the way back home, and still has not leaked a thing, nor does it seem like it will. truth is, the bumper is smashed in maybe about 1 foot in directly in the center, with the perfect mark of a tree. the hood is smashed up, the frame rails pushed through the chrome bumper in the front, the radiator, and tranny fan are both wedged in towards the engine with the bumper pushing on it. the windshield is completely scratched (due to the chain link fence) and so is the entire truck (bed cover, roof, doors, pillars, tailgate) everything, name it and its scratched. i will have some pics up later in the day, but, i will tell you all again, ford really is built tough. a buddy of mine had a similar accident in a ram (he was literally dodging a cat, and he rammed into a pole) go figure, and his car was not drivable and was totaled, and he was going slower than i was. so, ford = the best.:thumbup:
