    Sorry to hear that man.
    Hopefully everyone is ok.
    Accidents happen, it is part of life.

    Hopefully you can find another good truck to replace it.
    Keep us updated.

    Geez, that blows. But as others have said, glad you walked away from it. I hope that your hunt for a new truck goes well, OP.

    poi looks to be on the passenger’s side. you swerved? hopefully nobody was sitting there, and you didn’t get hurt too badly. that’s a pretty big impact.

    There’s an ambulance in the first pic. Hope no one was seriously injured.

    Hopefully that’s not an impression of your head on the windshield.

    Sorry to hear about the accident and your truck.

    Here’s to no longstanding physical or psychological affects from the accident :cheers:

    Since your posting this so soon, it sounds like the Taco took care of you. Sorry 'bout the truck, she did her job keeping you safe.

    A little something every chance we get.
    That picture makes me very glad you are looking for another! I love my 07 with the six, all second gens are great trucks. Best wishes, and I hope you have nothing worse than a sore part or two!
