Wrecked my 2018 TRDOR

I just wanted to say, I'm super impressed with how well my TRD OR protected me when I was rear ended and spun into a semi the other day.
I honestly believe if I was in any other car that was lower or smaller I would have been killed for sure. As it is I only sustained minor damage and a concussion and not even one broken bone. Nothing I can't heal up from in short order. Here's a few pics. It's such an amazingly engineered truck and I highly recommend it just for the safety factor alone. Its a real shame too because I sure loved that truck.

 

HOLY CRAP! Glad you made it out with so little injury. Pour a drink, enjoy the weekend ... BECAUSE YOU CAN!

 

Truck is replaceable but not you bud! Glad you’re okay! Hell of an accident wish you the best!

 

Holy Moly! Glad you are OK.

 

RIP your poor OR, But she did her job protecting you - glad you came through that as well as you did!

 

Damn.

 

Oh my...WOW I am glad you are okay.

 

Well, truth be told, a traumatic brain injury (which a concussion is) can have life-long consequences.

 

Amazing!

 

I am trying to focus on the "high hopes and high spirits" given by the OP. I am sure the OP can sort out the rest without my interference.

 

Looking at that I would say there's no way at all the driver, or any passenger, survived.

Congrats & blessings to be counted.

 

omg.....ur lucky

 

Happy to hear you basically walked away from that total destruction... impressive.

 

HO LEE PHUK!!
Glad you're ok because that looks unwinnable.

 

Holy shit. Glad you’re ok

 

oh ****. heal up and the hunt begins for a new one.

 

Gotdamn, how you escaped out of that carnage is a downright miracle!

 

Dayum @Cudaguy, that was one serious collision; glad you weren't more grievously injured.

Regarding your concussion; I had one three years ago when I got attacked by two very large dogs, one 150 pounds, the second 170 pounds, the smaller one bit the back of my right knee off and then pancaked me to the pavement so hard the witnesses thought I was dead due to the sound my head made when it bounced off the pavement. For the next fifteen hours or so things went downhill fast ending with the doctors telling my wife I was going through multiple organ failure and was unlikely to survive; scared the crap out her and our kids (I was in a coma and had no idea what was going on). When I came back around 30 hours after the attack I was blind, I couldn't speak (intubated), and I was bound to the hospital bed by both arms and legs; yeah, I was not a happy camper, I had no idea who I was, where I was, why I was blind and mute, and why the hell I was tied up, but I did everything I could to get the restraints off me. Needless to say that didn't go over too well with the hospital folks, so they put me into another coma, this time medically induced. The next time I woke up I was unrestrained and I could speak and see, but WOW did I have the mother of all headaches.

I told you that to tell you this; after a few weeks of recovery I visited a neurologist who gave me a piece of very sage advice:

• Brains heal best when they are stimulated
• Roughly 40% of brain stimulus comes from your eyes
• One of the highest stimulus environments you can encounter is jogging on a wooded trail where your brain needs to quickly process surface irregularities (i.e. roots, rocks, and holes), where to place your feet, and how to keep your balance while at the same time avoiding low hanging branches and other obstructions

I started trail running that very afternoon and credit this activity to my relatively quick recovery; the only lasting effect, so far at least, is some neuropathy in my hands. Please keep us posted on your recovery.

Oh, one final comment before anybody else gets to it, "Shit'll buff out!"

 

Just wow!
Glad you’re okay!

 

Oh my. Glad you walked away. That is gnarly.
