Angry Rangers Built Tough
Today I had an accident on my ranger which was about 4 days old. A mercedes S-Class knock the back of my ranger and pissed me off totally but I made him pay for my scratches on the paint work. The amazing thing was there was only a coupla scratches on my rear bumper but the front of the mercedes was pretty bad...gonna cost him a fair bit to repair but serves him right cos he was on the cell phone then!

Re: Rangers Built Tough
We dont get US Ranger anymore. That goes for Australian and European region. Think they called it wildtrack or something like that.

Re: Rangers Built Tough
Sorry to hear about that. That sucks when it's only four days old. Glad to see it's as good as new again!

Re: Rangers Built Tough
The best part of owning a tough truck is getting in an accident with a luxury car... Their car is totaled. Yours? A couple of scratches! A girl I went to highschool with ruined her Civic on the rear bumper of my F150 NITE, when I owned it. Excellent :)

Re: Rangers Built Tough
yeah if you are in a truck, you are not going to get hurt but the accident may be deadly for the other person.In that case, the truck driver is mostly suspected as the culprit.

Re: Rangers Built Tough
Love to hear about a truck taking down a car, when it's the car drivers fault.

Now you can get hurt just as bad and killed in a truck. They are a lot more likely to roll. I've seen cars go right under the rear end of trucks, lifting one side of the truck up and tipping it over. All depends on how the accident occurs. Bumper bashers, sure the truck will most likely win. High speed and broadside are a different story.

Re: Rangers Built Tough
yeah its true but if the collision is head on andf the sped is not very high, then truck drivers do not get hurt.The car gets completely totaled and driver oftenly gets serious injuries.
