You know, the expensive one with the superior suspension and 4 x 4, off-road holding capabilities. I bet his old lady is p*ssed off.

The owner is fed up with the poor performance from his Ranger Rapter, 4 cylinder. He wants a new Ranger Rapter V6, it's a nice truck, puts out around 400HP.

But one thing, we must give him points for. It´s one of the best ever single accident total damage made to your own car. ???? Seriously good driving! After that, also manage to stand by the side without any broken bones or inner bleeding. That´s amazing! The guy should be given a medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people seem to think that - until it happens to them.

It would be great in Australia. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick ups are notorious for tipping over in accidents, especially when they're driven into a ditch! And they are also built to lower accident protection levels than "ordinary" cars?: "In vehicle tests for safety and crashworthiness, trucks routinely get lower scores than SUVs and cars. Not one of the top five ranked pickups in 2019 ranked by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety received top marks across the board in safety, something that was accomplished by all of the top-ranked SUVs and cars. Furthermore, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, most vehicle collision fatalities occur in rollover crashes, and pickup trucks are three times more likely to roll over than other SUVs or cars." https://www.tatelawoffices.com/blog/pickup-trucks-are-more-dangerous-than-cars-and-suvs/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
