Glad you and everyone else was okay. That's the worst part of any accident... injury. Stuff can be fixed or replaced.

Ford trucks are pretty tough. As I said when we met at that NJ Chapter meeting (at the diner) I've been rear-ended several times in my crewcab with very little damage to me. Paint damage, broken license plate lights, bumper knocked loose and crooked, that sorta stuff.

Something about thick steel and a weight difference in your favor that's condusive to minimizing damage.

During the winter (while it was snowing heavily) a kid in an import slid through a stop sign right into my path and I tested the structural integrity of "Superbumper".

Weight, and steel is good.
