What NOT to do in your Ford Raptor

I would bet the frame is probably bent. That truck is totaled. 


He left a nice little oil slick too. Probably a mixture of oil, ATF and differential oil.

THAT... was... AWESOME.  :rofl:

 

My truck goes up in collector value every time some asshat destroys one.  :D

 

Let see what you can do with yours, TOP that.  :yum:

I can promise you the airbag damage tops $7K. He'll have to have new airbags and a new dash. I've never had to replace side airbags. If your car or truck is 10 years old and the airbags deploy, your vehicle will be totalled.

Airbags just add to the total - no way that truck is anything but a total loss.

Yep if you slow the video he lands nose down passenger side first. That thing probably looks like a banana now. No way the shocks held, so the under carriage bottomed out. Probably easier to tally what DOES work rather that what does NOT

I gotta give Ford props. I was honestly expecting more front end damage. I still suspect the truck has a lot of damage we couldn't see.

 

I'm still going with totaled.

Sometimes I get annoyed that everyone posts videos of everything these days. But sometimes it really hits the spot. This second angle really needed to happen :D

 

Yeah.  I found that video in the comments section of the video you posted.  I really wanted to see how bad the damage was.  From the first video, it looks like all four tires popped and the suspension broke.  It is too bad someone hasn't posted a really in-depth video of the aftermath.

 

I have to admit that this is one of the dumbest things I have seen in a while.  It certainly would give someone second thoughts before ever considering buying a used Raptor.  ;)

What I wanted to see was his (now) ex-girlfriend get out of the drivers side and yell at him to get Bobbi Sue to pay for it since they were sleeping together...

Yeah, admittedly I took the red-neckery at face value and didn't bother to look for follow up :)
