Dammit! Sorry to hear this Sonoma. I sincerely enjoyed reading about the excitement you had for your new truck. This could and can happen to anyone given the circumstances. Glad you didn't get seriously hurt.

Man I step away from the forum and all this happens. Sonoma, I am sorry for your loss but as others have already said I thank god you are safe. These trucks can easily get out of hand. It is nice to see how well the do at protecting the passengers. Hopefully no one has to see for themselves. I am sure you will get the truck back up and running or a new one at se point. Good luck and best wishes.

Really sorry to hear about your experience out in A-B DSP. I'm just glad to hear you weren't seriously hurt.

I've been out there many times (sounds like you were running the wash to/from Fonts Point) and it's a wide, nice wash but there are some "land mines" that can't always be seen especially at speed.

I'm glad you posted this so folks can learn about your experience as it helps the forum. If just one person takes something away from your experience it's a good thing.

"Tripping a truck" and rolling it is a very scary thing. From day 1 of ownership four-plus years ago we Raptor owners talked about how this can easily happen to anyone. I'm happy that we haven't seen higher numbers of rollovers.

I hope things work out for you the way you want them to. I assume you want another Raptor and I hope you don't give up on off roading because of this.

You learned an expensive lesson. Thanks very much for sharing it with the forum.

Always such a bummer to read about things like this...

As ecohed by others, glad to hear that you're ok, and thanks for posting this so hopefully others might learn. I'm really amazed at just how well the trucks' cab held together.

Best wishes for a quick recovery for both you and your truck.
