The end of the road for my 2018 Raptor :(

[bclead]

Sadly, my beloved 2018 Black Ford Raptor met an untimely end! Last Sunday evening while pulling two horses in my horse trailer, I was hit (nearly head-on) by a (very) drunk driver!
I managed to veer to the left as much as I could with the trailer attached, so that the care hit the passenger side of the truck bed, ricocheted into the trailer then spun across the road. At no point did the other driver apply any brakes! Thankfully none of the 4 passengers in the Raptor, nor the 2 horses were seriously injured! I truly believe that responsiveness and toughness of my Raptor saved our lives!! I’ll miss it but will always be grateful for it! The kicker is that next month would have been my last truck payment!!



So….now I (don’t have to but am going to) buy a new Raptor! Bittersweet at best!! Also I have to get a new Ford Raptor Forum decal!!!

Wow - sorry for your loss, but thank god you, your passengers and horses are ok. Hopefully they throw the book at that person!

Sorry to hear about that, glad everyone including the horses were ok!

Give them horses an apple for me and give the driver of the other vehicle a knuckle sandwich.

I’m glad you’re relatively unscathed to tell this tale. I hope you’re back in a Rap quickly!

Man that sucks! Glad you guys and the horses are all ok. Hopefully you can get it replaced soon and not too painfully!

Sorry this happened to you but very happy to hear that all aboard the truck and trailer are okay. With luck they will pay you plenty for your outstanding condition raptor so you can get into a new one with a bunch of money down.
