Default F-350 vs S-10

Since this is my tow vehicle and its out-of-service for a while, I had to share. A 16 year old kid pulls out in front of me in an old S-10 today and we hit head on.
I didnt have any time to brake so it was a solid 40mph hit. I knew we hit hard but I didnt feel it as much as he did.
I was really thankful that no one was hurt, I think if I had t-boned him, it would have been bad.

Another reason bigger is better...

Glad every one is OK. Looks like you damn near drove over him. I hope he had insurance....

Looks like it knocked your front axel off.

I know the axle is knocked back about 4 inches, it was moved down the leaf spring, not sure how bad everything else is though. I will go look at it closer today, I was to P.O.'d to get under it yesterday.

I am lucky he does have insurance, that seems to be a big problem these days, so many people driving and NOT being insured.

WOW, glad everyone is okay. I hate that you had this to happen to you.

Funny, but when I read the title of the thread I thought it was a joke about which truck could tow more!

The wife loves her Excursion for this exact reason.

Good luck with the repairs!

That'll teach him. I'll bet he dropped a load right before your beast slammed into him
