This was my wife and I on Thursday on our way out to Montana to see our son who lives out there. I held my wifes hand in the driveway before we left and said, "Let's pray." We prayed for a safety on our trip. We both walked away with only minor scratches. Prayer works.

The article got it wrong. It was an F350, not an F150. And we did not roll into the ditch. We ended up upside down and facing backwards in the middle of the road I94.

How did you manage that?

My gut reaction was so why is this on FR?

Then I read your post. Thankful y’all are OK!

Glad to hear you guys are okay. A couple years ago, my wife rolled over in our Ford F150 and also walked away with minor injuries. She was trying to avoid debris on the road and then had to quickly steer the other way to avoid a telephone pole. The Ford trucks do not handle well in such evasive maneuvers as described below. As you can see, you guys were very fortunate to walk away.

I used to love the Ford trucks but after my wife's incident - no more in this household.

The weight and momentum of a 7,000 to 11,000 lb. truck like the F150, F250 or F350 Ford trucks are almost impossible to correct without "over-steering" or "over-correcting." Most Ford F-150 roll over accidents occur when the driver is forced to take an emergency or evasive action after steering in one direction and then rapidly correcting in the opposite direction, such as a typical avoidance maneuver with a deer, tire tread defect, a dog, pothole, road hazard, tire blowout, tire tread separation or to avoid another vehicle. Sadly, many of these normal evasive actions we take for granted in a passenger vehicle can result in a rollover in a Ford F-150 truck rollover. When such a rollover occurs in a Ford F-150, the survivability of the occupants often depends on their height and on the amount of deformation or crushing of the roof, roof pillars, roof headers and door frames. A Ford F-150 roof crush from a rollover is usually a deadly combination, especially at highway speeds.

You rolled your truck? That makes you an Honorary New Mexican.

Since the top of your truck is all scraped up, you’ll need to repaint it.
