Tundras have Stronger Roof Racks

[Jetboy]

I guess you can haul a boat and tow a broke down Ford...

Lady in the Ford rear ended the Tundra's boat and that's how it stopped. Woman injured after rear-ending boat, sending it over truck | KSL.com

Wow! I know nothing about boats, but that's more than the 250lbs our stock cross bars will do.

I have to admit, I'm surprised how little the roof collapsed and how none of the windows are shattered.

I thought I carried a lot on my roof!

What you wanna bet she was looking at her phone.......

Well a Tundra did tow the space shuttle geez

 

[Hanau]

Wow!

You know, I ride that road fairly often in the Summer. I hate to think of that stupid b***h ramming into the back of my bike, in her POS Ford. I hope they take her license away, and that it costs her plenty.

Yes, seeing this level of inattentive stupidity makes me angry.

:gun5:

So they must not have done a good job securing the boat because it flew OUT of the cradle in the trailer, OVER the Ford and ONTO the Tundra's roof over an 8ft gap? How fast was that lady going!?

No. It was on the trailer behind the Tundra that the Ford is now parked on. She shoved the boat over the Tundra's tailgate and up onto the roof. And yeah, with the rollers they put on the front catch post it is entirely feasible it just rolled right up and over with only a rope and hand winch to hold it.

Maybe the lady in the Ford was making a sammitch?:tongue:

Oh snap! I didn't even notice that the Ford is ON the trailler! Yeah that makes more sense now, still that's pretty quick clip.

That's one expensive insurance claim. :jaw:

 

[FordyceCreek]

That picture may be worth more then 1000 words. :faint2:

 

[4Surfin]

hopefully insurance will cover a REAL boat... surprised that crapliner didnt crumble

 

[HerT4R]

That's one expensive insurance claim. :jaw:

and this is why we all pay outrageous insurance rates, to cover the idiot drivers...

especially in Houston... :crutch:

 

[Mistaken]

Bummer day for that Tundra owner... Lost his boat and truck on the same day. Sounds like the making of a hit country song...

 

[mikey's2010SR5]

Come on. That is static weight, meh. But on the other hand I could put the boat on the roof and then tow a trail trailer with the RTT on top...
