If you’re gonna be dumb you better be tough!

Ford Raptor jump.

https://youtu.be/JKQdlXvbWSU

 

Aiiir bags!!

 

Jacked those dudes up! Totaled that truck.

 

I hope his insurance denied the claim.

 

That was good enough for TV!!! More money than sense!!! (maybe)?? and!!!! That was Hilarious!!!!! !!!! WOW!!!!!

 

One of the quickest ways to waste $70k

 

If ins knows this is how it got totaled, otherwise what’s to stop driver from fibbing??

 

I’ve never heard of or seen anything like this....

Great jump! I hope they cut out the airbags and kept going.

 

This video.

 

Saw this a couple years ago, what idiots!!!

 

A claim that size you can only hope they pulled the black box data and saw he was doing 80 mph with 100% throttle and start asking questions. Maybe his passenger tried to file a claim and spilled the beans... Financial pain is the only way some people learn!

 

If this video went viral then ins will at some point know and can even claim charges if fraud, then it becomes criminal and financially painful.

 

At least they were using it off-road... half the damn raptors I see never leave the parking lot.
Built Ford Tough!

 

So teach me: where would I find rules about what off-road driving is covered and what is not? I’m not being sarcastic, I’m wanting guidance because Raptors are depicted as being able to handle high speed dessert driving— which, in my limited experience— may include berms and drop-offs that turn out to be bigger than they look on approach. The term ‘faster than conditions’ seems the only applicable limit, but who decides? It can’t be legal that any damage negates coverage— or why have comprehensive insurance?

 

Read your insurance policy. There is a section listing exclusions of coverage.

 

That was not off road driving......that was taking a jump at 80+ mph. Idiotic if you ask me because there isn’t a stock truck made that can take that type of abuse even one time. Just because you spend 70k+ on an off road capable vehicle doesn’t mean you are capable taking it off road. And especially if you’re going to be a dumb ass about it. Whoever thought that wouldn’t end up the way it did (major catastrophic damage to the truck and a trip to the hospital for the occupants) is off their rocker.

 

This. And if an insurance company thinks they can get away with it they will deny coverage even if technically the claim should be covered. I can’t imagine a jury would feel sorry for this guy. He is lucky he didn’t kill anyone.

 

I’m thinking he meant to hit the downside of that double and didn’t give it a few trial runs. Maybe a little whiskey dick involved and floored it to be sure he cleared the double. Huck to flat for sure.

 

But Bo and Luke Duke used to do this all of the time and kept driving. Guess it's cause they drove a Dodge?

 

yep that and a fleet of identical cars helps too.

 

For Sale. 2019 Ford. Only has 3 seconds of air time!! Asking $19,990

 

That’s a good way to break your back and total the truck.

 

I cringe whenever I see that video, watch the passenger, I promise you he had a compression back injury, at one point someone says the ambulance is on the way, IIRC....

 

If they'd only added a Bull Bar! Haha, pile of crxp furd.....

 

I feel like the only thing missing in that vid is a tiny kiddie pool.

I wonder how long after launching in the air it took for the driver to figure out he might have been going a little to fast. I'm guessing right after yell "oohhh" and right before "shhhhiiiiit!

 

You can get race car insurance. Not cheap and good only for the day you race.

 

And because the 15 of them....to replace the totaled ones.

 

Well at least the air bags worked. The Duke brothers should of kept to the challenger. I guess they wanted to try something new!!!! Nice jump though but should of landed on the back wheels first. But it’s a ford and it’s ok to fix rear daily. I look at it this way if you got the money for to buy one of them raptors you got the money to fix it. Maybe they should of put some FOX decals on. I’m wondering when the Duke brothers are going to try it again?

 

"Hold my beer...watch this!!!"
