Driver went to the hospital on a stretcher. The T-100 had 136k on it and the lady said she has only replaced the tires and brakes. If I could find a low mileage T-100 I would buy it. Goes to show that Toyota is not new at building tough trucks. Just finally making a "full size" tough truck.
I think my Tundra is way to soft, i wrecked my CM doin 60-65 down a dirt road and my tow hooks dug into a ditch that i could not see until I was 30 feet away from it. But anyways i bent down the front 6 inches of the frame and it pulled down the fenders and of coarse tore up the bumper. From the first contact of the tow hooks to the second contact of the tow hooks on the dirt was 70 feet. That was the hardest hit i've ever taken and i ride motocross!
