Many of you don't know me here, but I figured I'd give ya'll a little story of my weekend and ask for some tow rig help.
So, I was going to Tellico on Saturday. Friday night, I got my rig loaded up, met my girlfriend up at wally world to pick up some food, and was headed to the house to get some sleep. She was following me in her car. I'm cruising along at about 40 mph on a 4 lane in kennesaw, and coming the other way, I see a lowered integra absolutely flying. He's coming around a corner, cuts a car off, and I see his backend come around. All of a sudden he is perpendicular with traffic, and headed straight towards me. He hits the median, which sends his car flying into the air, and he hits my truck in the air. Turn out, he died at the seen. I tried to care for him the best I could, but there wasn't much I could do. I was relatively not hurt, but I'm sore as hell and thought I broke my hand. His car all but desinigrated. The roof was sheered off, and the passenger side was sheered off. All that was left was a driver's seat and a motor. I know my truck is going to be totalled. I had gotten an 01 f-250 cc, short bed, 7.3 automatic, green in color. To me, it was a very nice truck, with leather and the lariat package and 150,000 miles and I've only put 750 miles on it since I got it 2 months ago. So now I have a few questions. Does anyone know about what I should be expecting from the insurance company? Also, what is everyone's opinions on tow rigs? I really liked my ford, and think I'll go with another one being as I truely believe this truck saved my life. I have found a couple for sale, I was just looking at input from those that tow all the time. I'd like to stay under about 12,500 or so. Here's a picture of my truck and here is one that I'd like to look at. I really want a black truck.
Here's one I'm looking at:
Any thoughts?
