Anyone else see the video of the red Wisconsin pickup that skidded off the freeway overpass, falling 70 feet to the ramp below, and the driver survived? What brand of truck was that? No news story I've read mentioned the brand or showed the truck in photos or videos in enough detail to determine the brand (and they call themselves journalists).

Watch the left side of the screen, it's amazing he lived! Apparently the truck landed on the wheels and the driver was shaken up, but almost completely uninjured.
No clue on what type of pickup it was.Last edited by tedly; February 9, 2021, 11:08 AM.I'm probably wrong

The first video on this page has decent shots of the truck, but it's pretty mangled up and almost unrecognizable. A Ram, maybe???

I'm 100% positive it's a Super Duty. I'm just not sure on the year. As noted above the crease below the window line and vertical doors handles are something only Ford has done in he last 20 years. A close friend owns a 2011 and it looks a hell of a lot like his.
Ford is also the only MFG that has kept making "awkwardly small" extended cabs. They're super tight for even average sized people. They're more sized for throwing crap behind the seat than sitting. I've sat in the back of one for 4 hours before, not fun. I think Ford might have even dropped the Ext. cab on current trucks, can't remember the last time I've seen one.

And ain't it something, you knock the face off of a truck and bend it up and it takes a lot of study to figure out what it was. Now, let's smash an appliance SUV and we'll never in the life of a rock be able to figure it out. If you remove the badge it's impossible to tell the difference at any given stoplight.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

Now Ford needs to contact the owner and make a commercial with the remains of this truck. I am impressed the guy lived.
