Looks like he put it in park while in 2 wheel. Rear tires couldn't hold it while he was unloading gen boat.

This is why my diff gets locked and 4x4 engaged on my f150. I'll have atleast 3 tires trying to stop it instead of 1 or 2

Rear is locked, I think it slid down the ramp, some of those ramps are like ice skating rinks at times, either way that is a real bummer

A Ferd would have floated. It's a feature.

Yes the rear is locked but the front tires are spinning. If he would have put it in 4x4 the front tires would be locked by the trans also giving more traction.

It could have happened to any brand but we will never know the cause unless we speak to someone who was there. It just sucks that it happened bc I know I would be super upset even though you have Insurance the idea of this is bad enough.

Did I type Government Motors? How soon we forget.
Congress decided that the best alternative for Ford was to get funds from the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF), which is a government program for auto, student, and other consumer loans. These were very low-cost government loans to the tune of $5.9 billion that helped Ford tip-toe past bankruptcy and overhaul their factories to bring out more fuel-efficient technology. The Obama administration’s plans of having a million electric cars on the road by 2015 were being funneled through Ford and two other companies (Nissan and Tesla), and Ford fans had the audacity to call GM “Government Motors.”

That was the tradeoff for Ford. They promised to fast-track development of energy-efficient vehicles and consolidate operations by making “greener” cars that the Obama administration wanted to see.

Ford Credit borrowed $15.9 billion dollars as opposed to GMAC, GM’s financing arm which borrowed $13.9 billion. These numbers make the perception that Ford was the only Detroit-based company that didn’t need a federal handout during the economic crash completely false.

And doing some research will show that this info is correct. So keep having those dreams....

After the insurance claim the guy needs to purchase a Hummer H1

In Frontiertown in Ocean City MD they have a guy drives around and takes boats to put them in the water if you come towing them in. I assume you pay him but there are not many slips so I think it is a first come first serve basis, but nice to watch Class A's drive in towing boats, you disconnect it and park your A they bring your boat to the ramp?
