Truck Fire

[Teeka01]

We haven't seen the fire report yet, but after the fire inspector talked to the witness this is what the FI determined that The official report will read that the fire started from an undetermined source in the bed area. We are not to be blamed for it.

Glad to hear that there was a witness to confirm that you were not at fault. That should make it easier to get the insurance company to cough up the cash for a new vehicle.

We finally got a new truck. We got a 2006 Nissan Frontier with the nismo sports package. We walked away from the other truck loan free. The insurance didn't cover anything that was in the truck or the tool chest. If we hadn't got the gap insurance when we bought the truck we would of still owed about 7,000 on it. I will post pictures of the new truck when I can get some. My hubby works long hours.

How do you like the nissan compared to the ford?

[Teeka01]

To be honest I prefer the Nissan, It is a mid size truck. It is easier for me to handle. Better gas mileage, the ford cost about $60 a week and the Nissan is about 45 a week. The engine isn't even broke in yet so the gas mileage will get better. It still has the room needed to hull my husband's band equipment in the cab. Due to it being a little smaller it has more pick up and go. The engine in the Nissan is a V6, the ford was a V8. And my hubby has decided not to speed anymore with the new truck...LOL.

It seems as though this is a common problem with Ford trucks - http://www.consumeraffairs.com/autom...f150_fires.htm

It is a good thing that the truck was not parked in the garage.
