Default Hail!!!

My good old Ranger today took about 15 minutes of getting pound with hail, and it was all hail, no rain or nothing!!! It took it like a champ and didn't dent or anything, it's indeed Built Ford Tough!!!

You guys are lucky, lol. My truck took a pounding from a hail storm in May of 2011 and it destroyed my hood, dented my fenders, dented the roof, doors, and broke my 3rd brake light! Over $4000 worth of damage, and was in the shop for a month! Hail sucks.... Lol

My older brother has a 2011 Tacoma, it was in a hail storm a couple months ago. Over $5000.00 in damage. They even had to replace the roof skin. The top of the cab had over 300 dents.

We got some bad hail in mcallen TX a few months ago it was bad completely destroyed vehicles, homes and businesses...the morning after on the way to work half the cars on the road were trashed and there were abandoned vehicles everywhere. Zero business signs as they had been torn to shreds! Some fell on vehicles even...my bro in law barely made it through the hail in a 97 lifted Chevy silverado with all terrains and 4wd lol a cop retired to pull him over cuz he was driving on the shoulder to bypass the miles of parked cars but he couldn't get traction lol! his truck got a little messed up though...
