Thank You!

Yep. Walking the truck is useful in many situations lol

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Everyone says that 😆

He would have had to back up either way

I’d rather drive around. No point in risking driving into head on traffic without traffic control, especially when people are not going to be paying attention, trying to see what’s going on. Worth the extra few seconds to drive around.

Probably better to not be driving into oncoming without warning, I’d have rather went around through the parking lot myself.

Eat a mayonnaise sandwich 🥪 and stand in the corner

Thanks for watching! Glad you’re enjoying the content!

It was a glancing hit, not head on, which helped I guess.

@@Towtruck_Dustin Hey do you ever get to see any cam footage of the wrecks you recover?

Only if they get stuck together 😂

F²-300

All cars passed like the 90s are but they’ve been getting safer and safer so correct it looks bad but it’s to keep the passengers safe

@@qwertypoiuyt1 Yes. and F-150s are at the top of these ratings. Better to sacrifice a vehicle than the life of yourself or a passenger.

Thank You!

Yeah that doesn’t happen here

It’s definitely totaled. These new aluminum trucks aren’t designed to live through a hard impact like that. They’re designed to keep the occupants safe

@@Towtruck_Dustin makes sense. These days it seems like even fender benders end up being totaled. Nothing like when I was in auto body repair. We fixed cars that most would have thought were totaled. Not the way they make vehicles now days. If you can’t simply replace a fender and bumper they total them.

​@@dlsimesthe issue with front ends all depends if structural stuff gets damaged. I have a 1998 GMC that a farmer wrecked in. A slow impact on the front in the ditch but the fenders were crumpled and the bumper and stuff destroyed. Hood is still good I think. Well all the stuff damaged is all bolted on and not structural.

Yes

There’s a hidden button that turns it off. I’m not taking the time on a wrecked truck to find it and do all that on an active accident scene.

I never saw anyone point a gun?

@@Towtruck_Dustin @3:20 he had what looks like a holstered pistol in his right hand.

​@@Towtruck_Dustinwhen u ask the cop which vehicle u r picking up,that duffis of a cop does actually have his gun in his hand pointing it at the truck and right before that before he shakes your hand he puts it on his clip board

Happens all the time. Pay big money for a set of wheels and you’ll want them back. I’ve done it before on one of my vehicles after an accident.

Thank You!

Thank You!

Wow!! Sounds like they needed some remedial training.

@@Towtruck_Dustin common sense would have worked too

Thanks for watching!

Must be a Houston thing because of all the police chases or maybe because it’s rural and to stop damage from deer strikes.

@@Towtruck_DustinI’m in San Antonio and they’ve always had guards

Seems that would be a lot extra work than just doing what I did.

I see rigs without tires at Insurance auctions, Ha🤪

It’s common to have want their custom items off a vehicle. These things cost a lot of money

@@Towtruck_Dustin i understand that just heard differant heard from other towers on KZfaq that taking parts from vehicles are not allowed

Well, that's unfortunate

I’m sure that’ll be its next life.

Is it because my truck has an aluminum bed?

Yeah sounds like the bed surface grips the block too much. This is why I like steel decks.

@@Towtruck_Dustin company I work for has this thing where they insist on aluminum decks

You’d be surprised.

Very rarely.

@@Towtruck_Dustin oh

Thank You!

@@Towtruck_Dustin you are welcome

I do. From birth.

Hope u don’t mind Me asking.

Thank You!

Exactly!!!👍

The truck Dustin towed is a 21-23 f150. The older one is atleast 10 yrs old, 2014 and below generation.

Exactly 👆🏻

​@@sunnydeng9263still not old, it's older

​@@sunnydeng9263still not old, it's older

Lifting it?

To make him get up and move forward With the tray @@Towtruck_Dustin

I think he was talking about the last part where you dropped off the PU. You pushed your tow truck forward and your back wheels came slightly off the ground.

Oh walking the truck? That’s a common practice for unloading when something won’t roll. Of course there are other ways. But this is my preferred way.

And how the idea came about ?@@Towtruck_Dustin

It’s part of the crumple zone to help keep the passenger compartment intact so that way most of the energy goes into the body parts instead of the passenger compartment

Thank You!

Thank You!

Will be just tyre shine of some sort

Any off the shelf tire shine should do it

That’s my truck I had just washed it😂

@@hunteronryan2275dang did you at least get your tool box and your wheels and tires off your truck

@@hunteronryan2275did you get new truck after your insurance total your old one

Mounted on the headache rack on the bed.

It had plenty of power. Jumping wasn’t the issue.

Definitely a difference in the new truck and older one. The old one is made out of steel. The new is aluminum. lol

@@Towtruck_Dustinnew one’s a whole lot safer as well.

​@@Towtruck_Dustinold one crumples more at higher speeds, a 40 mph crash is the biggest difference between the two.

The truck was in neutral.

Most cops are bitches.

Noticed it...must of been a gun belonging to a driver? The officer has two holstered weapons on him that you can see at the time he is holding that gun in his right hand. A driver must of asked to remove the weapon from the crashed vehicle before it was towed. Officer removed it for him, then for whatever reason got distracted and walked around with it and even was using it to point at the vehicles.

Noice. My comment was deleted 😂

@@flight2k5Who keeps u safe

@@pom8130 i keep myself safe. I don’t need the gov to protect me

Yep. That’s why we’re doing the clean up. They would have the road shutdown all day if they had to wait for someone else. Only minutes if we do it.

Definitely totaled. Doesn’t take much on those aluminum trucks.

All the airbags are deployed

My grandma had a minor fender bender and it cost $1100 just for a headlight and a new bumper

10 grand is not light. lol.

90% sure frame is bent which is an automatic total

Rule of thumb, you never drive a customers vehicle unless absolutely necessary. Thats especially true if it’s wrecked. Never know what’s wrong with it. On top of that, it was said many times in the video, the truck would t run, and the brake was locked up.

one is a few years newer. the one that took the front end impact (the one he picked up) is new then the one that took the side hit on the front fender is older. i say the one he picked up was maybe a 2020 or newer and the other maybe around 2010 2012 area

definitely not

Lmao the older one is a 12th gen f150 which came out for the 2009 model year how the actual fuck is that new?

The other one looks like an early 2010s model

Manufacturers design vehicles for themselves. It's way too costly to repair totals for most people so it becomes scrap. It's designed so you don't either have you cabin crushed or you become a skin bag of organ mush

Aluminum is still better ith safety, rust, and weight. The older ones do much worse in a crash, steel might look like it held up better but it really didn't and also its more expensive to repair.

@@averagetownplayer1543I’ve been told that aluminum is more expensive to repair!?

@@averagetownplayer1543 aluminum is MUCH more expensive to repair. Also steel does much better against rust compared to aluminum. Just look at new Chevy ram and ford trucks.

New vehicles are made to absorb the energy to protect the passengers and drivers. The new F-150 is top of its class in these ratings. There is countless tests you can find here on KZfaq of them comparing the injuries that would happen in new cars vs old. Most old cars will hold up better "sometimes", but the driver and passenger is more likely to be hurt or killed. It depends on what is more important to you. If its more important to save a car than yourself or your passengers then buy something older. If you want yourself, your wife or kids to be unharmed in a moderate to major collision then newer vehicles are much better. I can also attest to this from doing this same type of crash clean up and being in 5 car accidents myself. I would drive myself and anyone I cared about in a newer F-150 before anything old. I've seen countless people injured and killed in collisions with older cars and trucks. Even when the older vehicle wasn't that badly damaged.

When it works, you'll thank it... saved my ass once!

These exist because they keep people from getting into secondary crashes with other cars or things like rolling down a hill or off a cliff after a collision. They have good reason for being there.

Yes, a stepson.

WTF???

@@gabesmath105 thats not wierd wdym. it just means u married a woman who already had a son so they become your stepson. it just means you are not DNA related

@@shine2d226 i meant "none of your business"

@@gabesmath105its not that weird, especially if the creator commented back.

That’s a matter of opinion. Every vehicle I own is customized. Life’s too short to drive a boring vehicle.

Lol
