REALLY hard time. One is asking my age? wtf… Aren’t forums for asking questions and getting answers? Thought so.

I'm asking your age because you're either a young kid that knows nothing about vehicles, which is one thing and worthy of us taking it lighter on you. Or you're older, and you're just an idiot who's here to ask dumb ass questions because there is no way anyone who has been driving for any decent amount time that would ask the questions you've been asking.

Pretty sure my original post mentioned that I’m a new truck owner (coming from owning a Honda Civic for 14yrs). That should be everything you need to know to help understand why I’m asking “dumb ass questions”. A forum is meant for asking questions and gaining knowledge. That’s all I’m trying to do. Just trying to learn about my new truck. Hope you have a wonderful day.

You may have scuffed the tire sidewall. I'd be upset with myself if I did that to my truck. I take extreme care to not hit or even lightly brush up against curbs. Consider it a lesson learned and be more careful moving forward.

So, you've never seen a truck commercial where they're crawling over boulders, not 4 inch curbs? Never seen a truck on the road towing ginormous trailers at 75mph and wondered how their transmission is still intact? Never seen a truck fly over RR tracks just to keep speeding on for 20+years? In your job working with homebuilders, you've never, ever, never seen a truck actually do truck things, nor ever asked about them?

I'm calling bullshit. You're either incredibly naive, unobservant, live in a hole, or are here trolling.

This is nothing to be proud of. Seriously, use common sense. Yes, forums are meant to share information and answer questions. But all your questions align with what a 12-year-old would ask after joy riding their father's truck. If those are the type of questions you will be asking, ask Chat GTP and you'll avoid getting the responses you're getting.

New F150 owner here.

Went over this as I was moving my truck from the front lobby of a hotel at like 1-2mph. I couldn’t see it over the front end as I was driving… literally just shifted it into park and rolled forward and I heard a big thud.

The front entrance of the hotel had this sidewalk that was perfectly leveled with the ground, and then slowly developed into this 6 inch curb as it went out to the left

Could I have damaged anything?

Vince, Sorry for all of the Asinine answers on this form. You should be fine going over the curb. You could take it to a garage and have them put it on a lift and look it over, see if there is any damage to the visual eye. If none drive it up to about 75 MPH see if you feel anything different. If not you should be fine. Just for a piece of mind. That curb has been hit many, many times. Have a great Day.

Larry, don't be a jerk on here, go to facebook.

You honestly believe these are serious questions of an adult human being?

Also- I do not have Facebook.

What difference does it make? Just ignore, don't be a smart ass, and encourage them.

That curb has lots of deep scars, that undoubtedly did do damage. The OP isn't the first to run over it.

I'd rather deal with someone who errs on the side of caution, than someone who puts wheel extenders on, slinging rocks all over the place and thinking they all of a sudden have a monster truck and that such a thing belongs on the road.

It takes time for people used to small vehicles, to get used to larger ones.

My Wife still jokes, that the truck is so big, that it doesn't fit between the lines on the road.

Seat time will cure it.

Thankfully not double checked and tire is ok ?

Thanks for the professional reply (unlike some others here). Grateful that I’m getting some answers for from people taking my questions seriously. Drove it on the highway with no issue and it’s not pulling to one side of the other so I should be good. We’ll still have it looked over by a mechanic when I get home after this trip. Just to be on the safe side.

I would get Ford to do a complete front end rebuild, although it will not be covered by the warranty.

This forum can be extremely helpful, and there are many outstanding individuals on here. And there are many who apparently have nothing better to do than criticize, critique, and make fun of any comment they deem beneath them, which reminds me of junior high school. Comments like those are a disservice to everyone on the forum including themselves.
