Be curious what caused the fire. I remember the cruise control brake switch recall that was causeing truck fires and burned down a few houses when the trucks were in the garage. Had two neighbors with the problem. One in the driveway just lost truck other in garage and lost part of house.

This may be the source of the problem?
Ford Motor Co. issued a recall Wednesday for 9,300 vehicles that are at risk of catching fire due to leakage of fuel. The company said that it is not aware of any fires, accidents or injuries related to the problem.
Approximately 8,000 2017 Ford Super Duty vehicles and 1,300 2016 Ford Taurus, 2016-17 Flex, 2017 Explorer and Police Interceptor Utility and 2016-17 Lincoln MKT vehicles with 3.5-liter GTDI engines have been recalled. While the company said it will inspect and install fuel tank strap reinforcement on the Super Duty vehicles, the other affected models will have their leaking turbocharger oil supply tubes replaced.

That truck was torched w/an accelerant. Been on a ton of car fires & I've only seen 1 burning like that, in that amount of time. It had a trunk full of gas cans full of gas.Comment

Ford's been wrestling with fire problems with their trucks since the mid 2000's
Car & Driver photographed a proto-type 2016 model, towing a trailer during secretive road testing - catching fire and burning in this same manner?
Read they use magnesium metals in some of the steering components - which creates a super hot burn that can't be extinguished with water.Comment

Best reasoning ever to not buy one!Originally posted by nursejenn View Post
That trucks gonna be totaled regardless of whats it made out of. You'd still be dead too if you stayed inside.

Rolled up on a gas tanker that had just passed me a few minutes earlier. Then wrecked out with a car. Car driver was discarded from car and laying in the off ramp road dead after both went over the side of the road. Driver of the gas truck was hanging up side down in the cab still in his seat near the over pass. Truck started exploding before I could get to him. The only thing left of the trailer and truck was the frame and wheels. Every thing else melted.
Glad the rides were able to get out of the P/U.Last edited by Texas Grown; 03-11-2017, 12:23 PM.Comment

Me and some friends pulled into a gas station years ago right as a guys engine compartment caught on fire. By the time we ran inside to grab a fire extinguisher the truck was engulfed like that.Comment
