2015 TRD SPORT 4x4 LB flipped and totaled!!

[Robozoo]

On December 23rd 10am just outside of Bend Oregon"on my way to St.Maries Idaho to see family for Holidays"my wife and myself hit a strip of black ice on a 45mph S curve in 4Hi the Rig did a complete 180 in about 2 seconds and bounced over center divider/curb4ft wide and ended up in on coming traffic. Two big rigs were literally 30ft from bashing us
With the truck still sliding and my passenger side facing the traffic I had no choice but to put her in the the ditch.
As soon as I hit the soft shoulder we cough a pivot point and flipped hard! It was a complete roll. But luckily we landed on our wheels with not a scratch on us.the truck truly did what it was supposed to to do. It saved our lives. I can't be sure it would have went down any other way in any other vehicle.
However 10 days later I've developed a left ear infection outer and inner that the doctor says was caused my the side curtain air bag. So for now I can't here our of my left.
In short,I had full coverage and gap insurance. I just got my new new Tacoma a on the 21st and I couldn't be happier to be driving anything else.
New to this site can't wait dig in!
Peace!
Here's a few shots of the old girl and the new.

I'm guessing you guys had your seat belts on? I like the color on the new truck.

Happy to hear your OK. My truck looks just like your old one minus the tool box.
