If it’s strong enough to throw an F-150, that dino is fucked. Also, we barely know what lived in upland and interior environments, so who knows what adaptations they had. Most dinosaur fossils come from lowland settings near rivers and coasts where rapid burial was likely. There are whole ecosystems we’ve basically never sampled.
Yeah I was gonna say, one of the defining features of the large sauropods was a low body density due to the air sacks in their huge necks and hollow bones. Those adaptations were likely required to achieve their size. So you have a really big animal with relatively low density and high surface area, that thing is going right up into the sky and getting smashed to bits when it lands.

This drives me crazy. Along with the fact that we’ll probably never know about the various colors and fleshy structures that these animals had.
Or what they taste like if you serve them with a side salad
We know for a fact that at least one dinosaur tastes like chicken.
Every dinosaur I’ve ever eaten has tasted fowl.
Chicken! Maybe turkey, but probably chicken or possibly another game bird, but probably chicken!
If it makes you feel better, you can eat my salad
Nothing stopping you from eating what’s left
Well, rocks is all that’s left
Better set the table, we got work to do
I’ll get the sweet tea.
And people doubt the hypercarnivore theory.
They’ve actually started figuring out some colours believe it or not. I’ll see if I can dig it up… Edit:

There’s a decent video on that page too.
“dig it up”. I see what you did there
Oh I never really thought about the fossil record being sedimentary, this largely aquatic and adjacent environments.

clearly this means there were sauropods with wings, who evolved to use tornadoes for transportation
