Well.. this happens when someone pulls pulls out right in front of you after being stopped on the shoulder to let you by, without blinking or looking. Thankfully everyone is alright and he had insurance.

Waiting game for me right now - to me it seems totaled...which I'm hoping for, since I wouldn't feel safe driving a vehicle that's been welded back together, nor would I want an accident on my "almost brand new" truck. 6,500 miles. Totaled, or not?

On top of that... this happened two days before I got married, during my bachelor party. Luckily, before anyone of us had a sip of alcohol.

That's what I'm thinking... the only thing would be that it is a 2016 and only had 6,500 miles on it

Wow!! Glad everyone is okay. I'm guessing with a hit that hard it probably wrinkled the doors or the bed contacted the cab?

I bet it's totaled.

What's the other vehicle look like?

Hope they were cited for it to make the claim that much easier.

Congrats on the marriage too!

Thanks. Appreciate it. Here is the other vehicle, an old tow truck. Right into the side of it, he flopped out the windshield since he didn't wear a seat belt

Glad everyone is ok, sad for truck though.
Good luck with your next truck bud.

That truck is probably valued at around 45K. Insurance will total if the bill is 70 - 75 percent of the value. So, if the repair cost is over 31.5K, it will most likely get totaled.

I think it will be close.

Well... according to my insurance company's claim department, she said it would be restored to pre-existing condition, and I re-confirmed that twice during our recorded phone call.

That's in the case of it being repaired though, my hopes are that it will be totaled. Just waiting to see... how long time was the process for you?

Other point is that airbags didn't go out, and they're about 5k a piece. Although both the passenger and the driver side door got pushed back and jammed, radiator leaking and some other goodies too....

Mine was def a bad experience lol. Accident happened may 18 and I didn't have my truck back till June 30. Between my insurance being slow to send out adjusters and my shop taking a long time to communicate with the insurance it was a nightmare. Hopefully they don't try to fix your truck they will cheap out on everything. I have full coverage and still ended up paying like 1500 to have it back to how it was before the accident for the aftermarket things I had. It was stressful to say the least lol. Good luck hopefully they total it and let you take off the aftermarket stuff you put on or atleast add it to the value when they cut you a check .
