Stupid broad nailed me right between the cab and bed. Everyone is ok nobody seriously hurt, but my daughter who was in the passenger seat is a little stiff.

Only had the truck 2 months and was starting to feel like it was be oming one with me. If u know what i mean.

Truck is drivable but some serious shaking going on back there. Rear wheel is bent hoping the axle isnt. But i can tell it pushed the rearend over to the drivers side. Or it could just look that way be ause the wheel is bent. Brakes feel like theres a bent rotor, and can hear some noises when I use the brakes. Also hope the frame isnt bent. But Im almost positive it is cuz the passenger front wheel is sticking out the fender some.

Oh well F'ing sucks. Just glad my daughter is ok.

If I had to guess 50-60. I was crossing thru a major intersection on a highway. And for the speed I woulda thought her car and my truck woulda Been alot more damage.

If I had not floored it she woulda nailed the passenger door.

Spun the truck around 180*.

When the truck came to a stop I was facing the other direction.



Oh and Im using my cellphone. So I'm not getting the spell check and what not coinciding with my brain.

Bedside, rear door shell most likely, uniside, front bumper, rear wheel, possibly axle housing.


It's fixable easy.

Hoping. Fingers crossed.

Wife and I have a good autobody shop. That has taken care of our vehicles and her families for yrs. So I am confident they will do a good job and make it right.

Totally sucks. I feel so bad for you. I would probably tell the broad to buy me a new one...
Glad to hear everyone is ok though.

Sorry to hear about the truck, but glad you and your daughter are alright.

I bet your truck is fixable. The only way they'd even consider totaling it is if it needed complete frame replacement (labor costs), and I doubt you're looking at that. Make sure that the body shop has closely examined everything, as hidden damage can be very not fun if found later.

Yeah,they are very good. They somehow repair the vehicles better than the manufacturer, at least from the experiences we've had with them.

I'm not thinking (hoping)it's totaled, but my wife thinks it is.

I understand that. I had to have some stuff fixed on mine like 3 days after I bought mine. They gave me a journey... My wife loved it... I was so ready to get my ram back.

Maybe its just me, but the damage looks very minor. I would be shocked if they total it out. Even if the frame is bent, they can straighten it as long as its not too bad.
Take lots and lots of pictures though! I wish I took more pictures of the damage to my truck that happened about 6weeks ago. I only took about 8. Shoulda taken 38! Luckily one of my pics showed scratches in the hood from the glass shattering. Body shop painted over them and I can still see the scratches at certain angles. But thats just one of the long list of things they need to re-do.
