Doesn't look like the airbags deployed. It's hard to tell if the frame is tweaked. The suspension, fender, headlight, etc I doubt will get anywhere near totaling the truck, especially since I've seen entire front ends smashed including hood, both fenders, etc and they were fixed.
Most likely insurance will be fixing this one, you'll be back behind the wheel before you know it.

StateFarm won't start talking total until repair is @72% of value. YMMV

Looks like another great set of OEM Goodyears-----I think they will fix it and not total it. Sorry about your truck, I hope no one was hurt.

Being it's a 17 not unless there is frame damage. Same damage on say a 09 it's probably totaled . Simply a numbers game on vehicle replacement value.

Doesn't look totaled but from working at a dealership I've learned the moment the suspension comes into play it's surprising to see how fast the insurance company will total one out.

If it is totaled someone will be getting a nice easy repairable at the auction. Then its off to the buy here pay here lot.

You’d be amazed at what they will total a vehicle for these days. I bought my 2015 Cummins 4x4 off of auction. It was “totaled” after rear-ending a Jag. Cost a grand total of $1400 to fix: bumper, intercooler , grille. Frame was untouched, minor 2” dent in front of hood. I’d say they’re going to total yours.

it looks very repairable from the pics--but I would need to see it on a hoist--I have seen much worse been fixed but the frame will probably decide it. I also hope no one was injured but it doesn't look as if the airbags went off unless they were cut out before the pic. I also hope that whatever you hit is ok-unless it was just a structure-it looks as though it was something low.
