This guy was definitely distracted. I have the dash cam footage from the car behind the guy that caused the accident. He was accelerating for 15 seconds + without braking. Then hit the brakes for less than one second before impact on us (we were stopped). The worst part was that it had been stop and go for 15 minutes. So I have no clue what he was thinking.
Shit, I hope you get the outcome you want. Were you hurt at all?
Nah, truck is just a bit messed up, but it was a non event. Hopefully you didn't get any whiplash from the rear ending. Better to be in a truck for those cases I think.
Glad you're alright which is the most important thing! When I had my accident in my '19 it didn't look like much at first and IIRC the estimated repair costs were less than yours and they totaled it. They also factor in unforeseeable repairs which would've brought mine well over the totaled amount. As bad as I hated to part with it I'm glad it was totaled and not having to deal with any future issues was a blessing too. Good luck and let us know what you end up getting.
Maybe a Ranger Raptor. 
Yes, you are correct. I should have stated that initially to help with people's interpretations but forgot to.
Sorry about your truck, when I was giving you my repair and and replace estimate I was doing the best I could to try and salvage it for you. Oh well, win some, lose some. Again, glad you are okay. Keep us posted!

No biggie. Folks are able to see your location in your profile (appears to be out of date) unless they have Members Profiles Minimized but often don’t make the connection right away. It only becomes important when dollar figures are being thrown around.
Someone bumped into me and broke the taillight and a little dent under it and it was $5500The impact pushed the box into the driver's side c pillar and dented the hell out of it. What are your thoughts?
You should come out of it OK financially. US insurance pays fair market value for a totaled vehicle. This is very close to a dealer's price for a similar vehicle. Your insurance is likely subrogating (passing on) the expense to the other driver's insurance. So don't be afraid to negotiate the settlement. Include the cost of the topper and roof rack and any other accessories to give your FMV a boost.
