Reading those words always brings a smile to my faceOkay Folks,
Another Back Story.
They did, but since we're above the equator, it shows the way we see it nowits from down under...shouldnt they be spinning it the other way?
Hi RP,They did, but since we're above the equator, it shows the way we see it now
Absolutely correct sir,modern cars are designed to crunch, manufactures want the cars to absorb the impact instead of the people inside.
it really doesn't take much to tweak the frame
Indeed Levi, I'd have to say that Fido agrees!I was looking on Kelly blue book today for the trade in value for a 2019 Ford Ranger super crew xlt 4x4 and the value was 27000 to 28000 and change, the miles on the trade was 2700 miles, so it looks like to me the Ranger is totaled and Carfax would hit it hard for damage and value.
Just saying , I'm not a genius but ect...

Good assessment of the matter! Thankyou. In Michigan & Ohio u may pick ur own repair shop as well. Ppl sometimes just go along w/ all the Ins Co recommends . Choose ur own well qualified an recommended shop always.I'll give you an expert opinion if you want one and if you accept it. A couple of items to make sure we are one the same page. First off, that is not a 25 MPH impact. My 30 plus years in collision and structural repair experience indicates far greater speed was involved causing that damage. Angle of impact is highly important as well. The truck did it's job and you should be thankful for that. I enjoy performing a frame swap. That's the easy part. The other damage that is present can/could be a tremendous amount of work. If a qualified tech is in charge of the repair, the truck will be fine. That's the unknown factor in the situation. In Kentucky, you have the right to pick your repair facility. Would I personally be comfortable performing the repair, absolutely. I've seen other so-called techs that I wouldn't trust to repair my wheelbarrow. It's the same in any job. Some people care, some don't. That's why malpractice insurance exist because not all medical doctors are created equal. Do some research and choose your repair facility wisely, drive it and then decide if you are comfortable with it.
