    When I got hit (see post #5) the guy behind me was stopped and thought it was time to go when the guy next to him moved forward a few inches...he was only doing maybe 1-2mph when he hit.

    Haha.

    Update: Adjuster came out, said he will give me a new bumper, new hitch, new hitch cover and a new electrical hook up. Said I can take it to the dealership and if they determine I need anything else fixed or the frame is bent, he will approve it no problem. Said the frame still looks perfect but will have the dealership look at it just in case.

    So the next step is to take it to the dealership (which I was going to do anyway), and have them fix it, once it approved.

    Ha Ha I wish I was BS trucks gone now I am driving a 2010 4runner. I have had State Farm for over 30 years the 18 yo girl that hit me while texting also had Stae Farm. I work for Toyota at the dealership level at the time of my accident there was not a frame available in the country Toyota said about a month till they had one.

    Holy crap I have state farm as well!!!

    I wonder why they didn't total mine?

    Frames are NOT available they have to be made which takes 6-8 weeks.


    Makes me curious now....

    when a body shop starts to fix your car they will definitly find more damage then the adjuster from the insurance company claimed . thats when the body shop will put in a supplement to the insurance company for the extra repairsadjuster did not see. it will all work out. its a common practice for this. just stay on top of the body shop and tell them you want your frame looked at because of hitch and that your concernd about hidden damage.:D
