Hi, New Tacoma owner just got rear-ended on wednesday

Only a permit? Did she even have a legal driver in the car with her?
Sorry about your truck, dude. From the pic, it looks like only the bumper and some cosmetics, but I would definitely check out under the truck, seeing as that's where her car ended up. You could have some tweaks and bends under there.
Oh, and welcome to Tacomaworld!

 

she was on it the entire time. cop was yelling at her.

thanks. i'm sorry about it too.

 

no other driver with her, just her and her phone. i think it may just be cosmetics as well, but i have been told to make sure that they check the under parts like leaf springs and frame. thanks for the friendly welcome. it's a very cool forum.

 

she was on the entire time. prolly what got her in this situation in the first place.

 

that one is nice. I like the rugged looks of it. my insurance said they are taking care of it. I haven't called the other driver's insurance. I'll see today what my autobody place tells me. thanks.

that's nice. i hope that i can ask the auto place for one like that. is it stronger than the oem one?

 

no. the cat was diagnosed by the vet last week. we think it's got about a week-month left.

 

i just want it back to the original state. luckily, nothing except the bumper, the tailgate wasn't even touched, but i'll let the autobody place truly check it out.

hopefully, i can get an upgrade to a plate bumper.

Strong? Oh yes. The holes in bumper are for lifting it with a hi jack. I've only used them to pull outposts out of ground with tow chain

 

Welcome to TW, the best site ever!!!

 

got the estimate back and around 2800 for it all. had to replace the hitch (1200 oem) but they said that i could use the plate bumper (relentless model) as a replacement. so still nice. maintenance light came on, but i assume it's because i finally crossed the 500 mile mark. thanks for the heads up.

 

The same thing happened to me yesterday... This is my second Toyota & my first new truck. I know how you feel.... I haven't even owned mine for 2 weeks.

 

worst feeling ever, and it was out of your control. got the truck back from the autobody (caliber) insurance wouldn't authorize the aftermarket bumper, so got the oem one from toyota. so looks like my truck again. sucks, but at least it's back. bought myself a ball hitch to try to karma my way out of being hit again, but when it does happen again, ball will get it first.

btw, got CAI from AEM. they really make a nice sound when you rev it up. thanks for the support.
