    Doesnt look too bad, at least by the pics. If thats all that happened and no air bags went off your truck will get fixed. See if the body shop will work with you getting a pro grill and a beefy bumper

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Dang you guys got out well that's what counts. Looks totalled to be honest. Bags deployed and such...

    To make matters worse for the other truck, a semi tried to go around us and ended up sliding into her truck

    I just know from my experience and from my family at least, when our car saved our life, we would get that car again just knowing our family is safe. As another member said, your cars can be replaced, you can't.

    Stay safe out there friend.

    Every single air bag deployed. I think I counted 8 total. Never had the pleasure of knowing what deployed air bags smelled like until today. It was bad. Hopefully never again.

    Glad everyone is OK... sorry for your loss bro...

    On a very positive side, head on collision and no-one hurt. Good to see the safety features working as designed.

    I had a head on collision in a Honda only going 25MPH if that same type of deal, I eventually ended up in ICU on the table flat lined, still have lingering injuries that never healed. I originally walked away but internal injuries = torn aorta due to no air bag and seat belt injuries. My reason for going to a larger vehicle..

    Trucks can be replaced. I would veer away from the 3rd Gen until Toyota fix their "issues".

    2 Gen Taco, Tundra or an 80 series Land Cruiser………

    Glad your okay!
