    Same thing happened to me, hitch punched a hole in the radiator right through to the engine pullies. They tried to run but couldn't escape the wrath of the taco. Then when they stopped they asked "Is it good if the car is leaking green stuff?" :rofl:

    Maybe the audible alert was turned off and he relied on it so much that he didn't bother looking

    The BSM was broken so no alerts.

    The broken BSM was the reason he brought it to the dealership.

    I need a whale harpoon on the back of my truck too, maybe one of these?

    This is actually illegal in many places. Lots of states have laws against having anything that extends out mounted in the hitch when no in use for the exact reason of the severe damage it could cause in a collision.

    OP, you’re 18. We have all been there, and been screwed. It was good of you to ask for advice on this situation, most people wouldn’t even bother asking for help, so good on you for doing it. That bumper piece, if I remember, is about $130 bucks, so call the repair $250 for time and paint. I’m rounding here; don’t hate. It shouldn’t be reported to anyone. I had a car hit me on the back in my old truck, the damage was $200 and it was never reported to car fax, and that was going through insurance. Take the free repair and loaner car and rack up the miles on the loaner car. Got any errands to run far away, do it while you have the rental.

    Yep. If you see a SSM Tacoma with a messed up bumper there, you know who owns it.

    Ok , drop the harpoon idea and go back to a plain old ball hitch with a tennis ball stuck on it. :pout:Some of you guys put cute little Claymore replicas on it but that could also be a problem in higher security areas or if a EOD guy disrupts it just for kicks.

    So, seriously, (and i dont agree) but even that is illegal in some places.

    I actually didnt know the ball hitch was. I guess thats why they don’t permanently attach them to accessory bumpers anymore.

    I get what everyone is saying here... basically life is short, this stuff happens move on, etc. BUT, it is kind of crappy that the dealership did not offer something above and beyond simply fixing the truck that they wrecked. I mean how hard would it have been for them to have made a little effort here and offered something extra for the trouble.
