    Well, it happened to me. Everyone is fine but I don't think they are gonna be able to save her. Keeping my fingers crossed it can be fixed, the chassis doesn't appear to have any damage but Im not an expert and have no clue. It sure is f'ed up though.

    What do you guys think. Totaled or save-able?

    Little tree air fresheners. Clazzio black leather seat covers.
    A good clay bar and wax job will do wonders. Glad to hear everyone is okay.

    Glad everyone is ok. Two doors, rocker, B pillar, floor damage, interior parts. Air bags?. Looks like it might be totaled. Adds up quick. Maybe better if it is totaled Remember they make new Tacoma's everyday.

    Glad everyone is alright. But total it. Buy it back n fix her. It doesn't look too bad. Fix it up for a dedicated offroad rig. Going to an auction next week to look at a couple 3rd gens from insurance auction.

    I would rather it be totaled, from the looks of the damage it may cause problems in the future even if it's repaired. Over half of your truck will have to be painted to blend the paint correctly. Looks like damage to the door pillars and rocker panels too, it's gonna cost a bundle to repair.

    No air bags, still drivable. They do make new ones everyday. I was 1/2 though the lease on this one. Was looking forward to buying it lol.

    Did the airbags deploy? If so, than it’s usually totaled. Hope you had Gap insurance. I would go with a new one if you had gap, assuming you didn’t put too much down on the first one and isn’t have too many mods you’d have to redo.

    Glad everyone is ok.

    1) Make sure everyone involved goes to see a doctor if you haven't done so already.

    To answer your question tbh I don't think that's totalled. Doesn't look any airbags deployed. If the chassis is fine I think they'll just repair.

    Not apples to apples, but this was mine when it was written off

    Is the frame still straight underneath? The insurance company might just replace the two doors if the frame is still intact.
    The damages have to be 70-80% of the value of the truck before they total it.
