Totaled or not?

Well I got in my very first accident in my new Tacoma I got back in November..... There was a wreck as I was passing by and everyone in front of me braked quickly... unfortunately since I looked over for a split second at the wreck I ended up rear ending the ford focus in front of me ;(. I got full coverage and Gap so Im not too worried but I can't really tell if this would be considered totaled or not? My drivers side door wouldnt open.... air bags did not deploy. I will contact my insurance tomorrow but in the mean time just curious what you guys think? I know if the frame is bent its usually considered totaled but I cant tell.... Totaled or nah?

 

Damn, sorry to hear... Glad u r safe tho. I'd probably say totaled... Too much got crunched, so frame probably got touched...

Kinda sad to see how crumply our trucks are... Safety I guess...

 

Yikes. Looks totaled.

 

Duct tape that bad boy.

 

Yikes, looks like your whole front end needs replacing, right front quarter panel, sounds like your door got crumpled a bit, whatever under the hood got shifted, and possibly the frame? Could definitely be totaled

How fast were you going? The breaker for me is the frame. Could be ok if there's no frame damage.

 

Not even close to being totaled!

 

this

 

That will buff out

 

Is this an 18? If so, did the TSS not kick in?

Ps sorry to see the truck like that.

 

Same thing happened to me. $12k later the truck was fixed. Whole front end had to be replaced but it’s good as new.

 

X3
ain’t even close by a country mile

 

Sure hope so.

 

I’m thinking 10-12k in damages

 

Yep. Frame is likely still in spec, but needs to be put on a frame machine to be sure.

 

Was it towed from the scene? If you drove it home it probably won't be totaled. Not that would be an indicator.

 

this is a 2016. I wasn't going fast and very shocked of how much damage there was on mine....they also just paved the roads so it was extra slick... not making excuses because It was def my fault... I would have braked way sooner if I wasnt distracted by the first crash haha... her ford focus just had some dents in her bumper! haha.

 

Would also like to know the answer to this! Is that an OEM or ChinaPRO? Looks like it held up!

@TacoGlenn81 The picture won’t tell us enough to answer this, only the assessor and body shop can answer your question about being totaled.

*Edit, you answered our question as I was posting this...

 

Maybe it's not that bad then! Hope it all works out.

 

yes it was towed from the scene....the officer said that the airbags could still deploy so it was undrivable. The drivers side door wouldnt open so thats why some said it could be frame damage but not sure... hopefully find out tomorrow.
