    My entire rear right quarter pannel is bent beyond repair there was a slight impack on the body, will i need to replace the whole bed and could there be any frame damage from this, the bumper looks gone but the tow hitch seems aligned still. After some bending was still able to drive the truck home. The breaklights are not working but signals are still, and to shift into reverse the emergency shifter relese needs to be pushed.

    I was reversing too fast and was not paying attention behind me, a large stone post at the end of a fence got the best of my bed.

    Slight impact is one way to put it.

    Show a pic of the inside of the bed but dollars to donuts it's junk. I had a tree limb fall on the rail a few years ago and the bed inside is one piece, wasn't repairable and it took far less of a hit than yours seems to have.

    Just turn it in on your insurance and find a good repair shop. Sh*t happens and that's what insurance is for.

    That sucks. I damaged my rear door the other day and found a used one for 180$, I'm happy haha.

    Hopefully you can get this sorted but its pretty substantial, I'd be going through insurance if possible.

    Slim chance the bed inside can be saved, but I highly doubt it.

    For my 2010 RC 6 foot bed and driver's side quarter was about 3000 or a tad more.

    It seems your question was. Do we think the frame is ok? I would think it will be, if not it will be the easiest of the things damaged to fix.

    Replace the bed and bumper with junkyard parts. Rent cutting torch.

    Damn dude, that sucks. If you dont have any priors / not worried about your insurance going up Id file a claim. You will need to replace a lot of stuff there..
    Fender, bedrail cap, taillight, rear cross sill (what the tailgate mounts to), tailgate, bumper and associated brackets, and unfortunately looks like a whole new composite tub too

    Backup cam was the best upgrade I ever did to any vehicle. $100ish Boss unit came with the camera and works great. I don’t care much for the CD player tho.

    Insurance companies are garbage these days.

    You may be better off trying to find a used bed and see if they can pay to straighten out the frame.

    Not sure there is any frame damage. I think he just missed the hitch and frame rail

    That’s why you pay all this money in insurance, USE IT, it’s there turn to pay.
