Is my truck going to be totalled???

Got hit last night and am sad for my truck. Im worried because the horrible dent in the cab do they replace entire cabs??

 

What does that mean??

 

That certainly won't buff out. Doubt it will be totaled.

 

Think he's talking about diminished value after an accident.

 

Highly doubt it will be totaled

 

It does not appear to be totaled. Depends on the state and insurance company if you can claim diminished value. Good luck!

 

Not even close to totalled. The cab corner can be replaced. Looks like a new outer bedside for sure. Best thing you can do is take it to a reputable body shop for an estimate, not a friend of friend that fixes cars on the weekend.

 

Ya. I take it in today to Toyota. Terrified it will be totaled. But great news if they can fix the cab. I was thinking they would have to replace the whole thing. Was getting a lift next week

 

Toyota doesn't offer a complete cab. It's in pieces. Here's a picture of what it looks like.



PNC 61611 is the cab corner. Any good shop will cut the damaged part from your truck and weld the new one in. I work at a dealer with a body shop and I 've seen it done all the time and when it's all done, you can't tell.

 

No where near totaled unless that frame is really bent under there. Highly doubt that though. Air bags didnt deploy

 

Damage would have to exceed 70% of the value of the truck, it will be fixed.

 

Yayyyy!! Thx everyone!!!

 

Lol I wouldn’t be as happy. I’d be pissed that it happened and pissed that it won’t be the same.

I’d only be happy that no one got hurt. If that’s the case here

 

Sucks, hope it all goes for the best. I hope my rock-sliders come in soon lots of accidents this time of year thanks to slippery conditions and bad drivers.

 

They will cut that section out...looks like about 7k-8k
