Does This Look Totaled?

Snow fall onto roof from a tree above.

Just for transparency, I know the answer. I just find it funny so many say "Frame isn't bent and no airbags deployed, so it's fixable."

Not the case, my friends.

 

What can you do in your case? I take it it won't just "pop out"

 

Everything is fixable just depends how much it's gonna take. What was the year of your truck? My guess based on your post is that was totaled. Every case is always about cost vs, value, NOT reparability.

 

2013 SR5 DCSB Prerunner. 57k miles.

That picture represents $19,400 in damage. Truck is totaled, and I'm driving it every day until it's paid for. It's completely fine to drive, and the only obvious issue is the lowered head clearance.

 

What you don't see is a destroyed cab. Windshield is bent on both sides, cab is pinched on both sides of the truck, on both front and rear. Rear window is compressed and under tension, cab seam under drip rail molding is compromised and has water intrusion into cab.

 

Yes, that is totalled. Once the structural integrity of the roof has been compromised, most of time they get written off. Because if they were to repair it, it may not hold up again in say a roll over. Insurance Co's don't want that liability.

My bet is the OP's truck is totalled too! I hit a deer last year and had significantly less visible damage, and my claim was over 10k.

 

God that sucks man, bummer. You mentioned a full size truck was "10 years out". Maybe not anymore eh?

 

Damn. Fucking snow

 

Nothing to do with liability. Cost to repair / value of vehicle is nearly 100%.

 

Waiting for my payout this coming week but replacing it with a full size.

 

Dude, it like, better be a Tundra man

 

So what it looks like right now is headlights, grill, inner and outer drivers side fender, bumper, radiator, core support. Not great, but I'm trying to somehow remain optimistic.

 

What do you have in mind?

 

Any daytime pictures?

 

Good luck OP!

 

I understand that...

It cost so much to repair because they can't just pop it out or bondo it. The have to cut it all out and weld new in to restore structurally integrity.

My sister was t-boned in a minivan and it rolled onto its side. When the adjuster was out looking at the damage and found a crease in the edge of the roof about the drivers side sliding door. He didn't even bother evaluating the rest of the damage. Just declared it totalled because the structural integrity of the roof was compromised and too expensive to repair.

 

Yeah, some close ups to come in a few minutes.

Very nice! Sorry about your truck though.
