    Hi guys!

    My baby got crashed into today...:( I was driving through an intersection on green and the other driver didn't wait to make a left and hit me!

    My taco was paid off, 2014 4X4, with 15k miles...do you guys think its salvageable or a total loss?

    is there anything I should be aware of or do?

    Please and thanks....I miss her already...

    Just make sure you and the fam are ok. Your insurance will take care of it. DO NOT SALVAGE IT. Get a new taco

    If it's paid off take the insurance check and buy a new one. No need to salvage. It's totaled.

    Glad you're ok. Sorry about your truck. Hope you get a good settlement. Don't take their first offer. Hold out a little as some companies are measured on how quick they settle their claims.

    i mean.... realistically it was a trd sport.... so not really a loss in the first place.

    Just kidding man. That sucks, but the most important thing is you and your family are safe.

    Looks like the rear axle was hit hard enough to break / bend things on the rear.... honestly i wouldnt accept it back, it will never be the same.

    Least this is a good opportunity to to upgrade to a 2016 TRD off road 4x4 so you get some actual functionality other than a fake hood scoop. :D


    (you gotta always laugh in life so long as your health of you and your family is ok, just remember that!)
