Rear ended but no damage to my truck what should I do?

Hi guys I was rear ended but no damaged to my truck should I need to worry? He hit my beaver step and damaged his car. I got his insurance info. Any advice my truck is 2018 trd offroad double cab. 4x4. Thanks

 

Keep on driving...and brag to your friends about how you got rear ended with no damage. This is what having a truck is about

 

Ya... let him know he should have bought a Tacoma

 

Glad to hear there was no damage. That step looks like something you could hit your shin on.

 

Yeah man! That's whyI posted this pics, should I need to go to shop to make them check it if there's any internal damage? Speep limit was 35 mph, I was stop in stop light when it was happened.

 

I had a Ram2500 Cummins once upon a time. Got a hitch and two weeks later got rear ended. Some 17 heay old in his dad's cars. Hitch hit dead center of the license plate. I laughed, he cried. Ive run a hitch on every vehicle ever since.

 

Thanks man so far I haven't hit my shin on it. This was another reason why I put that beaver step on my truck to add protection.

 

Give yourself peace of mind, have your local body shop take a peek if you're friends with them. It looks like nothing to me a black sharpie cannot fix on your end.

 

Go get the truck inspected. All that impact force transferred from the beaver tail into your hitch, and you could easily have bent/damaged hitch mounting hardware.

I was recently rear-ended in a very similar way, but much, much harder. My hitch and mounting hardware took some serious damage.

 

This. A civic rear ended me once when I had a tundra and a hitch...shoved his hood into his windshield shattering it. Scratched my hitch. Still laughed about it years later

 

I have use for my step and it's been great for that, and this....

 

Smitybuilt Beaver tail saved my tail a couple of times already

 

Will his insurance will cover for the inspection?

 

Not sure, it may if your willing to report it. I have a body shop I visited probally five times with a GLI & GTI back in the day that was a magnet for DUMB PEOPLE. So to this day I could stop in and he would check it out for free if need be.

 

If I report it, it will be in my record or my truck car fax record?

 

Yes I think so anyway, if no police showed up and you don't report it and they don't report it NO

 

I got hit hard enough to slide the bumper out of alignment, but not damage it. I loosened the bolts and re-aligned it, and it was fine.

So I called the person who hit me and told her no harm, no foul. It made her day, she was super relieved!

 

Yeah, if that’s all it did to the plastic Tupperware cover, don’t even bother getting it checked out.

I use this on the hitch. Great for wheeling, as well as a step.

I like this one, do you get a lot of rattling over bumps?

 

I got rear ended, with no fault of mine, but it still showed up on my record for insurance reasons. Don't contact your insurance unless you need to get repairs done
