    No experience with Caliber but Unfortunately I've had to take my truck twice to mossy toyota collision for 2 different, not at fault accidents. Repairs were legit and fast I recommend mossy.

    I took a fender to caliber back in the day for my mom's car. They can't color match worth shit. They also did a tail gate and bumper for my dad's truck. They don't tighten the bolts down well. This was at the Murrieta location

    If it is on their insurance I would go through a Toyota dealer collision center. On a brand new truck like that it better be pretty damn perfect. I would not let them make the decision on where you get it fixed. You have the right to take it anywhere you want to get the repairs done and their adjuster has to work with whoever you choose.

    THIS!! Go to Toyota and make the person's insurance pay for it. The other option is to pocket the insurance check and get a pelfreybilt rear bumper. I know for a fact that toyota charges $335 for a new bumper and $335 for a new hitch (at least on 2014-15 models). There is no reason to take it to a place you have to worry about since you don't have to pay for it.

    As said above by Dave and Matt, take it to the Toyota collision center for repair, nothing but OEM parts unless requested...

    Crawl around there with a flashlight and look for any frame buckling or any cracks. You could go get a 4 wheel alignment to see if anything had shifted in the rear. Aside from that I wouldn't lose any sleep over it

    That sounds like me, except for the trasharoo. I have a green pelican case and high lift on the front rack.
