Totaled 3D gen /questions / check out the pics !

Long story short avoided two stopped cars in the very left lane of a 4 lane interstate. Downshifted breaked quickly to 35mph then was rear ended by a f150 traveling at about 70 mph which pushed me into a Ford Flex further causing a 6 car accident. No one was hurt besides bumps and bruises. My airbags did not go off but that was good cause I limped my car to the side of the road after the crash. The f150 air bags went off. Overall the f150 was at fault. This truck served me way better then any other, and I’m thankful for how it held up. To note I was not at fault

Insurance: will they cover exhaust magnaflow; intake afe, front runnner roof racks, sliders, and camper ? Or should I go pull it all off today at the wreck yard. I owned the truck out right fully paid off. I want to just get the value of the truck and some of the parts and then get myself a replacement. Does anyone have experience with this or any recommendations with insurance ..?



Side note * At this point the only thing that eases my mind is to get a pro.

 

Truck is beyond thrashed but it looks like it did it’s job by keeping you safe.

My vote is definitely go pro.

 

When you add/modify stuff on your truck you need to let your insurance agent know ASAP because they will provide additional coverage for the mods. Not sure if you can do anything after the fact.

PS: Glad you're OK Taco bro...

 

Holy crap man that is pretty nasty and as long as you are ok get the Pro man!

 

Id pull the stuff off, when my wrx was totaled the only thing insurance help cover was my rims.

 

Wow , glad you are ok . These trucks sure take a beating and do well at protecting people .

 

Wow, glad you are ok. That’s a scary wreck. If insurance won’t cover your aftermarket stuff, pull it off. If you’re wanting a pro, now is the perfect opportunity! No trade in hassle!

 

That'll buff out.

 

She gave her life to protect you, give her a big hug. Pull your upgrades for your new truck.

 

Wow! thats insane! Glad to hear you are okay! for all the little issues with the 3rd gen's have they deffintly make up for it with protecting the occupants!

 

Call your insurance agent and find out, but it sure seems like there is no way that topper isn't damaged.

Glad everyone walked away!

 

yea insurance said if i provide receipts for anything that I bought for the truck and its on it; Everything will be covered but they said if it was my fault that would be a different story. So I'm thinking leave the majority of the stuff on the truck then go get myself a 6 speed TRD pro in cement. That's where I'm at right now. Overall I'm just so amazed at how soft the impact was when the F-150 hit me. And the fact that I was still able to put it in first gear and drive it to the shoulder is crazy!!

 

Buy some lottery tickets, glad you made it out alive.

 

Be prepared. Normally in chain type accidents like that, everyone pays for the car in front of them. Hopefully someone was ticketed and fault assigned but I've seen a lot of these where the middle cars will be deemed at fault for hitting the vehicle in front of them. Glad everyone's ok and I'm sorry about the truck.

Glad to hear you're safe! The Taco did it's job, and did a fine job at that considering the circumstances of the accident. I'm sorry to hear about the truck, but in the end things will work out! Gives me a lot of faith, knowing that it protected you in an accident like that.

 

Happened on halloween, my insurance needed receipts for everything I bought. The wheels, tires and level kit. Meeting with agent in a few days to finalize the pay out

 

That new 980 MPa ultra-high-strength steel they are using in these 3rd gens cabs frames looks like it is doing its job. Strength in the cab has tripled compared to other gens.

I'l pay for shipping on those wheels!

 

How is it that the air bags did not inflate?
