Been doing some research and excellent value of my truck is $12500 due to the mileage. Now I made a lit of parts I know will have to be replaced. These are parts I can see so I'm sure there is more I can't see. I looked up prices on everything and so far on parts alone is $6345.63. This isn't counting any labor, paint, and time on frame machine if that's needed.

I am with Exitwound ans hate those POS illegals. One nearly killed me 2 years ago whne his uninsured Pathfinder broadsided my f150 at 55 mph. You should have squared up and just killed him and done all of us a favor. Oh and sorry about the truck....

Good luck with the insurance!

Glad ur ok as its been said! If I could get out of my truck, I would have beat the **** out of someone that had no insurance and license and was probably illegal. Cant get in trouble for beating up someone that doesnt exist in the laws eyes.

I found out that they didn't deploy because of the nature of the hit at the angle. It didn't create enough forward pressure to set off the sensors. And I'm glad.

wow...I've told my wife for years that bigger = better...and backed it up with the Crash Test Data for the F-150

showed her the pictures you posted and now she is seeing the light


Glad you and your boy are fine, hope the illegal has internal injuries. On the plus side, the 08's are pretty cheap right now if you can find one...hell, a 09 model might have your name on it

Good to hear your all ok, sad about the truck, but it's just a vehicle, it can and will be replaced.

Update. I had to go clean the truck completely out yesterday because the insurance company is coming to get it today. I probably won't see it again. Since the weather was better I was able to inspect the truck more. The entire cab shifted back and towards the passenger side. The cab is over 1/2" closer to the bed on the passenger side. The passenger side doors are also out of alignment. And when I looked up underneath, the body mounts have all been shifted. Looks like I took a much harder hit than I initially thought. Mine and Silas' unscathed condition is a testament as to how well the F150 is built.
