you guys who are surprised to see it being totaled need to take a better look at the interior pictures, it does look like a lot of sh*t has moved in there. MNFX4, that reminds me of a wild night with the bosses during an internship 15 years ago... dinner, drinks, strippers, hookers and at 7am, boss is like "hey youngster, take my car back to work, would you?"... young-and-stupid me did it, fell asleep on the right lane and drifted against the front wheels of a big rig passing me... his hubcaps scratching the driver door woke me up quick...
The driver side didn't look too bad to me at all. Must have twisted majority of the body. Probably part of the frame as well from impact. Even though all of the blunt force hit the driver side, the body panels have to go somewhere when theres force against them. Glad to see it held up this well and you're fine! Next time... If you want a different color, just trade it in

I need to come back to Canada and hang out with you. Every time I see you post, you mention hookers or strippers lol. I need to visit in the spring/summer time. Winter projects were too cold for this guy. You Canadians know how to party though!

It was pretty and red is the color I like the least! I was just giving you a hard time. I hope you have a good insurance agency and adjusters that will take care of you. Think you fell asleep? I fell asleep on I-20 and rolled my 2008 GMC Denali Duramax, loved that truck too. It's amazing how the metal gets thinner but stronger by design over the years.

That really stinks. I'm glad you're ok. It's scary easy to drift a little in the wrong spot and do something like that. I have a ruby red too... My favorite color! I haven't experienced the rear end hop talked about on the forum. Maybe I haven't hit the right kind of bump.

I doubt the frame was even touched/affected.And yes,when impacted,them body panels need to go somewhere,just like any minor damaged body panel impact,that is repaired/not wrote off.Its great he's getting a new truck,but if they originally said "repair,not replace" I wouldn't be surprised. I've seen much worse damage repaired and not replaced. That's just IMHO of course.
