Default Will this buff out? UPDATED WITH ESTIMATE

Very bad Saturday night. My fault but thankfully my girlfriend, two daughters, and daughter's friend were not hurt. I am really beating myself up on this one. Hope it's totaled

Update. The estimate is over 21k dollars worth of damage. The body shop is considering it a total loss. i have yet to hear from my insurance company.

Ouch! Glad everyone is OK - that is all that matters. The truck can be replaced. Yours looks pretty new - 2011 i'm guessing? I am guessing your frame is pretty messed up as is that rear axle. Probably got your driveshaft too which in turn might have jacked up the output on your transmission. Then there is the obvious body damage. And those airbags aren't cheap to replace. If I were a bettin man, I'd bet that it is totalled. But, I have heard of crazy things like body shops replacing the entire frame...so you never know. But that looks like a decent amount of damage you have there.

Oh - add two wheels and tires to the mix as well. Cha-ching.

I'll bet if you clay bar it and apply a liberal coat of a good quality paint sealant you'd never notice it!

J/k - glad no one was hurt.

The side airbags will deploy when you get hit from the side and there is a chance that your head will hit the window. It is to protect your head!
