I wouldn't worry too much about it because it sounds like nothing worse than a fender bender. Check the axles and frames though before you do anything serious alright.

Wow, sorry to hear that! I would definitely check the frame and spare rack to make sure nothing moved. Also, look at the rear end and drive line to be certain nothing got stuffed. Hope everyone is ok.

Best way to get everything checked is to take it to a alignment shop and tell them you just got rear-ended and wanted to make sure everything is ok....... if they try to sell you a bunch of stuff- go get another opinion..

Sorry to hear about your accident, would definately take it to a shop and have them check everything out on your truck. Good luck with everything and hopefully nothing to serious is wrong with your truck.

Take it to Queensway Auto Body on Belmont and Gage. I got rear ended in a Nissan Sentra to the tune of $4,000.00 and they fixed it perfectly.

Make sure the bumper brackets are not bent as well. Any time the bumper is struck, the brackets that attach it to the frame take the full force of the impact as well.

Have a qualified shop look at it. They will know what to look for.
