2008 lariat 115 000 kms. Roughly 70k miles
There is a small gap on the drivers door. I hit the other vehicle who ran the red on her frame.

Sorry for your loss, but that's the benefit of a big truck! I see the ambulance in the background so I hope everyone is safe.

I had a Corolla turn left in front of me once. Hit him square on the B-pillar. Caved in the doors, spun the car over the sidewalk and through a fence. The car was totalled. My brush guard was damaged and I broke a plastic headlight housing. Cost me almost 400 bucks.

Good to see that ur safe. Sucks that ur truck was in an accident though. It doesn't look like it's too bad, but without being there, it's kind hard to determine the extent of the damage

No way to determine frame damage from those pictures. But I would say you need a bit of a frame straighten with the broken window and damage nowhere near the point of impact. But like I said, no way to tell from those pictures. You need a body shop to make sure it is still within spec.

I'm no autobody expert but it looks like it buckled it fairly good. Glad (assuming) you weren't hurt.

So heres an update
surface damage is around 7500. The body shop at my ford dealership will be tearing it down and adding the glass possible damage to the frame a new tire and the rest of what they discover to that bill so it may be fixable still im hoping....but the drivers door doesn't sit properly anymore, it sits closer at the bottom and the top is further out so they will be checking my frame out due to the signs of possible frame damage there's a bit of room to repair as they valued my truck around 24000 $
