Where in the world would they even get parts for it? Of course they will total it. That truck itself is now worth more in parts than it was before as an intact vehicle.
Praise God no one was badly hurt.From a group I'm in --
We got an XLT Lux 4K 10/26, (someone's unwanted order). Drove 3 1/2 hours one way to get it, had the worst dealer experience in Beatrice, NE. Took it on its first long haul yesterday and it was great! Great mpg, great ride, easy in the NE/WY wind. Then it went deer hunting on the way home. Neither it or the little buck survived sadly. I, however, am fine. For a little truck it did an amazing job keeping me safe after hitting dead on. Beyond airbag burn and bruises, I'm fine. There were airbags everywhere, the emergency response features were solid, it was mashed but had enough in it to get me off the interstate (it was pitch black, windy as crap, and semis were out in full force.) It had a little less than 1300 miles on it, we will buy another.

Thanks for posting this. The Maverick seems like it did it's job well and the people walked away. It would be interesting if you can post any follow up on whether or not the truck gets totaled or repaired. The front end damage doesn't look to bad, however, getting parts might be the real struggle right now. Too bad it couldn't be sent back to the assembly line for a refit!From a group I'm in --

Got to think about the damage inside too with airbag deployment.
Yeah, I was thinking about that too, I know in the past once an airbag was deployed the car was pretty much a write off, but I've reading where nowadays that's not always the case. I guess it really comes down who you have for a insurance company.
