Like the title says. I was rear-ended by a semi at about 20 mph or so. I was lucky and the crumple zones did their job, but also unlucky in that regard as the hidden damage was extensive. Damage estimate was over $27,000 so it ended up being a total loss. Really liked the truck, luckily I still have my 2017 F-150 so I'm not in any hurry to replace.
After doing some research I was surprised to see how many Mavericks wind up totaled, even with less visual damage than mine. I understand it though...unibody construction with frame damage, typical in many modern cars. And it's a commom-sense trade off, people are harder to repair or replace. Doesn't make it suck any less though.
Honestly, I signed up for this forum just to share my story after seeing others experiences here and on Reddit. Easier to swallow when you know your experience isn't all that uncommon.
