Agreed.

Please let me know when it goes to auction, so I can totally avoid that.

Sorry for your mishap Gotta love driving the interstates I don’t tailgate trucks but one threw a rock about 50 feet and now my windshield is chipped

I-95 is like a gauntlet. Sorry to hear this happened. I'd be very upset. Hopefully they can get the parts and your insurance company is good to deal with.

Well, they won't keep it due to the recall, just in case nobody mentioned that already.
But protection for the lower grille openings has been something that's concerned me on a lot of previous vehicles I've owner. Perhaps there's a good business opportunity for one of our vendors to look into. Some sort of easily installed insert to help protect these vital components from road debris would also be welcomed and a worthy investment.

Just drop in a few raw eggs while your at it! Plug them holes just fine. Lol.

Tell your insurance company the truth. They know all the stories.

Yep, and unless the deductible is that high, probably worth it. It may count as a comprehensive claim, so make sure you're covered for that. Those tend to not count against you as much as collision claims. What it falls under will be determined by the insurance adjuster based on the exact sequence of events. Sometimes they'll consider an object or animal that is moving as a comprehensive claim while considering hitting an unmoving/dead animal/object as a collision claim.

Yep. Never say it was just sitting in the road and you hit a stationary object. Instantly that's collision and the deductible is usually pretty high. Many comp coverage have zero or very low deductible.

If the object was moving another vehicle kicked it into your path. Comp claim.

If only deer had to maintain insurance for when they hit you, because of course that happened to me around the corner from home... Then I could've filed the claim on its policy.

Who do you think they would use, Geico or Aflac?

Thread Title is a little deceptive, don't you think?
This is more of an accident.
Title leads one to believe it is a factory defect or poor build.

Put your order in for a 24 next month. Make up the difference when you sell this one +. Keep on truckin>>>--

What a misleading title, it makes sound like the Maverick broke down, instead some flew up and punctured the radiator.

Putco and Mountains2Metal both make one for the 5g Ranger, so probably a good place to start.
