Got in an accident Sunday

[Timothyd]

Hope you are ok Tim!
The Maverick can be fixed or replaced. Send a photo or 2 when you are up to it.
God Speed on that recovery!

I found a shop to fix it.

Surprised. Seems like it would hit the percentage that insurance would total it.

@Timothyd I take it you got discharged from the hospital? That's a good sign.
Your Maverick looks better than I anticipated given you hit a tree.
Hope both you and the Mav are back to your old selves soon!

Wow! I have seen the insurance total a maverick for a lot less damage.
I hope they do a nice job and you get the truck back the way you want it.
Glad you are out and doing better! keep us posted with the progress.
Best of luck

Shouldn't the air bags deploy on a front end collision

I’d have guessed it was totaled too. Maybe being a more expensive Lariat made the difference.

Yeah, but that adds to the cost, with the ACC module being in the front.
At a minimum it seems to need an entire front clip, subframe, passenger front suspension and wheel & tire. Most likely passenger rocker trim piece. Can’t tell but would expect the door has some damage, and who knows what else in the engine bay (radiator, condenser, etc). Can’t tell if any air bags went off, those are costly.
So if not totaled! has to be very close. Maybe shop will end up there after they take a closer look.

Certainly can see how OP got knocked out, glad he is ok.

As much as I love my Mav, if it was mine, I’d hope they would total it. Plus the resale would suck now too.

Yeah! You would have thought. They didn't and I have the bruises and bumps on my head and body to prove it.

Thanks! I'm still running pretty slow. Given the way I was feeling and looking I expected worse from the Maverick too. I'm hoping it's repairable. I won't know till it gets towed to the shop. I don't know about waiting another couple of years for another one. I wonder what the magic $ is for it to get totaled?

That really sucks.
I'm glad you're okay, you were very lucky my friend.

Get yourself well, then get your Maverick well. Best of luck to you.

Okay, I found a shop to drag it to for an estimate. No guarantees if they're going to fix it. I hope so, it sure was stressful acquiring it in the first place.

Yeah, probably a long list of details that are going to push it into negative territory, I'll find out Monday hopefully. It's still at the tow yard. I've already contacted my dealership/ salesman on a replacement. Nothing is going to happen quickly. Big bummer all the way around. I waited so long for it too.
I'm thinking the shop might not even want to tackle it, being new and weird.

 

[Timothyd]

Get yourself well, then get your Maverick well. Best of luck to you.

Yup, thanks. Both of us are pretty beat up.

 

[JBryant]

Get well Tim. Mavericks can be replaced, Tim’s can’t.
