I don't think this will buff out :) But my wife and I are both fine

[BouseBill]

To start out my wife and I are both fine, nothing broken, just bruised for the both of us. Can't say the same for the "lil Nanny truck"

We were on our way home when a Chevy Dually traveling the opposite direction crossed the double yellow and sideswiped our little Maverick. It would have been a head on but I managed to serve so the Chevy tried climbing the drivers side. hit the drivers side passenger door then dug into the left rear tire and ripped the whole wheel and suspension parts out from under the Lil Truck, broken windshield, both side airbags deployed but the steering wheel bag and passenger front bag DID NOT deploy.

Pretty sure this will be totaled? 2024 with 25K miles. The left rear wheel and tire are still MIA

Holy !! Glad your both ok!! Was he drunk? Yes the Trucklet is a total loss for sure..

Dayum! Good job with the defensive driving! There are plenty more 'lil Nanny Trucks where that one came from.

Holy is right.
Really glad you both are OK.
What did the other driver have to say?

 

[BouseBill]

Thanks for the thoughts guys. The driver was not drunk according to the Trooper. He was either asleep or on the damned phone. The impact literately ripped the front left wheel and tire off his 3500, it was laying in the road. We only spoke to ask if each other was OK. Up to the insurance company now.
P.S. The hood protector still looks like new

wow amazing, you only get a split second to react, clearly you made the right move. Were you far from help? Picture looks like not a very populated area

The nearest Hospital was 45 miles away, but the nearest EMTs were only 5 miles away maybe. Our injuries didn't require anything drastic as far as emergency medical. The wife did go to the hospital in the ambulance as a precaution.

Wow....glad you and the missus are Ok.

Totaled for sure
DUI driver?

 

[BouseBill]

NO, fell asleep or was on the phone.

Glad you all are okay. And somewhat impressed that the little Maverick got a chunk of the Chevy in that fight.

If it's any consolation, the cavity behind your driver's side taillight looks a lot cleaner inside than I would've expected.

Well, We live in the desert S.W. so the lil truck stayed pretty clean most of the time and it was less than 2 years old. Would have been two years old in October.

Glad you and wifey are OK. That giant truck hit you hard. Dash Cam?

After coming within a hairsbreath of the same situation as this I will not leave home without one.

 

[BouseBill]

Yeah, no dash cam, we have one on the Expedition but not the lil Nanny truck

I know it's pretty soon, but any idea on a replacement?
