Getting Totaled, What to Keep?

[Ozarkbeard]

When my Kia was towed away from the crash scene and totaled, I wasn't allowed to retrieve anything from it except some paperwork.

I'm not sure what you could take off a totaled vehicle since technically the insurance company is "buying" the vehicle from you and it would then be theirs. I'm sure you can take personal items and any mods you paid for but I'm guessing they would frown upon you taking items that came on the truck from the factory since they are selling it for parts to recoup some of their money.

If you have a box cover on it I would find out if you can take that if it’s not damaged.
you will need to sign over the title to the insurance company. Once that happens you can’t do anything.

I'm back. After getting my truck in March 2022 I slowly stopped posting. A couple weeks ago I was rear-ended on the interstate and fear they will total my truck. so I'll be in the wait again. I am thinking of talking the locking bracket tie downs so the next truck will have four (don't know how to remove them).

What items would you take off the totaled truck for the future new one?

I would inquire with your insurance company about this. I'm not sure you can take anything off a totaled vehicle. I was going to take out a fairly new battery once and the insurance company told me I could not do that.
