Hey guys, normally I lurk here on the site but am looking for your thoughts

Unfortunately I have rear ended a truck over the weekend while heading out camping...
Anyway, I'm waiting to hear back from insurance if this will be totalled. What do you guys think?

No air bags deployed, but the car will not stay running for longer than 2 seconds.
Ill let you all know what insurance says when I find out!

Ouch. Hope everyone is okay. I highly doubt that will be declared a total loss.

Very surprised the AIr bags did not deploy, but if everyone was OK, that has saved you a big chunk of change.

@boredest jeezus christ, how did you end up ramming a truck from camping? Every time I see a mangled up 10th gen I cant help but grimmace. But from looking at those pictures it looks as if the structural integrity is still intact, albeit a real harsh cosmetic damage...

I had much less damage to my 2018 sport touring, my hood only had a tiny bend on one corner, windshield was fine, all front plastic damaged, both led headlights cracked, both quarter panels damaged. Cosmetic damage only, car ran fine and I drove it for a few weeks before the body shop could work on it. Total bill was just under $10k which is over 1/3 the value, same damage on a lower trim model could be almost 1/2 the value. If the insurance company totals the car if it costs 3/4 of the cars value to repair then it could be totaled. My guess is yes considering you have mechanical damage as well.

Airbags not deploying is a huge money saver!
Looks worse than it really is. Cars are ment to deform to absorb the energy of a crash. Aluminum hood is easy to bend up. Plastic pieces (headlights, front bumper) easily shatter.

It may not be cheap to fix, but unless there is also some unseen engine/transmission damage, I doubt this would be "totaled"

In today's day and age it doesn't take much to write off cars as losses. To much labor involved + parts x the book value = Loss.
Hope your rates dont go up to much.

Yea that looked like a total loss to me, too many variables. Glad you're safe tho and be careful out here.
