Exactly what the dude at the Dealership said; he told me that i was lucky to have the Trapezoidal frame and if this were a boxed frame i would've definately had frame damage with the impact!!!
N Rockstate; yes 25,000AED is appx $6800 (but thats for the UAE (Emarati Dirham) not Qatar), they are worth nearly the same but we use the QR (Qatari Rial).. If you thing i got the Tonneau for that much then you're mistaken lol.. it was for 2,500AED ($680).
Dakster; i'd have to agree with you, what pissed me off was the fact that ive been wanting a Tonneau for soo long and with less than a month of ownership, it gets completely destroyed and destroys the truck with it!! - I am sure if it was a Fiberglass cover it would've disintegrate too but i just wish it was a truxedo sport (what i initialy wanted).. Oh well; atleast we were okay n the Tundra handled it like a champ!!
BTW; even my cousin who is a hardcore GM fan and drives a 3500 dually was impressed; ofcourse he did say his 3500 would've walked out without a scratch lol but i didnt wanna get into an argument and just told him compare it with a 1500 (he smiled)!!!
