Tundra wrecked. - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

Just returned early from a deer hunting trip. Last night at the check station some a-hole backed his F150 into the rear driver's side door of my double cab. Completely crushed the door. I took some pictures and will post one soon.

What really pee'd me off is that I only have 1900 miles on the truck.

On the bright side, towed my little camper great and got over 16 mpg for this short trip.

I know some guys don't want to hear this stuff, but sometimes you just gotta tell someone.

Sorry to hear man, I can imagine how you feel. I wonder how this thread will end up though, you mentioning the F-150 backing up into you

...it will end up WAY off topic.

And that's where it'll be moved.

I only mentioned that because that was what the guy was driving.

OUCH!, sucks to be hit by another big ol' truck like a Ford F150!
I hope insurance covers it and it get fixed right the 1st time.

I'm suprised that F150 had enough power to do that much damage.

LOL!

I feel for you guy...... I would be sick if it happened to my truck. Did the other driver at least act like a gentleman ?????

Yeah, cause we all know that them f-150 drivers are all just a bunch of uncaring rednecks. Next someone will claim that the guy probably just drove off right. Some of you guys are elitest pr@$&s.

"Lighten up Francis"... It's a joke. I drove F150's for 20 years. I always told my uncles that my F150 would pull their Chevy's out of the mud sideways when they get stuck too. It was funny, and they came back with the same trash talk.

Jeesh, laughing and smiling adds 8 years to your life bud. Enjoy it and don't take things so seriously.

that sucks. At least he had insurance. It could always be worse.

If there is any good thing that can come out of this is the rear door is the thing that took the hit. It looks like they can through a new door on and paint it and you will be good to go. It looks like it will fix up pretty good. If your body and fender guy is top notch, you will never know it got hit. Or should I say no one else will know it ever got hit.

I feel for you.
I totaled mine on the 405 last week - total loss! just 1,500 miles on it.
I am going looking at a new one this afternoon, or should that be another new one.
I had the CrewMax but I'm thinking of getting the DC instead. I LOVE the CrewMax but the seat arrangement wasn't great for the two large dogs I have.
I'll probably decide when I see them side by side.

Look out for new pictures! I'm not getting green again - too unlucky for me

I just had a fender painted. They blended into the drivers door. You cant tell it happened. Make sure that the shop blends panels, you don't want an off color door.
