Damn man, that sucks, glad to hear you're ok. You can't beat a truck for crash survival, built too tough. I had a Prius find out my tow hitch was, in fact, not a bumper. Sucked for him, not a scratch on my Ram.

Yeh man i agree with everyone. Your lucky you weren't in the ambulance. Yeh my dad has worked in an automotive shop for over 25 years and is now the head man over damage reports. I sent him a pic of your truck and he recommended you start looking for a new one. Sorry about your truck. Oh yeh if this is a recurring thing, you might want to think of getting your next truck made of the same materials as the "no dent" bumpers that just pop out like my wifes sebring. I nailed a deer at around 80 mph on the highway and it caved the right front in, and i watched it pop out when i stopped to see the damage. If that would have been my truck, the front end would have fallen off probably. Good luck man, and watch out for the crazy drivers. Be careful next year.

Yea, here in Fl. you can count on two and sometimes three cars gunning the gas to make it when your light turns green at an intersection. I always pause to look before proceeding if I'm the first one at the light. Looks like you may have some frame damage this time, I hope the insurance gets you intoa nice new RAM...

Man, youare correct there! My theory is Floridians run so many red lights is because we waste so much time stopped at the green ones.
