Default new truck got rear ended!

This morning i wont say what happend as its long and just happend today. But I am not at fault as i drive like an old man with this beast making sure she will last me forever Needs a new bumper and some left side body work as the bumper was pushed in causing damage.

The vechile which hit me is a complete write off. As it pretty much just went under my bumper. the hood folded like paper and the from bumper was pushed in. Radiator fluid was everywhere!! One day i dont put my tow package on something happens plus would have saved some damage! And to be honest getting hit when stopped at a decent speed i hardly felt it or any whip lash at that! and I am very proud of my Ram for being such a sturdy truck as if this happend wit my other car i would have been in pain!! And just the overall damageto my truck i was surpirsed

Very sorry to hear of your accident. Remember, you are alright and your truck helped you to be that way. Fix 'er up and be on your way. Good girl/truck!

Does your truck have the factory dual exhaust? I wonder how much that bumper costs if it needs to be replaced? Sorry to hear about your baby getting damaged.

The most important thing is that you are okay. We can all get new truck parts.
