One more update: STILL NO TRUCK! Rydell Chrysler Dodge RAM in San Fernando has had my truck for 5 months and 13 days and still no eta. It was almost ready last week - repaired, painted, and delivered from the body shop to the dealership service dept for final computer programming. Some idiot at...

I tow a 2200 lb trailer loaded with two 1300 lb moving horses. I have the 3.92 gearing, and I can't feel the trailer at all. Mpg drops a bit, but not a huge amount.

Still no truck. Apparently, the body shop broke a harness when they replaced the frame and it’s on national back order.

The insurance company replaced the frame on mine.

Yes, mine are gloss black.

They've had my truck since March 2. Current eta is July 1. It took about a month to get a complete breakdown of damage.

The exact same thing happened to me in March (I was also pushed into the car in front of me). The insurance company declined to total the truck because the repairs don't reach 75% of its value. The dealership has had it since March 3 and they expect repairs to be finished on July 1. It needed a...

I don't have rental coverage on my insurance, so I'd have to pay for the rental car and try and claim it back from the insurance of the woman who hit me. And since her insurance co. specializes in minimum coverage for hard to insure drivers, I could be left holding the bill.

I'm not sure if I'm going to trade it in. I'll have to see how it drives - some of my options aren't available on 2022s and I hate to give them up.

No - I was at a complete stop when I was hit. The airbags on the car that hit me did deploy.

I'll see how it drives. Since it's being repaired at a dealer's body shop, they said there's a total warranty on all repairs for as long as I have the truck. So if I find anything not working correctly, they have to fix it.

I tried, but the insurance won't do it. I actually hope they repair it, because several of the options on my 2021 (like BLIS) aren't available anymore due to chip shortages.

The parts bill is $20k, not sure about the labor. They said they don't total it until the repair cost is 75% of the value. Since the truck is 6 months old, the replacement value is around $75k.

The insurance adjuster said the photos and video I took made it clear, plus the images of the skid marks. The woman in front of me admitted to hitting the car in front of her first, and both she and the guy she hit said there was a delay of a few seconds before the second hit. Of course, the...

Most definitely! I had just started researching them, but hadn't bought one yet. Live and learn!
