Dang I’m really sorry to hear this, and hope that she is taken care real soon.

Tell her to start wearing a seatbelt. Head shouldn’t make contact with the steering wheel if properly strapped in. Glad she is ok.

A huge WHITE truck to boot. I hope your wife recovers quickly. The damage doesn't look very bad from the pictures, a good sign that these trucks will hold up from impact. I would concur with other posters about letting FCA know that the seatbelt didn't tension.

Most of the impact force was absorbed by the hitch and as a result translated in whiplash and most likely why sitbelt did not lock up.
Best wishes to your wife.
Definitely a superbumper would help in this situation, but unfortunately it is not very friendly with rear sensors if equipped.

Most likely the entire rear hitch assembly will be replaced , it’s a insurance thing. Happened to me in a 150.

Hope your wife recovers soon

yea I guess the right quarter got slightly pushed into the tailgate .look at the gap in the photo its tighter that need to be pulled out ,and there r 2 Knicks at the top of the tailgate on the right side on the inside portion ,they want to paint the whole tailgate ,I may tell them to spot fix that ,to me more problems painting a whole tailgate , needs new bumper and tow hitch .

You just reminded me of a railroad fan who did something similar...

I always tell people when in an accident that doesn’t look “bad” to make sure to get it fixed right. It’s easy to repair aesthetically but seals, sensors and electrical will eventually pay the price from damage. Especially with modern cars.
