Correct. And your point is? Mine was simply we'll see how many are on the road in ten years or so. Didn't say all the current Ford stuff is crap. On the contrary. If I bought a new pickup, it would probably be a Ranger. Same size as my Tundra. Practical for what I need. The new Tundra's are too obese to do what I need to do with my rig. As are all the other 'full size' trucks that are 50% larger than a 1/2 ton pickup of our high school era. ****ing gargoyle styled monsters.

Update. As expected, Home Depot's insurer won't cover it.
I got two quotes last week for paintless dent repair. One shop about an hour away for some odd number just under $3100 and needed the truck for a week. Basically a FU price. A second much closer estimated $1500/ two days. I'll drop it off tomorrow. |

What's your deductible? I learned years ago if the hit was expensive enough, to simply pay the deductible and let the insurance company cover the best option. I saved my insurance company about $2500 ten-twelve years ago by shopping around and found out after the repairs that they didn't give a shit. Next time they're renting me a car and using factory parts. **** it. Costs the same on the premiums.

It's a big-ass dent. Plus a crease on a body line, and a decent size gouge into the paint.
My deductible is $1000, so I'm not making a claim. Baby Doll thinks that my premium might go up, seeing as this the third event in just over a year. I'll defer to her on that. |

Paintless doesn't have to be perfect. It's not a Porsche.

I believe that I’d take GTO’s advice and trade that ranger for a new truck.
