2019 Raptor Rear-Ended

[rolltide35406]

An Audi Q5 rear-ended me at about 35-40 mph. Frame is bent on the passenger side and crumpled on driver side. The bed of the truck now has hump of about 8 inches now. Current value of trcuk is about $60k. How much does it cost to repair/replace the frame and bed?

Welcome to the place, post some pics, because there is more damage than you mentioned. A frame swap and a box is half the value probably, but you'll have more than that if it was rear ended. Bumper, tail gate, back of cab, etc. Hope everybody was okay.

How did the Audi make out?

About 4 years ago we had a 2014 Gen 1 SCAB get rear ended. We were able to replace the frame from the cab back. Don't know how the repair procedure is for the GEN 2 but I think you should be okay as far as repair-ability is concerned. How ever parts availability is another concern. If you are concerned about resale value either ask for what they call diminished value, I believe, and/or get rid of the truck as soon as you get it back from the shop.

Audi undriveable and had to be towed from the scene.

I would be concerned about your drivetrain, the rear diff never moved forward? Would think the driveshaft might of gone too far into the transfer case. The rear springs are probably toast, did you look under the vehicle, are the u-bolts slanted? Hows the back of the cab?

$25,000 for a new frame, including labor, that was in 2020 before inflation hit.

Thanks for the $25,000 number. That's very helpful. Did that include a new truck bed, bumper, tailgate etc? With an estimated value of $60k (probably lesser on the insurance company books), I'm curious as to whether or not it makes it to the 75% of value threshold that would lead to totaling it.

I wouldn't be surprised if yours is totaled, need more pics though.
