Hi Everyone I am Brian. I picked up my 2020 Raptor and the very end of Jan! I got the SC with the 802A package. I have installed a Roll n lock bed cover and have my Baja Design bumper lights ready to go in this coming week.

Four weeks after i bought my truck a guy tried to shoot through a gap across three lanes of traffic and smashed right into the drivers side quarter panel area and wheel. My truck had 1951 miles on it. The frame was bent right behind the suspension. I had it towed over to the Ford dealer where i bought it. Just over $40k in repairs. I argued with Ins for months that is should be totaled.

Long story short it is now fixed and i got it back yesterday! The ford dealer did an amazing job on my raptor. There is still ins stuff to work out for the value beating i will be taking because of the rebuild on my brand new truck.

This is my first ever Ford. My best friend has had multiple raptors and i always loved riding in them that is what got me hooked! Lots of great information on this forum and i look forward to earning some more.

I will post some of the repaired pics and crash pics below also.

Welcome...sharp looking ride!

Welcome to the place. Nice looking truck. I wouldn't worry about the reliability of the truck with that damage, I get the resale value will be soft, but the longer you own the truck, it wont even matter. I'm guessing they replaced the whole frame?

Yes a full frame replacement was done. It was pretty interesting to watch that process and how quickly they can move things over from one frame to another.

Welcome. That’s a crazy experience you went through. Lucky it was only the truck and not you, with it being that bad. Since you have a new frame, your obviously back to straight so no worries. They can certainly move body parts around real fast, must have been interesting watching all the frame hardware being xfer’d.

Now customize as you want it and have fun with it.

Jim Click Ford did it. No complaints at all. They were very patient and super helpful.

Good to hear. I work in that industry as a consultant and like to hear when shops are doing it right. I know some of the management in that group.
