Truck

December 14th our son was hit from behind and his truck was totaled. Thank God nothing happened to him. He was very sad as he loved his truck. He had purchased expensive mats and other accessories recently and was really down they were now just sitting there.

well, we've been waiting for insurance to finish everything and Friday we found a very similar truck. Same year, model and color. Some differences but we put a down payment and should pick it up sometime this week. It's so great seeing our son so happy.

@qvcfreak Beautiful truck! Love the color and I have ALWAYS loved a RAM lol! It's so disheartening when something happens to the people and things we love, but luckily no one was hurt and insurance rectified the situation. Please wish your son loads of fun and good luck in his new BEAUTY of a truck - perfect for all those accessories he ordered!

We drive an 8-year-old RAM pickup. Dependable and still going strong. May your son drive it in safe health.

His truck being totalled and him not being injured is a testament to the sturdiness of the truck. I am happy your son is fine and that he has a new truck.

@qvcfreak Know the feeling...our son was involved in a hit and run on a CA freeway

@ 3am about 3 years ago. Driver was drunk. We couldn't get to him as we are across the country. It was a high speed crash and his suv was beyond recognition. He had to crawl out the passanger side window. He survived with minor bumps and bruises which I still don't know how he did. He was driving a 2003 Honda Pilot. Airbags deployed throughout the car.

This is scary stuff and I'm glad your son was OK.

Thank you everyone and yes we were very grateful and kept telling him the truck can be replaced. The truck that hit him also left the scene. And the trooper mentioned it would've been a lot worse if he didn't have the bumper he had. We will eventually put one on his truck as well.

Here's a photo of the bumper of his previous truck.

His new truck is the same year and model so everything he was able to recover should fit perfectly.

I am happy your son was ok. My dad use to say you can replace a car but not a human being.. Wishing your son the best of health going forward.

My son in law has this model and it's great. He's been buying Ram trucks for years now and he's never had any problems. Good luck to you son (and you)!

Man across from me lives and breathes trucks. He has about 5 of them. One to go to work in. A nicei clean white one to drive the family to church. One old rust black one to haul dirty stuff. Doesn't own any cars.One more to do his side job. For cash, he'll fix your truck.
