Could've been worse. Thankfully it was low speed when she hit me, but it still knocked the alignment out some (pulling hard to the right). Even more thankfully, her insurance was valid (State Farm) and they've agreed that they're liable. Gonna drop it off at the dealership and make sure there's no damage that I can't see. For all the jokes we have on here about economy cars eating the trailer hitch of a truck, I sure am glad that's what happened.

Nothing worse than getting in to an accident with a lawyer.

Had a lady in a Ford Escape hit my old F150 her right front to my left rear when it was parked in front of the house. Hit it hard enough to move the truck about 8 inches into the curb and bust a leaf spring. Just bent up the bumper and quarter panel.
It knocked the whole right front wheel A frame and all out of her car.

I had a lady go under my lifted truck all the way to the tires and lift me up a couple of inches. Hitch was in and the last few threads on the ball punched through her hood. I couldn't ease off so I locked the front hubs, threw her into 4 low and proceeded to open her hood up like a soup can.

2 years ago on my b'day I was rear ended on freeway by Audi . I was in 2001 1/2t chevy and I guess they Hit a sweet spot and bent my rear frame. I only had liability and they're ins wouldn't repaired but gave me blue book Value. Sounds like you made out better, hope u didn't get whiplashed. Clean out your truck good before you drop it off and take Pics of all sides and under carriage , put lock on spare .

Oh, it's going to the Ford dealership. But yeah, I'm taking everything out.
