Bent Frame

[dkmma]

At the dealership for an oil change and spotted this TRX sitting in the parking lot. Got to talking and found out the owner works in construction and apparently overloaded a dump trailer badly enough to bend the truck’s frame.

The crazy part? The truck has around 150,000 miles on it, and even with a bent frame the insurance company wouldn’t total it. They valued it at roughly $77,000 and instead authorized the dealership to replace the entire frame.

77k is impressive and surprising

Very surprising, and had they totaled it, would they have paid out $77k?

That's pretty shocking to be honest. I mean what's the cost to move everything to a new frame that's got to be pretty darn high.

I'm surprised the insurance company is coving it, seems like user error/negligence to me but not sure what the trailer weight was but had to be more than what the truck is rated for

Now this guy is the only one allowed to list his truck as “fully loaded”.

if that's worth 77k then ours is def worth $177k+. I'll take all offers starting at $175k and up

@FULLTHROTTLERICK owns a dump trailer? Had no idea.
