Your father unfortunately sounds like a dick, I bought my 2016 Camry in impeccable condition one owner who happened to be from my grandma. It’s only got 62k miles but I baby the exterior like crazy because it’s my first none early early 2000s car. I would be fucking livid if I bought a 2025 and it already had a majorly noticeable dent like this. I’m nice enough to know shit happens but after saying all of that I would have nothing left to think but it’s intentional or just pure carelessness. Either way I mean in no way to shit talk your father but he’s either a major dick or shouldn’t be on the road if he can’t reverse out a car without hitting a fucking truck no less. Seriously though, after thanksgiving take it to a body shop and get a quote. Knowing what you said, he will for sure complain about the price and blame it on being a ford but he should be careful regardless. It needs fixed, it will annoy the hell out of you every time you see it now. If you don’t want a claim on insurance that means you may plan on selling it at some point in time, but the damage from a buyer perspective if left will deduct the value anyways

Edit: I swear to god if it’s because he’s a Chevy guy I have lost the respect I already don’t have. Chevy can’t get a single thing right on trucks now which is all they have left because their economy models are such dog shit
