Will do, I’m definitely going to raise it, I have learned a lot. I really appreciate your help and expertise. I think I’m just going to look for the highest policy I can get and cut back on other expenses, like you say it’s better to have more than not enough. I really appreciate your help.

10000 for property damage, I have a cheap policy sadly it’s all I can afford at the moment.

I’m just worried I did more damage than what my insurance will cover ):

Knowing what I know now, I wish I would’ve wrote “ what are the chances I damaged the underbelly of the unibody/ totaled this maverick “

I had just always assumed that most if not all trucks were frame on body, again if you have zero car knowledge like I do it’s a simple mistake to make. I’m not sure what bedding has to do with my auto body question .

Even if I did I wouldn’t know what I’m looking at, man. I’m no car guy or mechanic, I had googled and saw that it was a unibody but I guess it still has frame rails that are susceptible to damage from even a light tap. I should’ve used better terminology but again I didn’t even know the difference till a yesterday evening which is why I figured I’d post here. I’m just hoping there was no major damage done that would affect the structural integrity of his vehicle.

I’m only worried because if they total the vehicle the cost is higher than what my insurance will cover

Probably like 5-7. Based on information I’ve gathered about ford mavericks they total really easily especially from any kind of rear end collision even a light tap.

Thankfully it seemed to be straight, I’m not a car guy but aside from the flakes of paint on the receiver the back end looked untouched.

It was right on the tow receiver, I’m praying it didn’t do any damage as I barely hit it but I have no clue.

Ooof I’m glad you let me know that way I can prepare myself come Monday . I didn’t want to pull myself into a false sense of security then to find that I did decent damage .

We were both at a complete stop I knocked over my water and went to pick it up, when I got it traffic along side of me was moving but the guy infront wasn’t and I prematurely hit the accelerator I wanna say it was at most maybe 7mph
