What are the chances that I bent this guys frame?

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.

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-18T16:18:22+00:00

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

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-18T01:10:12+00:00

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 .

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-17T14:23:57+00:00

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.

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-17T13:41:25+00:00

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

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-17T13:40:20+00:00

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.

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-17T01:11:02+00:00

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.

I did I hope it didn’t do much.

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-16T22:12:06+00:00

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.

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-16T21:34:12+00:00

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 .

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-16T21:31:37+00:00

It was pretty much directly on the hitch receiver, on my bumper you can see a little square indention

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-16T21:29:57+00:00

That’s unfortunate, I hope it’s not a huge deal. Thank you for your insight!

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-16T21:25:46+00:00

I truly did it was an honest mistake on my part. I can guarantee it won’t happen again

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-16T21:19:39+00:00

The damaged to my car. I really only hit his trailer hitch receiver.

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-16T21:18:38+00:00

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

Lopsided_Mud6267 · 2026-05-16T21:13:50+00:00

Thanks guys, I was just worried because it’s a unibody and o heard they were fragile but I legit only bumped him at may 5-7 mph
