I should have the truck back this week. Repairs definitely taking longer than expected but it's nearly done at this point.
Yeah it took until a month ago for the dealership to get all necessary parts. Working on minor frame adjustments now then wiring then body work. Said it should be another 4-6 weeks to completion if no other hiccups. It took me a couple days to even find a dealership that would say they were even capable of repairing it. Called dealerships and collision centers in multiple states

Thanks for keeping this thread updated. I'm sorry for your three months without the truck. I have the 'same' Atlas Blue Lariat. I see you kept one, were you able to save both wheels? That would have been close to your deductible. Same running board? It looks like they did a nice job. It's hard to believe that labor was only ~$5000. Was there any hidden supplemental damage?

Got my truck back on Tuesday. Took nearly 4 months but it's like new again. I'm back to putting on accessories got the rear mud flaps on.

I’m jealous!

coming up on 6 months since I last drove it and the only timeline I have been given recently for completion is that it’s “weeks away”. Here’s some pics from the wreck, then after tear down, and how it looks at the moment on the frame machine.

There was about $10K in supplemental damages added on that insurance paid. I know they changed the whole frunk bin because one of the mounting tabs was half broken on one corner The frunk compartment was around $2500 they also replaced the wiring to the doors and interior panels. Even with a 2K deductible I'm getting money back due to not replacing the wheels and running board. Total was about 29K but i declined around 3K for wheels and running board. The wheels are fine just cosmetic damage chips scuffs in the paint and the running board had a scuff in the front corner plastic.

My initial quote was about $18K, which went to $45K after supplemental. I was warned upfront that there would be a significant supplemental after the first estimate.
