Everyone ok?

 

I would consider it totaled and request nothing less than a brand new 2015

Not too bad can't really see tailgate damage too good I personally would opt for repair bedside versus replace but it's his call the bumper is replace for sure.

Ryan, that is the problem, first new truck that he has ever owned. It has less than 10,000 miles on it, they want to say the frame is bent, it has not been looked at yet by anyone so I don't know. I asked for some pictures and this is what they sent me so the adjuster will call them to come look at it. Service air bag system light is on, the drivers seatbelt will not retract, and OnStar did call about 10 seconds after impact to see if they needed medical help because they showed the air bags had deployed. And yes everyone is OK, may be a little sore tommorow time will tell.

The seatbelt is part of the airbag system and blows a little charge to lock the belt, that's why the airbag light is on. Without seeing it in person it's hard to say about the frame but from the pics it doesn't look like it just mainly cosmetics. I would recommend repair bed because of corrosion issues in the future if they replace it and don't restore the proper protection.

Looks very minor. Take to a good body shop and let them fix it.

Good time to consider replacing the bumper with the 2014 model.

I don't think the frame is bent. I'm no expert but it doesn't look that serious. Really messed up that ferd though.
