Default She's a goner I think

Looks like I'm going to need to go truck shopping now. But thank fully my little mans car seat did it's Job!!! So my 2 year old, wife and I all walked away without a scratch. I've never been in a car wreck so not really sure how this all plays out. It wasn't my fault, A lady turned across traffic and T boned me in the front left as I was going by. Which spun me out and up over the curb and through a road sign.

Used 6.2 DI is a strong contender but. If I can find DI engine supercharged already with a 5.3 I would consider it.

or do I dare say.

Supercharged 2015 5.0 but they are just hard to find and want top dollar.

Maybe 40 mph but more like 35. She hit me right in the front left as I was trying to turn away from her. That knocked the front left off. Then as I spun around her I hit the curb on a corner broad side which tore the rear axle off and folded the right rear tire under the truck. The rear quarter panel went through a street sign.

I'm lucky hitting the curb sideways didn't flip us.

Those AT tires bit the road and did not slide, plus they don't like traveling sideways! Glad y'all are ok. Looks fixable.

I was on the fence about a new truck because we where saving to make one lump payment to pay it off. Then maybe next year I could have gotten a new boat. But now it look like I’m going to have to spend some money to get something I’m happy with. And the boat will have to wait longer.
