We love our children right? Mine borrowed the F350 diesel and lost a fight with a guard rail---$7000! Mainly front bumper, rear bumper, bent wheel, scratches, rear fender bent, possible alignment--frame? frame seems ok. Local ford dealer to fix it.
Any issues I should be aware of or ask this dealer? It was an immaculate truck & he promises to return it that way. well............ they have state-of-the-art equipment to check the frame alignment, etc.

Glad everyone's all right.
Sounds like mostly cosmetic damage. These trucks are pretty tough and doubt if there is any frame damage.
Take pics.

Re: My truck's first wreck
Ouch Well accidents happen and that's why we have insurance. Our vehicles can be replaced, but our loved ones can't. I come from a family that has a very large & well know auto body business in Pittsburgh. Believe me, you wouldn't believe some of the wrecks that came in and how perfect they were when they drove out. Not to worry....these "auto surgeons" are miracle workers. Get her repaired, and this too shall pass.
Kinda remind me of all the damage we inflicted on Lil Red the day we brought her home from her "maiden voyage" We were sick about it until she was fixed.

Re: My truck's first wreck
Thanks for the positive comments. Yes, everyone's fine. My son had his 2 sons aged 3 & 4 strapped well in their car seats in the rear seat--they bounced but no injuries. He was going 50 and a car coming at him crossed the center line while texting, etc., and my son swirved out of the way skidding on the wet pavement.
