I had a 2000 f150 ford once, (I know stupid mistake;(.) It was hit at 20 mph and totaled out from such a small hit. I go a good look at the way it was built, total crap.
Yea, ok.
I had a '96 Bronco and was rear-end by a semi in the freeway. Broke the back out of the drivers seat. I don't recall what the repair bill was, but it weren't near "totaled".
Drive Chevys at work. OK I guess if you don't mind the peeled paint and rusted body panels. I guess Chevy parts are some cheaper, maybe a volume thing?
