Sharing a photo of my poor Tacoma after it was hit. Really feeling like it’s got a bit of a curse.
That camper looks solid… make sure you hang on to it for your next truck! Glad you’re safe. Trucks are just metal and bolts. You’ll get another one.

I was just thinking… but what about the camper? It’s a beauty!

Depends on what the insurance lets you take. When my Tacoma was totaled, I was told I couldn’t take anything that was bolted on. Guess it might depend on the insurance.

If they haven’t done an appraisal yet, it’s still your stuff. They can’t say much until they put a value on it.

Makes sense. Mine was totaled on the spot and sent to the tow yard, so I only saw it once to clear my stuff. It would’ve been tough to remove a camper at that point. I had bike mounts, but I let them go. Now I have extra insurance for all the accessories on my new Tacoma… it’s got 15k worth of upgrades.

Take it off quick before the tow truck even gets there!
I’ve been driving for 21 years, and since I got my Tacoma, I’ve had four fender benders. Never had an accident before! Three days after I bought it, I got rear-ended. Four accidents with my Tacoma, none my fault, but still a pain. Funny in a way… first new car I bought, and it’s been hit four times.
It’s crazy how stuff like this happens. Sometimes it feels like these trucks just attract bad luck!

I had a similar situation with my last truck… thought it was cursed too!
@Finley
Now I’m just hoping the new one doesn’t end up the same way!
Man, that’s rough. Hope everyone was okay.

Luckily, everyone walked away without a scratch 
Calling it a curse? Honestly, sounds more like a blessing if no one got hurt.
Is this in Santa Cruz, CA?

Yep, you guessed it!
Guess it’s time to say goodbye to that truck…
Dang, man… that sucks. Sorry to hear.
Ouch.
My truck looked just like that last December when it got totaled. Sorry to hear it. I got a decent payout, but I ended up switching to a 4Runner.
Edit: Here was my Tacoma.
