Well....Crap! R.I.P. - Bluelight Special!

Incidents & Traffic / Traffic Accident written by @dav2no1 LTZ 4X4,w/ 5.3- Crew Cab. (Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2012)
06.20.2021

Truck was running good, then this happened! I walked away...the reason I drive a truck! Truck is totaled, steering wheel and side curtain air bags deployed = $1K each x 5. Frame rail is bent according to adjuster.

Dumbass kid..I was taking a left on from my street, dude was doing 50+ in a 35, coming up the hill..I was almost in the other lane, but the kid swerved into centerlane and hit me. His roommates car. If he would've just kept going straight, would've been fine. Think he panicked.

Even at his excessive speed I would've cleared him, but he swerved into me, never hit brakes..no skid marks. Hit me almost front wheel to his front wheel.

So sending title in, insurance gave me a decent price. My LTZ was loaded and about 80K miles.

Looking for advice..can't afford a new one at moment. Looking for something comparable to my truck. Saw a 2014 high country today with 61K miles.

So someone please educate me on 2013, 14, 15, 16 trucks. What to watch out for as far as issues.
