Some of ya'll might have known that in 2017 I totaled my 2013 Ford Expedition Limited. It had only around 40,000 miles on it. So we bought a 2017 Ford Expedition Limited demo that had 7,000 miles. Now it has 14,000 miles. Well yesterday we were hit from behind. I'm waiting on the cost estimate to repair. They saw some frame damage as well as some side damage around the rear side glasses. The rear door is warped and the rear bumper is pushed in. We don't know what other type of internal damage they will have. At this time we really don't know what we are going to do. We saw a 2018 Ford Expedition demo on the lot. Maybe? Oh yeah, I just had back surgery 3 weeks ago....so far no back problems....can't win for losing.Wreck 2-3-19 017.jpg Wreck 2-3-19 016.jpg Wreck 2-3-19 012.jpg

What all leaked on the ground from the crappy GMC? Looks like oil or trans fluid?. I’m guessing trans cooler line got damaged and let a ton of fluid out...

Dang Barry, your not having any luck lately. Glad your ok. You might consider moving, or buy a tank!

At all costs, protect that Air Force sticker!! Appreciate your service....hope you are thinking about the '18. If possible get one that was built after Sep 18, seems they got the bugs out on the ones built later in the year....good luck!!

looks like the gm got sick after it assaulted the expy.
the one pic looks like the body is tweaked just to the right of the top of the light.

The early determination is that they may have some frame damage. Around both rear glass areas have a crease. The rear storage are under the rear cargo door is bent up. Is does not look good. Waiting on the report.

That sucks getting such a nice '17 Expy smashed into.

I just got my 17 back from the Truck Hospital after being run into by a 20T dump truck! Mine was only grazed and nothing functional was destroyed!

Hate to see that. Even if not hurting today see your doc. I have arthritis, probably started before the accident. Started hurting after the accident, and doctor says most likely it was hastened by the accident. I was in a similar accident when my Jeep Patriot was hit. Frame damage = totaled in my case. The Expedition was as close as I could get to a tank and fit in the car port.

Already talked to my back doc. He advised me since it's not hurting to wait and see. He documented it. I got the price for repairs. It will just under $10,000. Of course this may change if they see and other hidden damage. It will be fixed at the local Ford Dealership. My wife retired from there and we trust them.

They end up at salvage auctions..

Here are a couple of places to start..

https://www.copart.com/vehicleFinderSearch/?displayStr=FORD,EXPEDITION,2016&searchStr={"MISC":["lot_make_desc:FORD","lot_model_desc:EXPEDITION","lot_year:2016"],"sortByZip":false,"buyerEnteredZip":null}

His one should be pretty cheap, not much but driveline parts left..

Unfortunately with injuries, it takes up to a week before the pains show up, usually about 2-3 days. When my Mustang got rear ended years back, by neck and back started hurting a little less than 3 days later.
