There’s also been a handful of people reporting a leak from the back window in the same area, are you sure it’s definitely the vent?

I’ve never heard this either, in my ‘21 or ‘24, weird. Must not be on by default.

Wow, how am I only finding this thread now? I also had a big water issue in my 2021 XLT this summer. Passenger side front and back. Assumed it was moonroof or AC related, dried it all out, but seemed like it slowly started coming back again. Never got to the bottom of it and my truck just got...

How can a dealer refuse to look at any area of the truck? It’s what they’re literally there to do, that seems weird. Not like it’s some other brand vehicle.

No, BlueCruise should definitely function on its own without any other dependencies.

Got my replacement truck today! 2024 303A with just about every option you could add, original sticker was $73k, paid $47,390 with 22k miles on it. Thanks for location services in FordPass I was able to see where my truck ended up. Found it on their website already but it’s not active for an...

Exactly, I’m sure it’s all liability and safety concerns, not to mention most people wouldn’t settle for a frame that had been bent back and claim their vehicle is no longer whole. For what it’s worth, the body claimed Ford has some published spec for the amount off of proper dimensions that...

Finally got the call from Geico today, it’s totaled. They gave it a $34,215 valuation plus sales tax to give me a total payout of $36k. I’m happy with the payout so I’m just going to take it and roll it into a new 2025 or lightly used 2024.

That’s the situation I expect to be in too, with the entire front of the truck in perfect condition along with the entire drivetrain, I’m sure it’s worth a decent amount still. I spoke to Geico today who said the case had go to a supervisor to make the decision on totaling, it’s apparently...

It seems like it varies by state and insurance company, being a little different everywhere. But that roughly aligns with the different calculations I've seen. Still no word back from Geico....

I'm sure value plays a large role in it. With repairs estimated around $24k, my truck being worth around $30-34k in its current state versus it being brand new and still worth $50k+ must play a huge role in determining whether to go through with the repair or not.

I agree, if taking the salvage title route I'd expect the thing to be practically worthless in the future, especially if the frame damage is still present. Regarding straightening it, they said Ford has an official spec for how far it's bent and if beyond that spec, they consider it...

Yeah it really is hard to believe something seemingly so small could total a big truck like this. Explains a lot of why insurance rates are so ridiculous. I think the fact that he hit me off-center combined with the fact that I had my foot on the brakes hard from having just stopped and him...

You mean have them total it, get the payout, and then buy it back with a salvage title for some fraction of the value? Didn’t even know that was an option.

Got rear ended on the highway on my way to the airport a few weeks ago, didn’t think it was anything too major, traffic all stopped very abruptly, I just stopped in time but the guy behind me (In a Tundra) didn’t. He figured he was going about 15mph when he hit me which seems about right. We...
