Damn, I’m sorry to hear that!
Looks like you’ll need a grille, cooling package amongst other small trim pieces. Not too terrible but is totally fixable. Unless there is unforeseen damage. Doesn’t look like you’ll need paint thankfully!

There is usually a couple of inches in between the two. I do see some drops under the passenger corner, which means radiator could be cracked. Usually if there is any blemish or small amount of damage. They will replace if. Try your best to get oem parts.

I’m hoping to take it to a ford collision center close to me. I was able to drive it home (happened 5 minutes after leaving my house) and it drove fine with no issues. I’m hoping by the time I get everything squared away with insurance I’ll be able to drive it wherever for repairsThere is usually a couple of inches in between the two.

I hate to say it, but you actually got off quite light on damage. This is still probably gonna be 5K+
Any damage to the headlights or the housings
Looks like damage to grill, condenser, camera.
Is this a 5.0L truck?

Yeah it’s definitely gonna be pricey to fix. I’m really hoping all I have to do is pay my deductible. There were actually some pretty decent scratches on the inside of both parts of the headlights closest to the grill, nothing that makes them unsafe or non functioning. The truck is a 3.5 eco.

Here in NY, I'd just buy the parts and fix it on my dollar. Otherwise, my insurance would increase by $3000/year for four years. State laws.
Good thing it's all bolt-on parts. Almost kind of clean, fun work on such a new truck. Just guessing, but maybe $2K in parts?

I guess it depends on state, my 13 Lincoln slid into a curb and disconnected Lower ball joint and disconnected cv axle. Insurance wrote me a check for about 4k, did the work for 450 bucks and insurance didn’t go up a dime.
I’d go under the truck and double check you have no coolant leaks. If not, than drive it where you’ll get it fixed. Towing will be covered under insurance to your nearest dealership usually. May be different for yours! One of the most expensive parts will be the Freon for the ac system. The r-1234yf is very expensive.

This is my first ever claim I’ve ever had on with any car insurance company I’ve dealt with so I’m hoping it’s not gonna be anything crazy. I’m located in Georgia and with it being an animal collision and not a vehicle to vehicle I’m hoping it’ll either go up very little or not at all but we’ll see. I’d love to fix it myself but I honestly don’t have the time.
