    Got into an accident on Sunday. I was going through a light and unfortunately the driver trying to make a left turn, didn’t yield and turned in front of me. Even though I hit the brakes I ended up hitting him.
    The front passenger wheel well is damaged but I am more worried as the frame appears to be damaged as well? Do they ever cut out and weld pieces of the frame? Could the Tundra be totaled?

    Assuming airbags deployed, I'd say likely totaled...shame too, I love the 1794.

    How many miles?

    Strangely enough the airbags did not deploy. It’s a 2018 with 85k on odometer, barely broken in.

    A bent frame usually means it's a total loss. A buddy of mine is an insurance adjuster and informed me that toyota does not replace sections of frames when they get damaged. The only suitable repair is a complete frame replacement. Insurance companies don't typically approve that.

    You can always buy it back and salvage title it. Nothing Julio and a frame stretcher can't take care of.
