My 2003 Tacoma and I got rear-ended this afternoon by a late model Dodge Ram. The front end of the Ram was about finished. The raditor and bumper were demolished. The hood was crumpled almost back to the cab. He whacked me and the Tacoma pretty good. The rear bumper of my Tacoma was demolished, and the rear of the bed was bent under a bit. The tow truck guy who came out to tow away the Dodge said a body shop would probably just replace the Tacoma bed. The Tacoma drove away from it without even a hitch in its get-along. I was amazed. Don't let anyone tell you these vehicles are flimsy pieces of crap. Thissun took a real lickin' and kept on tickin'.
