2017 Raptor deer strike

Hey keep in mind your insurance company will LOVE to buy you aftermarket parts instead of OEM!! Think intercooler...morimoto overflow tank, grill with lights in it, all the good stuff.AS long as the pieces are CHEAPER than stock, which they will be!

HEy I'm not kidding here. I was an auto adjuster for 9 years and I loved helping guys like you out. Nice aftermarket stuff and aftermarket pipes and stuff on motorcycles, it will all work out good for you.

Sorry to see that; the truck held up amazingly well for hitting an animal at that speed that can easily weigh over a couple hundred pounds. The bumper, hood,and fenders are fully intact. Many vehicles get totaled from an impact like that, especially Japanese and Korean cars with their thin sheet metal that folds in like someone sitting on a soda can. Hopefully you can find a good shop that can get it back on the road in good as new condition!

Glad you weren't hurt OP. I remember seeing a nice '68 Corvette that had been brought in to a friends shop. I assumed the driver had rolled it. Nope, damn deer strike.

I hit my second deer with a Raptor last night. Years ago the first one went under the truck with no damage.

I am thinking if you're gonna be insisting on going Deer hunting each year, buying a rifle will be a lot cheaper!

Glad nobody got hurt.

Sorry!

Ended up being $14,500.00 in damage. Traded it on a 2019 Raptor instead of waiting to get it fixed.
