Disturbing picture of my Raptor after going through a tornado

Coming from a fellow blue flame owner I am very sorry to see what happened to your baby. I know the feeling, I special ordered my truck almost 6 years ago. No matter how careful I am I'm always afraid of something happening out of my control and don't know what I'd do without it, either. I would imagine they fix it though. GL man and try to stay positive.
OP...glad you and daughter are okay. Lived in South West OK for 6 years and huge hail storm came through Atlus, OK. It is amazing how the Paintless Dent Repair experts can do magic with the roof and panels that can be repaired. That is how I would approach the fix. Replace what can not be fixed and use PDR for the rest. Raptor will be fine.
Nice legs Slobra, lol. If it were me, I would take their money, fix the back window, and rock the raptor as is. You and your truck went through something incredible. Wear it like a badge of courage.
Agree. I'd name it "Dimples".
LMAO...I had to go back and look for leg pics in the refelctions. Those are some shorty..short...shorts!
Back windows cheap
PDR is even cheaper.
You’re good bro! No worries. File it under insurance As you won’t have a hike in rates (act of God) and you’re Gucci! It’s what you pay your insurance premium for! Use it

A good PDR tech should be able to take like 90% of those dings out with ease
Somehow I think Ford/SVT should hear this story. Marketing the durability of a truck that has been through a tornado...there has to be an angle here somewhere.
Glad you're ok!

Yeah, but what about the other 10%? I'm sure OP doesn't want any bondo on his truck.
You're definitely very fortunate that neither of you were hurt in any way. Looking at the damage to the truck, a lesser truck or you having to exit the truck could easily have resulted in a really bad situation. You were kept safe in your Raptor. For that reason alone, I'd want it fixed. Fixed right, of course, but fixed. There's a good story with a happy ending in her.
PDR will work on most, and the other can be worked out and filled prior to paint. All quality paint jobs have filler to remove any imperfections. It's how its done...plain and simple. What are the other options if he wants to keep the current Raptor?
That is my daughter, thanks
Well, that blows. Glad y’all are okay. That said, hard to say what the insurance company will do. Who’s your carrier?
American family is my carrier
lol, well I'm relieved it's not you in the booty shorts.
It took almost 3 weeks to get my car into a shop. It must be a good time to be in the auto paint and body industry.

Total it i guess? Your only options are literally ‘fix it, whatever that takes’
Or
Total it?
I don’t understand your question.
I'm not saying not to do it with PDR. I'm just wondering how they handle the other 10%.
