Turns out 7k lb truck wins vs Civic. Three weeks into ownership and loving the truck so far. Was on the way home yesterday and stopped at a red light. After turning green started to accelerate when felt a slight lurch forward and a bunch of lights go on the dash. The lights went away and I started to look around and find out what happened. Started to see smoke and then noticed a little bit of blue sticking up above the tailgate.
Turns out the blue was a Honda Civic that had hit dead center of the rear of the truck probably around 20 to 30 MPH. No airbags for me with Civic owners going off. Everyone was safe and no injuries.
After all reports got filled out I was still able to drive the truck home with only a few warnings about sensors being out. Insurance claim has been started with USAA so we'll see how this goes. I live in NW Florida so nearest service center is Atlanta. Hopefully that doesn't complicate things to much. Please see the attached photos and I'll be sure to update through the process.
On a good note the other owner had an adorable American bulldog that was perfectly safe but enjoyed making friends after. Send any questions my way.
Update #1: Claim with my insurance has gone in. Won't continue the process unless other vehicle company picks a fight with me. Have contacted the insurance of the at fault vehicle. Still waiting to hear back, but I know a claim was entered by the other driver because I have an agents number. Fun times had by all.
Update two: after talking with USAA I will likely be going to the closest rivian approved area. Two and half hours away. Not the worst distance. First appointment is April 3rd. Let the long process continue.
Update three: vehicle was dropped off at rivian approved collision center late Monday night. Was pulled apart and as expected there was some amount more damage than my first pictures showed. The center sent pictures to rivian to see what they say. I'm less optimistic after I saw the pictures but hope springs eternal. Will update again once I hear back from rivian.
