2023 R1T Dual Performance Max
Saw this come up at auction in Eugene...

Sweet 2023 R1T dual adventure large with less than 2k miles on it. Rear damage.

Probably ~$3k in parts to put a new bumper and tailgate on it. Helluva discount.

Acquired mine similarly and am delighted with it.

Just have to go into it aware that you will have no warranty.

Frame damage?
Maybe, but not necessarily.

There's a member of this forum who went hard offroading and had the same happened to him. Maybe it flex and the body just never went back... Or Maybe it's frame damage which can lead to HV Battery damage.

It's a nice risky bet to make. :)

This is wrinkling from the rear impact through the bed rails. It is body, not frame damage. What happens is that the bed sides all shift forward and that narrowest place above the gear tunnel is what gives way.

Had the same on mine. Flattened out almost 100% with a hydraulic straightener.

To be clear, this is a vehicle for someone who wants all the function of an R1T truck. It is never going to be a car show beauty.
