Baseball-Size Hail Destroyed My Ford F-150. Here’s What Happens Next
This video was first publish on Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk
My Ford F-150 took a direct hit from baseball-size hail, and the damage is far worse than I expected. The insurance estimate came back at $13,000, but that's only part of the story.
This truck isn't just my daily driver. It's the truck I use to tow our camper, compare against new pickups for reviews, and create content for Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk. Now it's headed to the body shop, and I'm worried about what that means for future truck reviews, trade-in plans, and repair delays.
In this video, I walk you around the truck, show the damage to the windshield, roof and body panels, explain what Progressive estimated for repairs, and discuss what happens next.
Have you ever had a vehicle damaged by hail? How long did repairs take? Let me know your experience in the comments.
