Re: 2018 Silverado Crew Cab Z71

I told my wife like two days ago that because I really love this truck and want to have it a long time, somebody will probably crash it...so then of course it happened. I was rear-ended last night, stopped at a red light, by an S-10 travelling 45mph. Frame is bent, bed contacted the cab, my seatbelt pre-tensioner deployed. I'm not sure it will total, but if not...I don't want it back. Sad day for me and my favorite truck ever. I am very happy with how the truck protected us. The pre-tensioner is an airbag like device in the seatbelt latch that deploys electronically and retracts the belt to keep you firm in the seat...it did exactly that, nearly had to cut it off and we walked away. If we were in one of my old trucks, or my Challenger we'd be in the hospital or dead.
