Any Wrecks? How did Bronco fair in repair?

[dougcjohn]

This being a forum, normally indicates the more aware / detailed Owners, so probably not many wrecks.

Have you had an accident or been hit in your Bronco? Was the bodywork performed without issues?
Any trail scars that needed repair from Off-roading?

Curious how the body, frame, suspension, drivetrain and paint came out after repairs?

To I guess answer your questions, I've heard those fancy tricoats can lead to a totaled because of the cost to repaint and match (meaning repaint the whole thing). Someone had a totaled because the floor pan got crunched a little? Some folks got a new frame, though, so it depends. There's a formula and parting a Bronco out can be more profitable for the insurer than fixing it.

There used to be lot of threads on various Broncos getting in accidents and people over/undering whether it'd get totaled, I'm sure they're still around.

I searched a bit before thread… didn’t find much.

I do recall when Bronco G6 was introduced, there were some YouTubes & Reports on poor crash results, unsafe,etc. I haven’t seen / read much since then.

For minor hits, I was thinking the modularity of body and doors would simplify some repairs.

Most crash posts that have been posted on here, the Bronco seems to do really well in, at least in my opinion. The other cars seem to be a lot worse off normally.
