shouldnt be too hard to fix i dont think.
the springs should have absorbed most of the shock.
at least it didnt hit the door where it could have killed someone (and done a lot more damage)

Car is totaled and the super duty survives with (relatively) minor damage. Gotta love a Ford! Still sucks though, hopefully they both had insurance

Well that sucks. It looks like to me there is a slight tweak to the frame as well judging by the first photo.

That is what I would be concerned about and was my first thought. I would be putting on an alignment machine after and checking that it didn't get tweaked. Gotta hate a truck that dog tracks.

I'd also be asking for a replace rim. Don't know if it has been damaged or not.
