Anyone got a 2011 truck they want to sacrifice to Insurance by letting something "accidentally" crush the rear end thus totaling it??

Picked the EX up from the auction today. Got the coolers out and the truck running. Truck has never pulled a trailer the paint is still on the inside of the receiver. It was used as limo services. All electronics appear to work. Time to start looking for a 2011 or newer.

Thx for sharing the pics, but it just doesn't seem right to carry around the biggest SUV like it's a paperweight...
