I would've been PISSED. Did he hit your tire at an angle from the front to make it do that?

frame could be bent we just got a f550 hit just like that and they totaled it cause of the frame. but yours looks like the springs gave away more which is good, they absorbed the shock instead of your frame

Damn dude! I hope he got a ticket! As far as the rental goes. Just get a moving van I see Ryder has a new fleet out and they are Fords. Or get a Penski. United Rentals rents pickup trucks too. Sorry to see the carnage!

Ouch!!! Glad You were not hurt. I had a wreck something like that in an F150 that I had a long time ago. Rear axle looked just like that. Need to make sure that the axle housing and the axle is not bent. Mine was, had to replace the whole thing.
