We had our first real rain in a while in SoCal and I was unfortunately rear ended while at a red light by some jackass going way too fast and hydroplaned into me. It was pretty heavy collision, he was still going probably 20-25 mph at impact, and it totaled the front of his vehicle. Luckily, (for me) the trailer hitch just ripped right through his hood and engine bay and after a lot of inspection i had zero damage except an extremely small scratch on the hitch and bumper. No dents or any other damage.

I think it says a lot anbout how these vehicles are made. So stoked on my grenadier!

I’d definately have the dealer look at it and make sure all the crush zones and frame is still in good shape. Had a Jeep totaled due to a similar accident, and it looked like there was no damage. But yes, looks promising. As well as you drive, and as good of gear you put on your vehicle, your safety is in the hands of the worst driver with the baldest tires around you…
