I sure hate that, always sad to see a nailed Runner.
I'm with the other guys, don't see it being a total. But... if it is, you might not be too unhappy. About a year ago my mom totaled her '02 - it had just a hair over 100k on it, and the insurance company gave her almost 11k.

The BMW can be replaced. 3rd gen 4runners are no longer manufactured. The 4runner is a LOT bigger loss.

Dude .... take the FATTEST insurance payout you can get ....
Don't let them total it or if they do insist you get to keep the truck by keeping possesion at all times.
The rear hatch can be found at a junk yard for probably $300 (say scratched a bit) and repainted for like $250 - $400.
You can get new taillights for $150 - $200
You can get a factory looking bumper for $200 (used) - $400 (replacement parts cheap). Or go with a Savage for $450.

Very likely not a total. My 2000 was hit similarly a few months back and they told me with my mileage (131k) and condition would cause it to book for close to $10k. Generally the repairs would need to be 80% of the assessed value for it to be a total loss. Yours is newer with less miles, and I don't see the $6-7k in damage there.
They do factor in mileage, interior and exterior condition, modifications, etc.

That BMW is far from brand new. It's actually probably older than your 4runner.

The Break My Wallet will cost a lot more to fix if it's at all fixable.
She was probably texting or putting on make up.
How the hell do you not see a large green truck in fron of you when sitting in a low vehicle?
The truck can be fixed though. Looks like a bumper & tailgate only.
As long as no ones hurt.

Based on the look of that BMW and the fact it hit your hitch directly putting almost all the force into your frame .... Your frame is most likely bent.

I wouldnt says its bent just yet. You want to find another 4runner and measure front to back side to side of the frame and see if it matches up. Real easy to do . Years ago my brothers Eclipse got slammed from lady pulling out in front. He got back almost 4k for the damage. We got bumper from junkyard, spot painted bumper and with the rest of the money he got FMIC, new turbo, piping, EMS, his car went from 300whp, to 450whp overnight. LOL.

Glad the humans are ok
Looks like one of those offset impacts like they just tested and released results, interesting. Not sure about ur state, but I texas when a vehicle is declared totaled, the owner gets the opportunity to buy it from the insurance for 15% of value, so depending on the vehicle/impact area that can be really good or bad. Looks to me like urs would fall into the really good (all the important parts - engine/tranny so forth are fine); urs is mostly cosmetic yet can total cuz of the age/value....Luck! :banana:
