Just wondering if anyone has made a claim for a bent chassis and had it repaired or did the insurance company write it off?

I have a slight bend in my chassis after hitting a large washout at 40 kph on the weekend and before I contact my insurance company to make a claim but I don't want it written off and would rather have it repaired.

Any first hand advice would be appreciated.
 
Did it bend just behind the cab in that weak spot?
Is the chassis full of rust? A few have been replaced because of this, makes the chassis weak and then buckles. Mostly the rust is inside the rails.
A strengthening kit is a available to lessen the chance of chassis bending. Mine was fitted by Superior Engineering, Several hundred to supply and fit.

However, if you were 800kg overloaded with lots of weight on the tail of the vehicle then that would be fair enough for any dual cab.

Sorry I can’t directly answer your question. It would be interesting to hear how you go with the claim.

Just behind the cab.

Can't see any rust.

Not overloaded but was towing by Campertrailer and I have a GVM upgrade.
