Finally got a chance to scan the boards. Guess who wins when your new expy broadsides a Dodge Caravan (who ran thru a red light at 45)? I come to a sudden stop and he ends upside down with roof caved in and he can touch his passenger door from the drivers seat. No one hurt but am I PISSED. Just about need a whole new front cap. Really worried about frame damage. Anyone with like experience and end result? My big question is why didn't airbag go off?

No airbags?
I would seriously be talking to the dealership (so that they could have a factory rep talk to you directly) about that one, and report it on the NHTSA web site.

Sorry to hear about the damage.
The only place than can determine frame damage is a frame or good body shop. Do not let the insurance people tell you its not, get it checked regardless. If its a new ride and it is bent, then push insurance for a new ride, because with a bent frame, that will automatically put you in an upside down $$ situation on the truck!

I don't think I would get all worked up over the airbags. Unless it takes a hit from the front or back of the vehicle (where the sensors are located) I don't believe they will go off, but I understand your concern. Maybe as suggested, you could ask the dealer.
