Glad you ended up being ok.

Almost 2 years ago we hit two small deer in my 2024 F150 towing a 26ft travel trailer. They jumped from the ditch on the side of the road and glanced off the truck doing 55mph. I really couldn't see any damage other than either side of the fender. There was the smallest of gaps where the bumpers met the fender. I just kept driving it. Several weeks ago I am having trouble with some notifications from the system and the tech tells me there are a bunch of stored codes for the adaptive cruise and collision avoidance system and I should get it checked out.

Well, $5,500 later, I got it back. The cost for one headlight (which had broken tabs) was $1,700. There was more damage behind the grill than anyone thought. The cost to make sure all of the sensors are aligned is close to $1,000 in labor and a charge for their equipment. My deductible is $500. I have toyed with getting a guard for the front but have hesitated due to the weight and looks. I am going to check them out more now.
