Um, your Bronco definitely looks damaged to me. Check the body lines on the hinge side of the tailgate.

I’ve had my Bronco for just over a month and just got rear ended by a Chevy pickup today. Ford 1 - Chevy 0.

BOOYAH!!!! Well done!

Yeah your tail gate looks bent as does your tire holder. I’d be getting the frame checked out as well, damage unseen.

No damage to the bronco as it hit the spare/bumper :geek:
My husband's quite concerned about how badly the spare and rear door might fare in a Bronco getting rear-ended. Hopefully, that wasn't too bad.

I honestly can't tell if it's damaged or not. The panel gaps are all over the place on every Bronco. 🤣🤣

Hope all is ok

I'm 50/50 on whether the gap in the tailgate is damage due to the crash, or just typical Ford quality.

As my wife says, that is one of my concerns about the Bronco.

The vast majority of collisions in which I have been involved have consisted my vehicle being rear-ended by another.

I'm worried about the spare tire taking the hit, instead of the bumper, and passing the impact on to the rear door.

I'll be very interested in what a post-collision inspection of @LVBronco's vehicle reveals.

I'm also hoping that some aftermarket source will come out with a rear bumper for the Bronco that will extend farther aft than the spare tire, so that it will take the hit as a bumper is supposed to. I may even try to devise something to build out of Unistrut to accomplish this.
