You need to get a Peacemaker or AliArc bumper for that bad boy! Obliterate the deer, keep on driving.

Sorry to see the damage to your new truck coobe! A deer hit my new truck last night I only have 1600 miles on it! It's just sickening

Oh man, that even makes me sick...... Would have better to have lost the bumper and grille. Now you are gonna have paint issues in the worst spot possible. Sorry for your horrible luck.....

Thanks ovrszd and coobie. Yes, it probably would have been better to have hit the deer in the front like coobie. I just had the truck rust proofed and undercoated. Now I need to find out what this does to the warranty of the aforementioned work? Coobie, was there more damage behind the bumper and grill that can't be seen from your pics? $6000 is a lot of money for a bumper and grille! Hope you get your truck back in service soon and in the condition you bought it.

Glad to see the Ram took it well, I have a 2015 Ram 3500 thinking about put a bull bar on it just in case. my does not have the park sense on the front do you like them?

I'd love to put a "deer slayer" on my truck but that wouldn't have done any good in my situation. The animal came out of a field of tall grass, I never saw a thing. Just a huge bang!

I've hit four deer with my old truck.
The worst was one that did no body damage, but tumbled under the truck pulling the block heater out causing the truck to overheat and blow a head gasket.
Be sure to check under the truck for unexpected damage that my come back to haunt you.

Coobie, glad you are OK. As everyone says, it could have been much worse. They often get thrown up into the windshield, and roll in and kill the occupants. i know it is a PITA to get your new truck fixed, but better that than a hospital stay. Good luck and take your revenge on the deer population and thin them out a bit.
