I went from a 2012 F150 to an 2015 F150 and my insurance increase was less than $100. more per year. As far as fixing body damage goes I will find out soon. Truck was parked in a severe hail storm Tuesday night. Roof, hood, and right side all with heavy damage. Windshield was smashed. Insurance company already okayed a windshield which isn't cheap because there are no after market ones yet. Other vehicles in the area suffered as much damage or more than the 2015 Ford so the aluminium is no different in that regards. Sad part was I had room for my truck in the garage but it was muddy and dripping mud so I left it outside cause I didn't want my garage floor to get dirty! Insurance adjusters inspected our home yesterday. Needs a new roof, 2 broken windows and the west side needs new siding (vinyl)as well as new facia and eaves troughs.
