Could have used some of that saving.
My wife backed our Ridge out of her mother's driveway right into a Malibu's front fender. One of those
"I swear it was clear two seconds ago!" scenarios. Fortunately (?) it was at slow speed.
We ended up with the bumper having a pea-size paint chip, a slight crease in the corner and some minor scratches in the pattern of the car's wheelwell. Most of it isn't really that visible unless you look at it at an angle or depending on the lighting. I just received my touch-up paint which I had ordered a while ago from my dealer (prescient???), and fixed up the paint chip. It's not perfect but I can live with it. It is, after all, a truck!
The other guy got a nice little dent and some scratching. He agreed with my offer of having me pay for repairs without going through insurance. $600
That's $600 that could have paid for a backup sensor! Guess what I ordered next?
Then I checked out the HandA site to see the install instructions. They have to take half the truck apart

. I decided to cancel that order. Not too crazy about the extent of dismantling. Partly a lack of confidence in the mechanics (strictly my own impression) and partly out of concern that once you take something apart, it's never the same. I've been lucky with my Ridge. No problems with it. Like to keep it that way.
Interestingly, I think the service manager was secretly relieved. Didn't give me any flack about having to return the parts. I don't think he really wanted to take on this task.
So now I'm considering a wireless system. Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?
BTW...One of the first things I told my wife when we picked up our Ridge was that we should get backup sensors. This truck's a little tricky backing up.
"Oh no...we'll get used to it". Well guess who's a convert now

. This is one "I told you so..." that I really hate to use!
