Should be around $3200 in damage. Had a similar collision in June, that's what my bill was. They even replaced the muffler because the tip was dented. I had no damage to the tailgate but they did have to re-align it as the brace the latch plate is on has to be replaced, or at least removed and reinstalled.

My shop missed transferring the rear support brackets for the load floor and the plug at the bottom of the spare tire post, they have since installed new parts for those. Mine took about 2 weeks for repair but the shop was backed up a little.

Glad to hear nobody was hurt.

Are they only pounding out the spare tire well?

That's what my spare tire well looked like, the white seam sealer at the top of the picture is supposed to be vertical, it's horizontal. They replaced that pan and the rear body panel on mine. Body labor for that books at 19 hours, that's where most of my $3200 came from. If yours looks anything close, I'm not sure I'd want anything other than panel replacement.
