A Tulsa driver's 2021 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew was declared a total loss after a multi-vehicle collision. The carrier's CCC ONE valuation came in at $31,800, with three "fair" condition adjustments and two comps pulled from outside the Oklahoma market. Our appraiser rebuilt the comp set using genuine Oklahoma dealer inventory, corrected trim and option coding, and removed the unsupported condition deductions. Final settlement after appraisal: $37,150 — a +$5,350 increase, plus Oklahoma sales tax and title fees paid on top.
