Is it covered by warranty? As new as your truck is I'd think they would fix it for free.
I would say your type of failure is very rare, there is usually some kind of warning. There is a lot of things that can fail in a rear end, axles can break, gears can break, bearings can fail and lock up, seals can fail and leak all the rear grease out etc. But for a sudden failure with a newer truck, I'd say that is very rare.
I'd want a new driveshaft and a completly new rear end, and then I would feel it is safe. When I say a new rear end, I mean the housing and all the guts.
