[QUOTE="McCarthy, post: 1887416, member: 65589"] Aluminum body F150's are far more dent resistant than steel bodied F150's, speaking from experience. 2017 ish, 50f all day, roads melt, water runs across them, then freezes into polished ice. Nighttime, drops to below freezing and snows, making some parts of the road dirt covered in snow, and some parts polished glare ice covered in snow. For those unfamiliar, ice with fresh snow is literally so slippery you cannot stand on it, let alone turn... Anyway, slide off the edge of the road, think I just wrecked a brand new truck, nope. Even rolling over down an embankment and the aluminum remained dent free. Pic 1: Wider view. Can just see truck in corner of pic: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_4032.JPG"]397353[/ATTACH] Pic 2: Shot of truck: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_4033.JPG"]397355[/ATTACH] Pic 3, next day, zero damage. No dents. Light scratches that buffed out. If it was a steel body truck it is likely the entire side of the box and doors would have caved.
