Personally I am not that hot on the use of aluminum body panels.

Also not to mention ... get in a fender bender and you're forced to a dealership ... other shops won't have the equipment to repair aluminum, they'll only be able to replace it.

It was with this in mind that I picked up my 2014 F-150 last month.

You can just push it back out with your fingers, if that doesn’t work patch it up with Reynold’s Wrap.

That too was the reason I got the `14 F-150 last

month instead of waiting for the aluminum truck.

Only thing I don`t care for is the dash kinda

shows up on the windshield on mine...distracting.

The no gas cap and electric steering suprised me.

man, I miss the FRP panels on the Saturn. Wonder if I could resurrect that tech in the aftermarket here and now? Our Ford Exploder needs some crinkly-dent fixes...

Surely most of the patents are up...
