So the steel trucks basically had equal collision losses and better comprehensive to their aluminum counterparts? Not sure where the benefit of insurance rates comes in when it didn’t improve anything over previous steel models.

Here’s my take on the aluminum, I was a t Rayburn two weeks ago and my 2019 deisel was in a golf ball size and maybe a little bigger and I have a total of 1100$ damage. DeanC was down there and knows the storm I’m talking about. I was pleasantly suprised with how it held up.

Wondering how many vehicles received damage from that storm? My steel roof did good on my home.

I did see a new 150 with a hole punched all the way thru the tail gate. No indention around it either. Thought that was weird

Just picked up my new F150 platinum Saturday, insurance was the same as my wife’s 2017 Ford Edge. The agent told me due to the high safety ratings of these trucks it offsets the slightly higher repair. For what it’s worth, liked my 2016 Lariat F150.... LOVE this new one, can’t wait to put the Ranger behind it

every truck in the parking lot at the motel had damage and none worse than the others. I did see truck that was at Umphrey with the windshields beat out of them and big dents, also saw the video one of those guys took and it was as big of hail as I’ve ever seen.

You anti ford guys better get use to it, Dodge and Chevy are going to more aluminum panels every year.

I won't do it, my newer ram will be the last truck I buy if thats the case. I owned a body shop and dealt with these when they first came out. No thanks.
Has anyone seen the new jeep JL? I could surf on the doors with all the waves. I know a lot of people don't notice this stuff but it drives me nuts!

I’m not sure where the wavy body panel comments come from.... I’m VERY particular about the details and I’ve never seen a wavy aluminum body f150. Different choices out there for a reason I guess

I've seen the wavy panels, especially on the super duty trucks, almost every one looks terrible to a trained eye. But it's not as bad as the severe orange peel paint on the new Rams lol...

Interesting, my insurance co is hammering the crud out of me on my 2018 f150. My “most stolen” F350 and wife’s Mercedes are both a lot cheaper than my 1/2 ton.

I used to have these Ford Chevy Dodge debates in High School. Now, I don't pay attention to what other people spend their money on.
