Being in the auto body business these new Ford alloy bodys look like nothing but trouble to me. How are you supposed to repair dents without rear access? They may not rust but aluminum does corrode. I have seen Explorers with aluminum fenders come in with half the paint gone and when you start sanding them they just disintegrate. They will probably hold up better than steel in New England but when they need repair they will be expensive to fix. Enough thread drift back to plastic bodies.
