Not a fan of the Al rear doors...

I have a really good PDR guy, to the point I don't worry so much about dings anymore. I know if I get a typical door ding, I can pretty much get it out 100%.
That being said, if a parking spot looks a little too tight, I will take some effort to park somewhere I think is less likely to get a ding. In the past I would automatically park way in the back or even use a "beater car".

Straddle the white line! When I got my TRX, anytime I parked in a lot, I took up two spaces. If anyone gave me chit, simply said this vehicle is taking $50k per space. Crickets....
Now that I have a Big Horn, I do the same technique, if asked I reply "I transport explosives" lol....

Body work on aluminum is more difficult than steel. Steel has a memory and wants to return to it's pre damaged state, so doing PDR on steel is easier. Aluminum takes it new shape and will require a lot more work to return it to a pre damaged state. PDR on aluminum requires real talent, so be sure you get a quality tech when having PDR done on any aluminum panel.

I try to park out far out away from other vehicles but it's not always possible. The thing I don't like about the Fords aluminum is how wavy it looks, look down the side of any F150 at a 45 degree angle and you will see the waves. GM does not see to have that issue with their aluminum doors.

I have to say one of the few gripes I have with my 2023 is how “light” the rear doors are. When I close them it sounds like they’re loose and falling apart but I don’t feel any wiggles on them. I’m sure they’re fine for me since I don’t work my truck that much. Just got kinda used to the concrete slab doors on my Silverado.

I am going to add that eventually as the doors sound so thin when closing.

My reason for getting running boards that stick out. And I still park in the back!
