Which parts are aluminum?

[OldSoulNewMaverick]

The spec sheet describes the vehicle as “High-strength steel spaceframe, mild steel body panels.”
I've heard that the hood is made out of aluminum (along with a mention of "some other parts"), but will the Maverick have the aluminum truck bed like the F150? I'm curious.....haven't decided on an aftermarket spray-in bedliner, mainly because I assumed the bed would be aluminum and not prone to rust.... but now I can't find any specific info.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Watch the new Hands-On Video in the News section. It states the bed is all steel...

I would expect the bed to be steel with the exception of the tailgate. Bet a hunsky right now that is aluminum.

Mostly steel. I believe the Hood and tailgate are aluminum.

What is your source for these?

OK, cuz homemade carbon fibre lasts forever.

My bed came with factory sprayed in bed liner. Mine was bought on the lot and I highly recommend that accessory if you don’t have it regardless of what it’s made of.

Not sure the tailgate is anything but steel. The hood is confirmed aluminum.

Some of the front underframe of the hood is steel. If you want to find out what is steel and what's not, do what I do: see if a magnet will stick
