Aluminum or Steel body construction?

[boatman]

Is the Maverick body aluminum or steel construction? I know my work truck a 250 Superduty is aluminum. Not sure what Ranger or F-150's are?

F150’s were first aluminum it’s my understanding just the hood & tailgate of Maverick are aluminum.

Mostly steel. Same for the Ranger. F-series is mostly aluminum I believe. It can afford to be since its so huge.

Grab a magnet and let us know when you find what is and what isn’t.

Send your Maverick to Sandy Munro for a teardown, and he'll give you a compete bill of materials.

That's meant to be funny, of course. But seriously, everyone on this forum should go to Munro's YouTube channel and ask for a Maverick teardown. How cool would that be?

I just tested mine and everything is steel except for the hood and most of the under structure support. The 2 main hood supports are steel. The tailgate is steel.
