I noticed that yesterday when I was hand washing my truck for the first time. The one on my passenger side creaks slightly when I pressed on it. The seams on mine are almost invisible so I probably never would have noticed otherwise. Interesting idea.Guess they wont rust out. not sure if its even plastic but it's definatley two different pieces.
Any one know if the cab and doors are Aluminum?
I don’t care that they’re plastic, but I wasn’t too happy to discover that my driver side cap doesn’t fit properly. I noticed it after inspecting the paint protection film I had installed on the rocker panels. The driver side wasnt clipped in properly because it doesn’t fit. After a few hard hits with my fist, I got the clip to engage, but it’s still not perfect. Just another example of Ford’s terrible QC on these 2021 trucks.
The cab and doors are aluminum. You will find steel in the tailgate for strength. Ford most likely is using plastic corner caps on the Cab to help with any future damage as aluminum is a bit harder to work with. The whole side of the cap is one piece of aluminum.
Did anything else ever come of this? I recently noticed my passenger side cab corner is mis-aligned, and the top is coming into contact with the door / paint.
Daaaaang Son!The cab and doors are aluminum. You will find steel in the tailgate for strength. Ford most likely is using plastic corner caps on the Cab to help with any future damage as aluminum is a bit harder to work with. The whole side of the cap is one piece of aluminum.
Included is a picture for reference.
