no the new rangers suck they deserved a better design. its ass is too tall stuff dissapears behind it. the engines are too high strung little hot boxs. the interiors are cheap in the wrong way and look nice but will all go the way of the ranger center console lid… ripped torn and smashed. though the aluminum body soumds fun till its a drill welds and replace the whole panel moment. i never get wleded panels back do you …they always rivet them back together for me.
on work and personal 8 in total all on f250s though with 6.0ls in the last 3 years. normally somone backs into something. like a light pole or construction dumpster …btw generally any damage to bed panels and its easier to replace the panel then fix it.
I don’t think it was badly written for the time but it’s definitely been gamed to the point where pickup trucks need to be part of emissions standards instead of exempt.
It’s too bad that car manufacturers stopped making small pickup trucks.

How many aluminum body panels have you gone through?

Hyundai Santa Cruz is decent but yeah
I’m thinking more like the old Mazda B-Series.
Blame the epa and badly written laws.

Or I can blame the people actually doing it, as well as actively trying to murder the EPA on a daily basis.
