Body Material

In my opinion Dodge has the worst metal used to build their vehicles. Their metal is thinner and rots faster than all the other truck manufactures. They way trucks are produced now, they are made using recycled metals. In some ways this is good, however recycled metals don't always allow paint to stick, causing sheets of paint to come off. Chevy has experienced this on many of it's vehicles. If trucks could be built as rugged as they were in the early 80's and older, and have the mileage of today's vehicles, then they would be awesome all around. The metal used to produce the old vehicles was thicker and most of it was new steel which is why the bodies held us as well as the paint unlike new vehicles.
