Default Aluminum panels. Where?
Regarding the 2020 Rangers--Which body panels are aluminum? Rocker panels? Fenders? Doors? Are they more corrosion resistant than steel when exposed to potassium and sodium carbonate? Living in Maine car cancer is common after just a few winters and gets really expensive.

This forum has a lot of info about the old Rangers. Not much on the new Rangers yet. Honestly I bet a simple Google search would give you your answers

You waited all of 2 days. On a forum that is dead, and has morons for moderators.

I don't think the new Ranger uses aluminum like the F150 does.

I googled the question and no one seems to know for sure. Go to a dealer and bring a magnet, then you will know.
