If I'm gonna have aluminum panels on a new Ranger, I want an aluminum bed (or at least the bedsides) more than aluminum fenders or doors, etc.. The beds always seem to rot out on the wheel wells and around the front drivers side mounting bolt structure. Come on Ford! Get your head outta your arse! lol

The new Ranger will have aluminum fenders, hood and tailgate.
I am guessing the next redesign will be all aluminum but they just tweaked a copy/paste body from overseas to get started.
