Opinion on half ton trucks
Im at the point im looking at a new TV. I have done extensive research, poured through both biased and un-biased forums. Watched tons of YouTube videos on MPGs, tow tests, and known mechanical issue...

I have 2 3/4 ton diesel and wouldn't have a 1/2 ton. They are too wimpy, Fords are Aluminum and everything will dent them including boards in the bed. Too bad That when you buy one the 1st thing you have to do is buy a bedliner and brush guard and top of bed protection and put some real metal between the cab and bed. We rented a Toyota Tundra and the bed was pushed into the cab at 20k miles and I grabbed it and pulled it back.
I have been using a 2016 aluminum F150 commercially for nearly 2 years now and have not encountered any of those problems that you have listed. However, I have noticed that the scratches in the paint are not leading to corrosion. I have had a bed pushed into the cab but that was on my old 3/4 ton. From what I have seen until recently everyone use the same bed for all their full size pickups. Ford is putting a little heavier bed on the Super duty trucks now.
