The bumpers are still steel, but the vast majority of the body is aluminum. I could be crazy but I remember the bumpers being aluminum at one point and I was disappointed to find that mine are steel.

My dad bought his truck in 2015 when they switched to aluminum, The body looks great almost brand new but the front and rear bumpers are rusted, slightly disappointed mine are not aluminum as well.

I have a 2024 Platinum so the hood geometry is like the Tremor. I’ve driven in some gnarly wind and haven’t seen anything move or flex. Maybe it’s not just a material (aluminum vs. steel) problem but also about the geometry?

Has anyone with a tremor or ‘24 Platty/Tremor/King Ranch experienced this? Just curious.

Is this normal?

My hood (2021 XLT) has jiggled around in high winds since the beginning. I've tried to adjust the hood stops a couple times but they don't seem to want to move.
My headlights weren't aligned properly either from factory, I was definitely blinding people until I adjusted them down several degrees.

When on two-lane highways and semis pass in the opposite direction, my hood does as described. It's definitely unnerving.
