Now they are adding foam and liners to the back of the sheet metal and in the rockers & pillars so new pieces can't be welded in to repair them. How would it be of any benefit for any manufacturers to build trucks that lasted much longer then the warranty? They only make money off those trucks from the 1st sale, any repeat sales cost them income.
This is hardly anything new. My 1992 F-150 had that sound deadener foam behind the rear cab corners. I had to pull it all out before welding in patch panels.
If this was such a conspiracy then why are new Fords made out of aluminum?
