....and the wife put a dent on our 2015 Ford F150 XLT truck. Can this easily be popped out? If so, how much is it gonna cost? Location is on passenger side, right front fender.

That be easily popped out by a body shop. I had one of that size on a door of my 2009 F.150 and it I believe it was around $65 back then. Shouldn't need any paint touch up or anything.

Yep....lowes dented my wheel well while they were loading 4x4's in my truck. Popped it right back out with a couple hits with a rubber hammer.

Thanks! My poor wife is learning how to drive this thing, LOL. I told her I'm sure this is not going to be your first dent. She coming from driving a ford focus and nissan murrano for the past 10yrs. I have a rubber mallet. I'll bang away at it very carefully. Wish me luck! :/

I just had a paint less dent repair guy fix three small dings on mine. He did a great job. They can fix aluminum. Is it me or does it seem like these trucks dent easer then the steel counterparts? I am super careful with my trucks and have never had issues with dings. They are not from parking lots. I don't park near anyone. I get them just from driving down the road.

Get a can of compressed air. Turn it upside down will release very frozen liquid. Heat the area up nice and warm with a heat gun and then spray the cold air on it and it will pop right out. Done it a few times, works like a charm.
