I'm impressed at how well that held up. I swear if I did that to my Frontier, the sledge would go through the metal...

I would like to see them do that to a steel body truck and repair both to see the difference.

Like you guys are saying, I'd like to see them smash up both bodies and get an average quote from some local body shops and a quote from some ford dealers.
