i have a 2015 f150 Platinum in silver. When I bought it I noticed that two of the doors had an issue where when the outer door aluminum was folded it cracked the metal. The drivers door and rear passenger side both have cracks in the metal on the lower edge. The driver door is cracked all the way through and the other is minimal. Hasn't seem to have gotten worse over year and half . I am the only one who would ever notice it as it is just on that inside lip. Dealer says to fix it they need to replace both doors and repaint the complete doors the ingot silver. Want opinions on if I should just leave it or have it done and painted. Am I opening a can of worms having both sides replaced a door and new paint for such a small issue?

 

Personally, I would get into a dealer and get it looked after. I want new doors, not just bondo'ed and painted.

 

They said they would completely replace the doors. Will take two weeks in the shop. Just wondering if it is worth it for small crack in two doors at bottom.

 

It's up to you... at the end, really. How much is it? Insurance claim?

 

It's still under warranty now. I am always weary of non factory paint jobs.

 

I would be surprised if they replaced the doors...

If they are covering it with the warranty you should have it fixed. They can order the doors and call you when the come in. You'll be able to verify that they are in fact replacing the doors. You can also ask to see the old doors after the repair.

The paint should not be a concern, a decent painter will get it to match. If anything you'll probably end up with thicker paint on the doors than from the original factory paint. OEM doors come from the factory in electrostic primer (E-coat) and they're aluminum so rust is not a problem.

 

I have a 2014 ingot silver truck. Had to get my front bumper replaced after some tire tread did some damage.

They painted the new bumper and I couldn't tell the difference.

 

Tough call. Metallic silver is one of the more difficult colors to match.

 

Take it in and get it fixed. If you don't, every time you look at it in the future it will bother you and you will wonder why you didn't get it fixed under warranty.

 

The door skins are aluminum on this truck? I thought they were steel, and just the bed is aluminum.
