Back on the door subject, you look at ANY one of those trucks and look at the doors right at the bottom of the window, at the back. Not to mention all are our company trucks are the same, and all have the same problem.
The problems are all the same on everyone it should have been a recall!

Only way to avoid this is roll down the window a crack and shut the door, air pressure is so tight the door flexes!
I should have told OVERKILL about this, and how Ford did a great job on them :laughhard

Just drove mine 4,000Km to New Brunswick and back.....

What is this door issue? Other than rusting on the seam at the bottom of the door (where mine is, and has been Krown'd, mom's 2000 does not have the rust there, I checked when I was down east) I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about?

Weak doors? One has to only look at a Jeep Grand Cherokee, where the doors are so thin, the entire latching mechanism will rip out of the door when the pins start to go, now THAT is a weak door
