Had to take a road trip today and forgot to get gas. Stopped, got out carefully knowing that big stupid crash bar thing by the gas pump. Evidently I let the door go and the next thing I know it's bouncing off that metal bar thingie. Mother.....WHAT

Add 100 bucks to my road trip cost, cause I can't leave that dent there mocking me for being a dumb-@@
Just happened to me today. At a certain point of the door being opened it actually felt like it swung itself the rest of the way open by itself. Argh! Not to mention the metal on these rangers is the thinnest I've ever seen.

Robert, if your door is swinging open too far you might look at your "door check". Some of us had broken ones.

Mine looked like this.

I did the exact same thing the first week I had my Ranger...a little painless dent fix removed the offense...

Yeah, those paintless dent removal guys do beautiful work. I'll wait until I have another before I give them a call.

Mines riddled with tint dents and creases from my own doing.

Slam door, dent around handle.
Trip over, palm puts a dent in the b pillar.

Damn pop can on wheels...

Does anyone remember the TV ads for the F150 touting the 'military grade aluminum' and how strong it is. Hmm.

Got my driver's side on the same thing. Wife got the passenger door on a cart return at the grocery store the same way. Paintless pullers/touch up paint = cant even see it now.
