Is the cab aluminium?

Obviously the bed is steel but is the entire cab aluminium? If so that's awesome. I hate when the lower cab corners rust out of a truck.

I assume so because they advertise a steel bed. I would think they would not say that or say the whole truck is steel.

Judging by the prices dealers are asking, they might be made out of titanium.

Can't remember where I read it but I think only the hood and doors are aluminum.

Probably fenders too, as they are alum on JL and I doubt they are a different part on the gladiator.

Yeah probably. I'd expect the grille is as well. Maybe the tailgate?

Yeah on my JLU, the only parts of the entire body that are steel are the rear tub corners and the floor pans. Every other body panel on it is aluminum or magnesium because I can't get any magnets to stick. Was hoping that the Gladiator cab was aluminum all the way around, particularly the cab corners and rear wall. Sounds like they probably are. Sweet.

Aw man that's kind of a bummer. Too bad. Guess I'll consider undercoating the cab somehow.
