Aluminum is metal. The tailgate, doors and I think even the hood is aluminum.No, it’s not metal. Not much is steel on a Gladiator body. Lots of aluminum though
bed sides are steel.The frame, roll cage, bed are steel, would have to run out with a magnet to see if the bed sides are steel.
I learned on the test drive, couldn't find a spot that the magnetic license plate would stick.I figured that out a long time ago. Tried to attach this magnetic sticker to the tailgate.
Had to put it on the side. Fail to understand why Jeep did that. Save a few pennies I guess.![]()
I can assure you Jeep didn't save any pennies going with aluminum. It's an accepted added cost because lower weight means better economy and less emissions per mile to meet federal standards.I figured that out a long time ago. Tried to attach this magnetic sticker to the tailgate.
