Wrinkled sheet metal
Like I said in a separate thread, I have a 2011 sitting in my driveway, about to pull the trigger.
I was looking the vehicle over and when I opened the passenger's rear door, I notice that the sheet metal in the area described by 'the bottom left of the door frame' is wrinkled. Really quite wrinkled. I this common in the stamping process? The driver's side rear door frame shows some wrinkles in the same area, but not as bad.
Anyone want to tell me how to post up a pic from my iPhone?

You should be able to upload pics in the "advanced" edit box. Down at the bottom. But I don't know if you can do it straight from the phone.
If it weren't a new truck, from your description I'd say it'd been in a front end collision.

There are two ways. The dialog you are seeing is asking for a web address to an offsite hosting service. You'd have to put the pictures on Photobucket or something like that.
If you look down further, in the "Additional Options" area, you should see a button that says "Manage Attachments". It will contain a dialog that will let you pick up to three pictures off of your computer and it will upload to the post.

I don't know about the iphone, but that wrinkle sounds very normal. It is where the door threshold radius rounds the corner into the vertical. That press stamping always results in some wrinkling. Sort of a fan fold kind of thing. Or pleats.

To post from an iphone just get the pictures Direct URL (If you dont have one get a photo uploading app. I use photobucket)
Then take that URL and paste it into the reply box. Just put "[IMG]" and [/IMG] before and after the URL.
In the photobucket app, it will provide you with the "IMG" code already formatted.

use the photobucket app for your iphone. I use it all the time. then go into setting and make sure it uploads at full resolution
after it uploads, you can select the picture and it will give you the [img] codes. tap on that and it will auto copy it for ya.
wrinkles sound normal to me. maybe robot "A" has more jaw strength than robot "b"

I think the doors are stamped. And stamping is really very primitive. Basically a heavy weight gets raised about 30ft and then slams into what ever its stamping. I saw something about it on TV. The stamping facilities are built on dampeners otherwise they could cause seismic activity. Fun fact of the day.

A local company makes the door skins for superduties. I've been in the plant and seen all the skins hanging on a over head conveyor. They were using a hydraulic press to form the skins.
This was back in 97-98 before the superduty was out. I couldn't believe how big the door skins for the "new super duty" were. I may have even saw one of the skins that is on my excursion now. Thats kinda neat.
