Hail Storm - Yikes!
Had a 2:30 am thunderstorm that dropped quarter to golf ball sized hail for a couple minutes (felt like a hour). Absolutely no damage or dents to the 17 F350!
Lots of damage to other vehicles and adjacent homes in the area. Very impressed with integrity of the aluminum to withstand the pounding it took.
Many thanks to Ford for the engineering and build quality of this machine! It felt great to show the neighbor my truck with no denting vs his Tacoma that had a hood that was dimpled and pock marked! Will try to post some pics if he will let me take some shots of his truck LOL.

I was also worried a few weeks back when we had a line of storms with hail come through. I was about to head to the carwash to park there. I was about to leave as it came down pouring rain and hail. I was cringing watching the hail bounce off my truck. I have seen hail ruin airplanes many times and thats all I saw happening. To my surprise not one darn ding. I was very relieved. So Fords claim to be more dent resistant has proven true so far for me.

Got Hail?
Oct 2 2016. Picking my wife up from the Sacramento airport when we encountered a sudden hail storm. Traveling in Roseville south on Hwy 65 entering Hwy 80 eastbound. No damage to the truck.

All new hail. It came on suddenly and took maybe 2 miles to drive out of. It was so loud we had to shout to hear one another. I thought for sure when we got home we would have body damage but there was none.

Now that I know how big the hail was I am thankful my car wasn't dented.
