Plastic Fuel Door
What is your opinion on using a plastic fuel door on an all aluminum body truck that is called Super Duty/ Heavy Duty? The plastic fuel door is on my 2019 F 250 XLT CC FX4 6.2L 6 speed auto 6.75 bed ultimate trailer tow camera XLT premium package.

Cheesy as they are, i doubt it could be popped out of aluminum. Aluminum sheet doesn't do so well with compound curves. I think a machined aluminum fuel door whould have been cool, but im sure it would be cost prohibitive.

It's not structural and doesn't corrode. I'm fine with it.
I estimate I have filled the fuel tank approximately 120 times and the DEF about 30 times and have had no issues with the fuel door.

My uncle had a 2008 F150, lost his grip on a bungee cord holding some cargo, it whipped around the bed and shattered the fuel door into about 10 pieces 
Why would they do this???
