Personally, as long as it isn’t affecting drivability (assuming you don’t have alternate transportation), I’d just wait for the new door. Even if they can find one in the same color, they’ll probably have to end up repainting it to get a good color match, so I doubt it’d be any cheaper—the part would probably be cheaper, but there’d be more labor in the used door, seeing as how they’d have to strip in in addition to prepping it for paint, and the labor is where the real cost is.

Placed my order on 12.5.25 for a f350 platinum plus.  Dealer said they were only building 4 percent of the platinum plus orders.  Is this true? What are my chances of getting this built?

I don't have to, but ok....had HINTS of socialism. Also, a GM big shot said in Automotive News 10 years ago that you won't recognize the automotive landscape someday.  In fact he even said there might not be a Ford or GM someday. Nobody took him seriously. That prediction is coming true slowly but surely.  Ford is thinning itself out into oblivion.

Yes but..... CAFE was most certainly not a regulation that favored the automakers.  It forced them to spend billions improving fuel economy and to do stupid things like give away small cars because consumers wanted larger utilities and trucks.  And higher fuel taxes like Europe force buyers into smaller vehicles which is the exact opposite of a free market.  It's just market manipulation in the other direction.   The chicken tax may be stupid but it didn't stop Toyota or Nissan from competing by building trucks here.  Only the Tacoma was really successful and that was due in part to gm and ford exiting the segment.  The US market is plenty big enough for companies to build vehicles here.  The Japanese and Koreans have done it very successfully.  

Personally, I check with some paintless dent repair places before replacing the door.  You'd be surprised at how well they can fix some of those major looking dents.  I saw a cab corner on an aluminum super duty get repaired on a YouTube video.  That was easily a fist sized smack with creases on a corner no less.  Came out looking new.

While akirby is correct that there is no such thing as corporate socialism in the U.S. or EU automotive industry using the basic definition of socialism,   socialism noun so·cial·ism ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zəm  a : a system of society or of group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state   ...in neither the U.S. or EU is the automotive industry a model of free market capitalism. What Biker16 described as socialism for corporations is actually regulatory capture:   The late George Stigler, a Nobel laureate economist at the University of Chicago noted that regulated industries such as automotive maintain a keen and immediate interest in influencing regulators, whereas ordinary citizens are less motivated. As a result, even though the rules in question, such as pollution standards, often affect citizens in the aggregate, individuals are unlikely to lobby regulators to the degree that regulated industries do.   Regulated industries devote large budgets to influencing regulators at federal, state, and local levels. By contrast, individual citizens spend only limited resources to advocate for their own rights. This is an extension of the concept of concentrated benefits and dispersed costs of regulation, public policy, and collective action in general, as described by economist Mancur Olsen.   I found the post elsewhere on this forum where Biker16 explained why the European automotive industry is closer to true capitalism than U.S. automotive industry:  

Spot on. A hopelessly indoctrinated person that believes all his woes in life are caused by capitalism, greedy corporations, and greedy individuals that have taken everything from him.

So we should drop all tariffs on imports but allow other countries to tariff our exports?  How is that fair and how does that benefit US producers?   Those big bad corporations you hate create millions of well paying jobs with great benefits.     There is no such thing as corporate socialism because those corporations are not owned by the government.  They may or may not be subsidized by govt either directly or indirectly but they are independent businesses and literally anyone can enter that market just like Tesla, Rivian and Lucid and competition within the market is free.     What you want is to allow import of cheap vehicles and to force people to buy cheap, smaller vehicles through higher gas prices and taxes.  And you don't care if millions of people lose their jobs and can't afford to buy anything.  

I refuse to engage with you over this because there is no charging of your views, so its just not worth it.    I have much better things to do with my time 

Sounds like Gulf War 2, or Vietnam    Anyone else find it interesting that American refineries cannot refine American oil ?    But Venezuelan oil works very well in our refineries.    Help me understand how this administration who literally gives zero f's about anyone except themselves, is so concerned about a country in South America. So much so that it it has no problem. Unaliving suspected drug traffickers.    But I digress.
