I don't know realistically how that would compare to steel in terms of heavy loads dropping on it but the weight savings is going to be obvious.
That is just marketing bullshit. Who is actually dropping insanely heavy items into the bed of their truck? I've never seen someone literally launch a toolbox into the bed of their truck, either because they care about their tools and/or their truck.
I had 500 miles on my Canyon and I had a guy not so gently max the payload with a pallet of engineered hardwoods. My truck isn't getting a workout like my Toyotas used to when I worked in construction but yeah, I would drop a lot of heavy stuff in them fairly regularly.
Evan: I have the same feature on my truck tailgate and I love it. My buddy with a Raptor actually noticed it the other day and said he wished he had that feature on his truck. I also keep my tailgate locked constantly because I keep hearing these stories about tailgates getting stolen
