I’m confused is it good or bad news?
It’s a good thing and shouldn’t increase your risk of totaling out or significant repairs in an accident. Whether due to deformation or tears in the metal the repairs remain the same. In most cases, the damage to a vehicle is limited to the superficial sheet metal over the safety cell. I got hit by a semi truck in the driver side door and pushed down the interstate for about 80 yards a few years back. Vehicle looked smashed to hell, but once they got the sheet metal off the safety cell was intact and the vehicle was repaired. I still drive the vehicle today (it’s my trade in).Yes?
It depends on which qualities you value. Ford appears to be betting that you want to cut weight and will prefer to replace/total rather than do extensive repairs.
Also, I used to be a process engineer in a factory that made all the parts we’re talking about here so I do know what I’m talking about.
