I don’t think there is enough information on the design of the truck to claim how their “exoskeleton” design works. But 80% of the cars on the road are unibody.
I think the point your getting at is the stainless panels. With today’s body shop techniques, your probably right. Cutting out and welding in new stainless isn’t an issue. Finding some skilled panel beaters that can do the whole job without any fillers will be another scenario. It’s doable with the right skilled hands, but time consuming and honestly, not many people out there have those skills anymore. More than likely all the panels are replaceable just like every other car on the road. Exoskeleton was just a fancy way to say unibody and try and put down the body on frame trucks.
