Can you buy a steel hood for the 2018 to 2024 Equinox?

GM had a problem we both paint bubbling on the aluminum hoods. Myself, I would prefer the steel, plus it is probably cheaper. For the little amount of weight you will save with aluminum, just skip one meal, and you make up for it.

I'm a bit suspicious. That link lists an OEM part number for this "steel" hood. I'm not sure it's actually a thing. Could be..

I'm not a big fan of aluminum body panels either. Aluminum turns to dust in the rust belt. People believe it's corrosion free. Nope.

another thing to keep in mind is the weight difference. If you change the metal type, you'll need to replace the hood struts too.

It's referencing the original number, but if you click the link you can see they have another part number for it. It is not factory.
