2022 hood. I need a new one. This one is aluminum. Is there a difference between steel and aluminum besides price ??

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.

It’s a lease. Don’t want to hear any BS later.

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.

I also had the same thought.
If it's OEM, it's aluminum.

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.
