    Chassis and Marauder

    MGM updates took place in mid 2003 and the new Chassis was made better.

    Was the 03 pre mid 2003 Marauder made with the old chassis or the new one?

    My understanding is that the '03 Panther Platform was the first year for a car in FORD family to get the Hydroformed frame rails. They also did the truck m(150/250/350) frame that same year. All MMs '03 and '04 have the new frame and alum. crossmember up front.

    BTW, GM was the first manufacturer to introduce the Hydroformed frame -- they did it with the 1997 (beginning year of C5) Corvette.
