2001-2005 have identical rear floors. For 2006 they changed to the vert rear floor, which is stronger... but can still be ripped.
Best course of action is to structural foam it and epoxy on plates BEFORE you have an issue. Cheaper and stronger.
Once you've had an issue you have to weld it, no more epoxy. Once you foam it, you can't weld it.
