Aluminum body damage video
Here as a link to YouTube where an F250 aluminum body was in a wreck. Pretty interesting. It also stated that GM will be going to aluminum in 2019. Big Truck Big RV

I don't have a dog in this fight, but damage to the new Ford bodies can get pretty interesting. I saw an F-150 that hooked something low and sharp. like, maybe a knee high, I beam style, guard rail post. From the back of the front wheel arch to the step bumper, all sheetmetal below the point of impact was simply missing, including the bottom of the door skin. Looked like somebody ran a grinding wheel straight down the truck, then ripped all the skin off, below the grind line. For better, or worse, it was nothing like what you would expect with a steel skin.
