THis is a picture from the link above.
Who keeps saying that a aluminum body is "New"? Anyone hear of Range Rover? One of the reasons they where so popular in Africa is the aluminum body. It would not rust, and held up best to elephants and rhino's hitting them.
I think that Ford made a great decision to make the F-150 out of aluminum, and drop the tiny Ranger. You can get the F-150 for only a few dollars a month more than the Ranger, and now they are about the same weight, and will get about the same mileage too.
