So, am I to assume that GM owners don't know how to load a load of bricks into a pickup?! And GM is keeping the steel bed for the half witted mouth breathers that say " hey joe bob, just dump that load into my new pickup!" Anyone that would do that deserves to have there license (any type) taken away! Not to mention the fact what contractor worth anything would be using a 1/2 ton for HD work. More than likely every single one of those actors will never put anything more than a couple bags of manure in the bed. An who puts a tool box on the edge of their bedside?!

Ford is moving ahead while GM is hanging by its own noose!

I guess you never owned a work truck, only a grocery getter. While we are always more careful with a new truck, if you have a work truck on a farm or job site stuff happens and things don't always get laid softly in the bed.

Got to agree with camperforlife here. I have hauled two loads of stone dropped in the bed by a skid loader and three loads of mulch also dropped in by a loader. Not a single dent or hole in my bed.

I bought a truck to use it to haul things in. Looks like the Blue Oval gang can't do that with their trucks. Aluminum has it's uses in a truck just not in the bed! Maybe Ford will go back to a steel bed when they add their baby diesel. BTW you guys do know Ford is going all aluminum in their HD trucks also right! Looks like they will need to rethink that idea, at lest for the bed.

:) Hi, GM has no fear from Dodge so they didn't include it in the fake drop test. You believe anything that makes Ford look bad because you are so insecure with you no-payload slow moving Prius/Dodge. Let's see this test done to all trucks from someone like TFL. (not Government Motors)

I can reset my mileage meter and let off of the throttle and show 50 MPG too. You mileage picture is meaningless just like GM's drop test.


This reminds me of a monster truck show that I went to. They crushed the safest cars on the road. (Volvos) Days later it was noted that the Volvo pillars were cut more than halfway through with sawzalls.
