Ford aluminum body reduces repair cost
1)Ford F-150 (31.8% below average)
2)Ram 1500 (14% below average)
3)GMC Sierra (10.7% below average)
4)Chevy Silverado (10.3% below average)
5)Toyota Tundra (8% below average)
6)Nissan Titan (13.5% above average)
Since all of the trucks are below average I assume that the baseline is all vehicles on the road though I don't see that stated in the article.
Pickup insurance costs
It looks like Edmunds jumped the gun on the risk of aluminum.
Edmunds test
One thing that I find interesting is that the F150 had more of the expensive stuff that Edmunds broke than other brands during this time period and still come out well.
