Ford claims to have saved hundreds of pounds. Those savings do not just reflect the aluminum bed. Of course, other manufacturers are also making weight reduction modifications elsewhere on their vehicles.
After years of use and hitting bumps occasionally, my steel Dodge Ram bed showed considerable damage. Aluminum would have been much worse. I would suggest adding a plywood base if you have an aluminum bed.
