Ford literature can be deceiving on aluminum vs steel with the F-150 getting more air time..
So it's easy to see why one could say a 700 pound saying instead of a 350 pound savings that include the door panels..
Ford (NYSE:F) took the wraps off of its all-new 2017 F-Series Super Duty pickups on Thursday.
These are the brawnier siblings of Ford's big-selling F-150 pickup that was all-new for 2015. Like the new F-150, the Super Duty models have body panels made of a sturdy aluminum alloy.
Those new panels helped cut the weight of the big pickups, just as they did with the F-150. But the weight savings aren't as much as you'd think: The new Super Duty models are "up to" 350 pounds lighter than the old ones, Ford says. Ford managed "up to 700 pounds" with the F-150.
