Interesting perspective on Fords decision to go all aluminum on the F-150: Ford's Epic Gamble

Nothing wrong with it. Will be a big hit in the rust belt I bet. Couple hundo lbs weight savings doesn't mean much to me but a truck that the body won't rust out on IS a big deal.
I'm not a big Ford fan but this is a smart move if it doesn't come with a big price tag.
I'm not familiar with aluminum bodywork techniques so for me it doesn't appeal if I can't pound out, bondo and paint a fender in my garage but maybe there are easy methods?
I can tell you that my 14 year old aluminum sled trailer has held up impeccably vs steel framed trailers.
