Ford has said they are to eat the up costs of going aluminum when they said they are "not raising tne price of the new F-155". Now they are saying that the replacment panels and fornt structure costs are not going up? Sorry but these components costs are a lot highter then comparable parts made out of steel. So the only way to price them tne same is for Ford to eat the increase. If they do how long are they willing to do this? Aslo will GM be willing to do the same?
Tne insurance industry is not going to eat the cost so the only way to keep rates the same as the current trucks ks if the repair cost are the same right?
Again buy anything you want just make sure you know what the costs will be before you buy. I sure as hell would not believe any thing a manufacturer is saying when it comes to this. If you really think Ford is telling the truth I have a bridge I will sell you. Yep they where sssooooo honest wih me....not. Again I don't care what you buy.
