Totally agree! Commercial trucks and trailers have been made of aluminum, including frames, for 50+ years in all areas of our country without the 'sky is falling" problems brought up here. My belief is that in not too many years every vehicle will be aluminum or plastic to save weight.
I guess I do not understand it either. Ford has used AL for well over a decade. In fact I had a F150 that survived over 10 years in Michigan salt and winters with zero issues on the AL. That lawsuit sited earlier in this thread was a joke. Two guys trying to game the system is hardly an indictment. So we have some complaining Ford does not honor warranty then we get a citation where they made repairs beyond any warranty period and they still are the bad guy.
