The F150 came with an aluminum hood starting with 1997 model. Probably about 5 -10 million sold since then. If things were that bad I think we all would have heard about it by now? :h
A little over a year ago on this here very forum, the argument from the nay sayers about Ford trucks going with aluminum bodies was...
Remember...??
The insurance will be so expensive nobody will buy those trucks / be able to afford those trucks / want those trucks :W :W :W :W
Didn't happen.......
A non issue............
So now they're predicting they will rust faster / worse than steel?
When this ALSO proves to be a non issue, what will next years attacks focus on?
I must say, this forum will NEVER run out of stuff to discuss. :B
EDIT to apologize to OP.
I posted based on the last several posts and had lost track what the thread originally was started for..
