That's from a newspaper not Ford. Haven't seen anything from Ford that says that.
Well Spud, it sounds like the newspaper is quoting a release from Ford's Mike Levine? So this may be accurate info.
Where's a link to "your" info that v10 will still only be in the chassis/cab's?
Personally, I was hoping they introduce a 5.0L Ecoboost...:W

Had an aluminum Hatch on my suburban and that aluminum was corroding around the rear wiper and metal window glass button. I also know of my friends 13 explorer with corrosion on his hood by the welds paint bubbling and not being covered by ford .

They are completely stripped and primed with a zinc-chromate primer before paint to help with adhesion. keep in mind that these planes go through several heat cycles every day from -100 degrees depending on altitude to what ever the ground temp is. Lots of expanding and contracting. If it can hold up to this I have no problem with it on my car or truck.jtallon wrote:minnow wrote:
Airstream ? When was the last time you saw an painted Airstream. Paint can't flake off of a metal it was never used on. And Airliners ? I doubt 99.9% of people would have any idea if a painted commerical airliner was having a peeling paint issue. The fact that they fly 600 mph also may be a factor as compared to 80 mph on a roadway for a Mustang.
If the metal holds up to the weather and abuse of being outside in the elements for decades, and traveling at 600mph, then I'd be happy to have it on my truck, where it'll see far less severe duty.
Perfecting the paint process would be great. But I'll take durable over pretty for my truck pretty much every time. Though I admit I might reverse that decision if I drove a Mustang.
You do realize that planes get repainted every couple of years, and the paint they use often costs over $1000 per gallon.

I'm all for aluminum... Owned a galvanized boat trailer that was used in saltwater that lasted about 6 years and was toast during a time when most all boat trailers were fabricated out of galvanized steel. Today I currently own an aluminum boat trailer that's used in the salt that's 12 years old and the only parts ever replaced where the axles and leaf springs again galvanized parts. I would estimate that all saltwater boats sold today comes on a aluminum trailer simply because they last.
Also owned a 98 F150 that I sold after 7 years 150k miles with no issues on it's aluminum hood. I still see this truck ~1/year and it still has the original hood/paint with no issues after 17 years and over 350k miles.
Well mine is 15 years old and is still in great shape. Used in salt water only.
Wow I haven't seen a galvanized boat trailer in years. There almost obsolete now and all saltwater boats here come only on aluminum trailers and for good reasons
We galvanized boat trailers by the hundreds, and was still doing so when I retired in 2010, still being done.
Me thinks the Salt Water in Texas is different than in NW WA. ;)
