Impact of Lighter, Alum. F150 on Towing

With a lighter body is Ford going with lighter springs, shocks, axels, etc to reduce the weight even more? Or are lighter components part of the 700# weight savings. As to the corrosion question, Semi tractors have had aluminum cabs and other components for many years and even with a million miles still look good. I am sure Ford has learned from the corrosion problems in the past and hopefully will use better paint to solve the problem. They have a lot riding on these new pickups.
