You're a little late to the party. A thread on this commercial is already running.

LOL haven't seen it.

you might be late but this is the first I've seen of it

First time and interesting Thanks

As I posted in the other thread "I have hauled two loads of stone dropped in the bed by a skid loader and three loads of mulch also dropped in by a loader. Not a single dent or hole in my bed.

I bought a truck to use it to haul things in. Looks like the Blue Oval gang can't do that with their trucks. Aluminum has it's uses in a truck just not in the bed! Maybe Ford will go back to a steel bed when they add their baby diesel. BTW you guys do know Ford is going all aluminum in their HD trucks also right! Looks like they will need to rethink that idea, at lest for the bed."

My bet is Ford will very quickly switch back to steel in the bed, if not they will be losing a whole lot of sales.

part of the reason I bought a 2016 super duty, im just not sold on having an alum truck, not that I plan to drop cinder blocks into the bed.

You're probably right. I wonder how many of the trucks on the road are used to actually haul anything other than occasional use for furniture, etc..
I think a lot of people buy them because the like them, not for utility use. It's just another type of SUV to some people.

Several years ago I worked with a guy who had a Ford with a bed cap. Every couple months he waxed the truck, including the bed.
I asked him what he did if he wanted to haul something dirty or messy.
He said he borrowed his neighbors truck to haul anything.
You know the people I'm talking about. :C

Let's all be honest here, the F150 isn't really a truck and the offerings by other brands isn't much different. It is a car with a truck bed on it. It must ride nice, look like a truck, work well with trips to the store and to sporting events with the kids and their stuff, but to get a real truck you need to move up a bit to a 3/4 ton or greater.

I'm not bashing Ford here, it is just what it is or isn't.

That's what I was saying, they buy Ford/Chevy/Ram but, they're used like a Honda Ridgeline.

I would rather push my Ford than drive a Chevy.
They have to say something since all other brands fail miserably in Crash tests and all other areas. Keep dreaming Chevy Boys .
:D
