Military grade aluminum LOL

The only people who dump stuff like that in their truck usually are doing it when the outside of the truck is looking like the inside of those beds.

I'm no Ford guy, but that is a lame commercial GM.

The ram boys have serious inferiority issues

What you going to do when Dodge starts building their trucks out of aluminum? Forget you made all these snarky comments for the last two years?

it will be made from special Italian cummins aluminum! Far superior to anything ford or chevy can produce.

I think you are both wrong. Im not sure Fiat will even be around then considering the debt they have and cannot pay. With China in deep negotiations to buy them out it will be Chinese alumn. with a Chinese running gear if they are still building Rams.
Lets also remember this thread was not started as a GM vs Ford deal but just by the insecure Fiat guys to try to bash Ford again. What are you boys going to try to be proud of when your brand no longer exist?:S

On edit here I just want it to be clear my remarks do not include all Ram owners. Just the little boys that are always trying to start Ford or GM threads just to try to bash them. They know who they are.

I was thinking maybe the GM used blocks with the corners knocked off. Tests are usually a joke.

This coming from a guy who has a 3.0L V6 diesel. That's bold dude.

You Ram and GM boys need to review the crash test before denouncing the "military grade aluminum" Ford.

Pickup crash test.

Measures taken from the crash test dummy in all but the F-150 indicated a likelihood of serious lower leg, ankle and foot injuries.

"Drivers in these pickups would need help freeing their legs from the wreckage following a small overlap crash.

My sympathies when they are trying to free your feet and legs from the wreckage of your trucks with a poor rating.

Just an observation here but I saw the new f 150s took more of a pounding than my Ram in the last 2 hail storms here in Wylie Texas.

I would like to see the test repeated with a spray-in bed liner.
Because that is what my next truck will have.

Or have the bed liner people already done a demo?

The bricks demo was pointless. Who would do that? The toolbox demo though - I've had that type of impact in my truck bed (when I owned a truck) many many times. I'd be very angry if that caused a hole. Can you imagine the repair cost? $$$

Hey DodgeBoy I fail to see why you are posting a Chevy vs. Ford thread. Why you all fired up on the Chevy "high strength steel" vs. the Ford aluminum? Are you trying to falsely some how by comparison claim Ram must be similarly better than Ford? You could possibly make that comparison if Ram body panels didn't suffer from premature rust through. As it is now, the Ram body panels will rust through and fall off long before the Ford dents even become a concern.

To get it right, Ram can outsource it to someone who is competent. You know: Engine=Cummins, Transmission=Aisin, Wheels=Alcoa. Maybe Ram can outsource their bodies to Ford since it will have then most experience? Yes, I own a Ram but also understand that my choice could also be improved upon. To succeed, you hire people brighter than you - You can apply the same to building a truck. To make a good truck, you pick the best parts available to you in the field.
