People probably complained when wood beds went to steel. Still, LOL at the extra ugly.....
Ya whats up with that? still erks me.
I really don't have an opinion, if it lasts and saves weight only time will tell, it is a departure. Not a brand verses brand but aluminum verses steel. Though as thin as steels gotten on trucks maybe the Al will be less prone to 'toolbox' placement damage.
To the weight I read that some of the savings went to the frame and other, possibly the longer trucks just used (or needed) more of it? Just a WAG. I haven't really looked at the numbers.
We are in the process of seriously thinking about buying a new Ford , not sure about 1st year on the Al construction, that and sticker shock...
