The whole aluminum thing by itself is a case for my distrust, then the missing crash deflectors on the supercabs, and now learning that the F150 uses 'structural adhesive' just makes me want to steer away from the F150 (long time Ford guy here too.)
Just my opinion, but I think the aluminum body will be fine. GM and FCA will probably do the same in a few years. And, I'm sure the adhesive has been properly tested and will hold up well. I personally am just bothered about why they chose to leave off the crash deflectors on the regular cab and supercab models.
