Jeremiah all vehicles use body adhesives along with spot welds. The biggest issue with the new aluminum bodied F-150 is insurance cost and repair cost. Despite what Fishy might tell you the fact is the F-150 is going to cost you more all around, upfront, fuel and insurance.
Buy what you feel is going to do the best all around job for you and your family.

I understand why you may have made the comment about Fish but this statement "the fact is the F-150 is going to cost you more all around, upfront, fuel and insurance" has not proved out true in any empirical evidence. The base price on the Al F150 went up less than $400 and there have been no appreciable insurance premium increases on these trucks. Not sure what you are referring to on the extra fuel costs.
