Sometimes 'good' ideas are not completely...100 %....good ideas. I realize Ford probably chose the F 150 for their first vehicle to have an aluminum body...to improve MPG.
But the F 150 is by far their best selling vehicle. Wonder if it would of been an idea to use one of their cars that doesn't sell as many, to first work out the kinks, etc.
Also be interesting to see if some who are considering a 2015 F 150...if the aluminum body, would be a deal breaker or....not a problem ?
You mean like Jaguar and land rover? They owned them for on about 17 years RR was always Al and Jaguar changed over on Fords watch
I think the owners of expensive luxury jobs...like a Jag or a Land Rover wouldn't be as concerned about 10 % more in repair costs...as Joe Average...the guy who owns one of the best selling vehicles....the F 150. BTW....this is no thing against the F 150 Joe Average...I'm pretty average myself. :)
