What does the truck being made of aluminum have to do with it being struck by lightning? It’s no more or or less conductive than any other metal used in automotive body construction.

The heat of the lightning strike starts the interior on fire instantly and it doesn’t matter what metal it’s behind, it all conducts heat the same.
