I read the article again.....Ford prepared a statement for him. I've bought a few new vehicles, and never once did I have a statement prepared for me.
As for the '15s....we'll see. An aluminum body could certainly be a FANTASTIC idea, but I want to see what kinds of problems will result, because some are certainly bound to. I want to see what a few Minnesota Winters followed by our Summers do. With a temp difference of ~140 degrees (I've personally seen -40F and +100F here), it will be interesting to see if the aluminum panels get loose due to the expansion and contraction of our extreme weather. I also want to see what happens when we get a good hail storm, and if paintless dent removal is still an option. Either way, shaving ~700libs. off of the truck will make it handle better, and allow it to tow more.
