It’s the body, not the frame that’s aluminum.
And despite all of GM’s advertising to the contrary, they’re supposed to have *their* truck converted to aluminum body by next year or the year after.
Thanks. I don’t keep up closely. I was just going on what I thought I heard from my body man last week. I have a 2010 F-150. Got rear-ended by a couple of dope-heads a couple of weeks ago and it went into the shop this morning to be fixed. My body man said they have not had very good experience with repairing the trucks with aluminum parts. He did not elaborate, so I don’t know the specifics of his complaints. But he is personally staying away from the aluminum.
