All the aluminum stock I have ever purchased was cheaper than the steel and was near the same strength in most applications. I am sure that Ford has done their research to continue to make a quality truck. I am sure there are ways to protect and prevent the deterioration of the truck. The land rovers seemed to do all right with the aluminum bodies I believe, but am by far not an expert on the land rover. That comment was about the land rover is purely hearsay.

I would buy an aluminum F-150 if I was in the market for a brand new truck.
