I'd be tolerant of most any cosmetic compromise if Ford could convince me it was a step forward in function. New cab needs to be more than pretty, and needs to work, 1st gen, without 600 bugs.

I'd like to see a bigger cab...... Toyota's Tundra's cabs are bigger then my Super Dutys....F150s cabs are bigger then my cab....Mega Cab is bigger then my cab. I guess if I would say that I would like to see is just a BIGGER cab. I would say based on seeing all of the manufacturers, we have the smallest "full size cab" out of all of them. I mean why in the hell is the F150 cab bigger then the F250 or F350?????

The Navy aircraft require a bunch of corrosion control maintenance. Salt air....
Even the P-3's that fly over the ocean but don't live on the carriers require special care.
Aluminum is not a cure-all.

Frankly I don't see this so much as a means to control corrosion as much as I see the aluminum body and other components as a means to reduce weight and increase fuel economy..
Also on corrosion remediation on aluminum sheet metal - it is much more difficult to get under control than is steel. Anodizing will help, but scratches in the anodizing will start to corrode almost immediately.

Agree. If Toyota or Nissan had 1/2 ton diesels available now it would be a tougher choice.

Is that what that is? I was thinking how terrible it looks...
