Ford's solution?
'let's use aluminum instead!'.

That's a great idea. IF there's one thing Ford really excels at, it's managing galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals, as my exhaust studs can attest.
Up here in salt country, my '07 looks a lot better than an average 11 year old Chevy or GMC pickup. Those GM trucks look a lot better than the average 11 ear old Dodge/Ram pickups.

Although, the Dodge/Ram trucks are usually quicker, due to weight reduction via rust.

In my experience Ford is unique in that one particular acute part will disintegrate while the rest are seemingly unphased.
