    funny how they try to discredit Ford because they don't have anything to compete with them.
    then say they use aluminum also...to make the hood lighter

    then there were the plastic gm/saturn bodies that were a complete fail

    GM has already said they will go aluminum on their full sized trucks by 2020. Copy cats.

    I really hate stupid slam ads.

    You don't worry about MPG's with shark cages.:loco: :crazy:
