2015 ford f-150

the extensive use of aluminum in the body of the new F-150. The bed is aluminum-alloy, so is the cab. In fact, the only thing in the body that isn't aluminum-alloy is the firewall. Apparently the firewall still needs to be steel for sound reduction. Now, don't start thinking pop cans here, this stuff is aircraft grade aluminum. So obviously this has a huge impact on the overall weight of the truck, and the fuel economy.

my first post was wrong they are saying 700 lb difference they are pushing the "salt belt" angle saying it will help with the rust on these parts.... Duh
2.7 litre eco boost engine (New) made of compressed graphite iron block and they put the oil filter on top for easier maintenance wondering about putting it on a lift though?
and something about a boxlink system to make strapping loads easier

recycling these will be a long way off for sure. Resale and re use will be the big money when the frame rots out IMHO but wasn't sure how they are made I think it is stamped sheet?
