Aluminum/steel has been the mainstay for Land Rover since their introduction in the 40's...

Is that supposed to make us feel better?
Not sure actually- depends on your experience with Land Rovers I suspect... But as you may guess, add a little salt to an already galvanic environment, and look out!!

To me it is worth it. Besides once enough of these roll out and everyone else mimics Ford Prices will drop.

Larry is still mad at Ford for not hiring him.

It is interesting that I have 4 college alumni buddies that work for Ford ( two field service engineers, one marketing guy and one that does tech sales) and have GM vehicles as toys and something other than a Ford for their wife’s daily driver. I don't know single alumni or colleague at GM or Chrysler than own a Ford product. I must have picked my friends well :coffeedrink:

Anyone have the sudden urge to order one of these from the factory without paint? That would be sweet! Now ford just has to start offering a stainless steel frame option and I might end up taking on a car payment!

That is one good looking truck. I wouldn't be too worried about the aluminum though Land Rover has used it forever and it's only a matter of time before more truck makers follow the same route for the weight savings. The only downside as stated before is that when a panel gets damaged they usually have to replace the whole door skin etc, I had 2 replaced on my range rover for relatively minor damage.
