Whatever the brand name, I'd not want a pu truck bed made of aluminum.


I always see cinder blocks dropped in 1/2 ton pickup beds with a bucket loader .

You will be relegated to driving old pickups then because lightweight materials will be required to meet the FEd Govt fuel economy mandates. Sidewalls of the box BTW are steel reinforced.



You don't like that a - Ford - can be so easily damaged. But doesn't have to be cinder blocks, different things get dropped by mistake. Don't be so sure about all future pickups having aluminum beds like that one if it's so easy to punch holes in them. Matters not to me, I like my truck just fine and have no desire for a new one.
