Saturn had the best body on a Motor Vehicle.

An Aluminum body? Even the Brits and Italians gave up on that idiotic idea and on a truck? It will look like crap in six months with that thin skin. Yep, I bet the insurance rates will be really nice. Like Jorge said, been tried before with little success. Maybe they will do something different. I don't think the rest of the truck world is quaking in their shoes over an aluminum truck with an Natural gas engine...

When I try to think of a plastic body on a truck all I can think of is all of the duallies I meet on the road with busted dually flares.
Especially up north where cold and plastic do not go well together.
Something clever here.

FORD = Fix and repair daily They may not be great trucks, but they beat the he!! out of anything Government Motors makes... if you want a work truck! If you want a city driver... I second that motion GM sucks and uses the public to test new idea's. Cheers NC

FORD = Found on the road dead
FORD = Fix and repair daily FORD= Found On Reservation Dump. FWIW The f150 has had an aluminum hood now for 10 years... I haven't read the article, but I'm guessing that if ford can build a truck That weighs 700 lbs less and runs well on LNG, they'll have a winner. And the metallurgy and engineering are out there to do it...

I do like ford trucks, but a natural gas engine might be difficult to find fuel for no?
Dave, NSP has been running their trucks back there for years on Natural Gas.. from some of the pics of your place back there, just wouldn't a large propane tank by the garage and hook ups to fill the truck be pretty easy? don't know if it is that simple, but it is not like that there is a shortage of homes in the Upper Midwest with a big white torpedo sitting somewhere on the property? at least rural MN.... Lord knows in the early 80s how many full size GM cars with Diesels were sold back there in rural areas and spent their entire lives running on 'Tractor Fuel" as I grew up calling Diesel.... Around here there are tons of stations that have propane available... mainly to fill camper tanks etc.... I am surprised a lot of the gear heads out this way don't run their classic hot rods on propane, like they did when I live down by the Cities...

My '98 Ranger was a POS. It needed the rear end rebuilt,a new transfer case,and multiple sets of shocks before 30K miles. No way I was keeping that thing past the 36K mile warranty.
For every great rig a manufacturer sends down the line,a POS can be right behind it. You can't expect any vehicle to survive when you use it for off-road racing and demolition derbies.

I was 'talking' to the question!! When at the top of your post it says, "re Bulletbutt", I get giddy and think that's for me. I love the attention and get carried away sometimes. Once I figure out people are talking to someone else and addressing it to me, I'm ok again.  Carry on.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

I'm mostly always talking to myself, but I will interact with others when they mistakenly think I'm talking to them.

Years ago a lady told me she talked to herself alot because that was the only way she could carry on an intelligent conversation. I never knew if she was talking about me or not, so I guessed she was, and dumped her for one of those happy, dumb ones with big...eyes...
