Consumer Reports List: Ford F-150 Is Best Pickup
2016-02-24
Blah blah blah
Among various categories, Ford Motor's F-150 was named best pickup truck with a score of 76/77. It's also the top selling vehicle of any type in the U.S. for more than 30 years running.

"Is aluminum body construction macho enough for a big truck? You bet. By eschewing traditional steel body panels, Ford created a pickup that weighs less, enabling it to be quick off the line and fuel-efficient," Consumer Reports said in the report.
Blah blah blah

#6  Seeing plenty around Guam, followed by F-350's, + 550's?

BETTER HOPE OR PRAY THAT THE "PEAK OIL-GAS" BOYZ ARE WRONG. otherise we're all going to look silly for buying expensive gas guzzlers while the World runs out of the oil or fuels required to operate same circa 2040-2070.

MORESO IFF THE US-WORLD NEED TO CAUSE DANGEROUS EARTHQUAKES + CRACKS IN THE EARTH'S CRUST, MANTLE VIA "FRACKING" + OTHER NT IN ORDER TO REACH HARD-TO-REACH NEW OIL RESERVOIRS.

[CAPSIZED PEARL HARBOR 1941 USN BB USS "OKLAHOMA" = FRACK-QUAKE RACKED US STATE OF OKLAHOMA here].

Personally I blame sexy slinky RIHANNA.

#5  Does the aluminum body burn when hit by, say, an Exocet? This was a problem with aluminum ships, IIRC.

#4  concerns about longevity of Aluminum on a steel frame in the salt-infected rust belt states.

dissimilar corrosion is bad on aeroplanes, also bad on cars/trucks.
