Ford F-150 Review: The First Aluminum Pickup Truck

2015-10-22 0

Oct. 19 -- Ford has just made a huge gamble with its F-150 pickup truck, the best selling vehicle in America for the past 32 years. In early 2015 the truck's steel frame was replaced with lightweight aluminum, making the car lighter, but risking a perceived loss of toughness next to Chevy's steel Silverado. Bloomberg's Kyle Stock takes the new truck out to see if Ford's changes to its biggest moneymaker will mark the beginning of the aluminum age, or the end of a 32 year dynasty.
