This truck is going to bury the GM twins.

Did someone say ford uses a aluminum frame like to see a frame made of that lol. That shit would bend like crazy lol

 

Yup, someone did lol.

It does not. High strength steel. You can use aluminum for a frame, they do it on trailers and some semi tractor companies have played with it, but I'm not sure how much you'd have to use.

 

But we are talking about a lot of money I don't think we will see it on truck frames for a long time hell there expensive enough now

 

Yes, it's likely not feasible for now.

 

Someone was wrong. The F-150 frame is steel. Only the body is aluminum.

 

Yea I know it was just funny

 

It vibrates like a mofo too. So they aren't doing it right yet you could say.

 

Nothing new. GM has been using aluminum hoods on various models for 20 years

 

I would hope so. It's not exactly hard to keep the hood on right?

 

real world vs epa estimates are 2 separate things.

I am curious to see what the 3rd gen tacomas get once people start getting come miles behind them.

 

Last 25 miles

 

I went down a hill and sicovered my mpg meter maxes at 199mpg

 

I'm happy with anything over the 10mpg I average now on 93 octane.

 

WTF?

 

not a tacoma

 

lifted hummer on 40s that you tow your other lifted hummer on 40s with?

 

Heads, cam, bolt ons, 3600 stall, 6.0l G8

 

I'm getting 10.23 mpg on my Ram 2500

 

Ford used them on all hoods.

 

My wife's RAV4 hoods flexes like crazy
