Actually, the aluminium body panels on the Ford are thicker than the comparable truck with steel panels. I'm currently in comparison mode in the purchase process. My 07 Dodge Ram 1500 is creeping up on 150,000 miles, the current list includes the Ram 1500, F 150, and Colorado/Canyon.
If aluminum is stronger than steel, why are the panels thicker? Just curious. Don't care one way or the other about either brand as I will never, ever be buying a new pickup truck due to the cost.
