WEMADE IT LIGHTER, ANDSTRONGER,
BY FORGINGANEWMETAL.
High-strength aluminum alloys. Never before used in a
pickup truck body and bed. Until now. Our innovation
creates a 2015 F-150 that weighs up to 317 kg less than
its predecessor. We collaborated with experts to forge
this newmetal. Then, through heat treating and by
increasing panel thickness, we made it even stronger.
Making it ideally suited for the rigors of truck use. How
so? It does not rust. It resists corrosion. It improves
dent-/ding-resistance. And it sits on an all-new, fully
boxed modular frame with more high-strength steel
than ever. Enhancing stiffness. And durability. When
you set out to build the best truck ever, it’s no surprise
what you end up with. A smarter way to work.
