Also GM/suppliers already said it was pushing it to late 2018 5 months ago... This is an old story being recycled to combat 2015 F-150 news. http://wot.motortrend.com/1402_we_hear_gm_wants_aluminum_pickups_by_2018.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if GM found itself locked out of aluminum body because of supply limitations, first in best dressed for Ford where GM can hope that adopting later will cost less.. In any regard, the weight advantage to Ford probably means GM gets pipped on economy numbers for considerable years into the future and possibly after it finally switches to a lighter truck.

By the time GM gets into the game, Ford will be making strides in other areas of Aluminum or light-weighting. Will the frame be next? Or maybe Ford finds a way to go even lighter with the body panels in the next 4-5 years and drops another couple hundred pounds. It's just going to be hard for anyone to catch up. It's like taking a 10 run lead in the first inning of a baseball game. Wonder what all the GM folks will have to say about turbo V6s in a truck when Chevy finally releases one, after all the poo-pooing of the EcoBoost.

jpd80 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 And what will Ford have improved/added in 4 years when GM finally catches up to what Ford has today? Greater use of hybrid electrification, possibly to greater effect in a heavier vehicle like F150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bright red. I guess it could look orange-ish under certain lighting conditions. You can see it on the 2015 F150 website. Use the Colors tab at the top to change it. It changes all of the pictures including the 360 view at the bottom. Edited July 30, 2014 by akirby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comment was tongue-in-cheek, of course. Amusingly, I called him out on Autoblog for having been banned from more than half the auto sites on the known Internet. Of course, he denied it... but we know better... we know better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I want his Disqus account yanked. What was amusing to me a few years ago has lost its humor. I don't know what this guy is but I'm tired of him. Tired of the cheerful way he cherishes and nurtures his mental illnesses, tired of him appropriating my name even though just about everyone on these websites knows its a sham.

papilgee4evaeva Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 And I'm pretty sure that impersonating someone else -- not in jest -- is a TOS violation everywhere under the heading of "misrepresentation." The worst part is that, since his diatribe is always the same, it's painfully obvious that it's him. Especially when he calls Ford models weak and uninspired, Ford management dumb, Ford engines high-strung boat anchors, and the F150 a fake truck. Even if the "real" trucks from GM aren't moving any needles to the right... against the old Ford truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGR Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I agree with Pioneer, less chrome is better. One of the odd things I've noticed about Chevy pickups is that regardless of whether your truck has a body color or chrome bumper in the front, the rear bumper is chrome. The only way to not have a chrome bumper in the back is to buy the cheap version with the black plastic bumpers... or better, buy an F150.
