Location: Lake Elmo, MN | I admit I was concerned about the aluminum issues when I bought my new 2014 Supercrew FX4 last New Year's Eve. I could have had either (2014 or 2015) at that time but chose good ol' steel. The difference in weight did not sell me because the truck pulled what I needed to pull (a Ranger 620) just perfectly. Admittedly I'd love some substantial improvement in gas mileage but I'll take the 2 mpg improvement the new truck seems to provide over my old 5.4 V8. I'll certainly take the terrific performance improvement....it's very noticeable !!! The aluminum may prove a great and compatible material for the truck bodies....I just did not want to be on the front end of that "experiment".
