Well...I bought a 2013 F 150 5 liter (302 cu in) with the aluminum panels.  The only thing I've noticed so far is the panels on the drivers door "shimmey" when I close the door.

Mileage is between 18 and 22 highway (depends on hills, winds ect.), and drops to 10 to 12 with the pod on the back.

I'm curious how future owners will review the new F-150 with the aluminum body panels. 

I heard them say on television that pound for pound the aluminum was stronger than steel. It sounds like a great idea time will tell.  David]]> Sun, 19 Jan 2014 01:50:35 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4332&PID=41952#41952 New to us tow vehicle : We took a little road trip today... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4332&PID=41951#41951 Author: Craneman

I'm thinking when it's time to upgrade my TV, I'm gonna have to take a look at The Chevy 2015 Colorado

Looks like competition for Toyota Tacoma?

If I ever got a Class C I would have to consider the Beetle Dune as toad!!

I read they did some testing with aluminum bodies mixed into fleet buys along with steel ones.  Sounds like users didn't know the difference.  I would think they would have seen performance/mileage differences but apparently the trucks worked/held up the same.

I want to know if it really gets 30mpg like the initial release said.

Wife and I  picked up a 2011 ford F150 with a 3.5 v/6 Eco boost. What a difference from the 4.3 v/6 on the 06 Chevy . Got to test pull with the ford.
