Thoughts on Aluminum body components versus Steel...

[maynard]

Coming from a salt-on-road wintery area, I like the aluminum body components on my ford preventing rust and reducing weight - thoughts?

As long as they can do aluminum correctly it's ok. Lots of issues on Jeeps (and others) with corrosion on aluminum panels due to improper paint prep.

Has to be all or nothing, otherwise you just wind up with nice looking Defenders with no floor boards, frames, or grounds.

I'm in favor. Would likely have some - even if minimal - range benefit. I think they claim aluminum on a F-150 saves like 600 pounds.
