Aluminum 2015 Ford F-150 Loses Weight All Over

JACKSON, Mich. – By now when you hear 2015 Ford F-150 you likely immediately think: aluminum body. The new Ford Motor Company pickup truck has made all sorts of headlines after dropping 700 pounds; a dramatic weight loss that has been attributed to the truck's use of aluminum rather than steel. While a huge portion of the F-150's weight loss is thanks to the aluminum body, there are also a few other areas throughout the truck that Ford was able to save a few pounds.

Through the use of aluminum body panels, the 2015 Ford F-150 lost a whopping 450 lbs., which means the truck shed weight in many other areas as well to achieve a total slim down of 700 lbs. But where? Comprising the remaining 250 pounds, the 2015 Ford F-150 dropped weight in the front bumper structure, steering knuckles, magnesium four wheel drive exterior transfer case, mechanical parking break, and in the rear differential, as well as through the use of high-strength steel which allows the truck to use less of the material without compromising quality. But Ford didn't stop there. Weight was shed from the interior as well in the front seat system, rear seat, and dashboard underpinnings.

Of course the greatest thing about the aluminum 2015 Ford F-150's weight loss is that while the truck is the toughest, most capable F-150 ever built, it also boasts impressive fuel economy!
