One of the burning issues of the American automobile industry during the past year was the installation of aluminum in the body of the new 2015 Ford F-150. Both for its durability compared to steel and for other issues such as the cost of repair of lighter material.
For the first you had seen some professional athletes to strike without pity the aluminum trailers of the new Ford F-150 with various balls, and the answer to the second question comes in the following video.
While most auto publications enjoy an endurance test by experience of driving many hundreds / thousands of miles and inspect it in detail, those from Edmund’s take a step forward. Even with a sledgehammer in their hands.
The American website Edmunds.com bought a brand new blue 2015 Ford F-150, and one of the authors hit on the rear right wing with a sledgehammer. The purpose was to see the time and repair cost of this part, after their visit to the local delegation of the Blue Oval.
So the thing is quite simple: Skepticism because of using aluminum for the body of the F-150 has resulted in this simple and tough test: give it a sledgehammer and see how resistant the body is.
