Ford F-150 Gets Highest Rating in New Insurance Crash Tests

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/f...tests-38323381

Interesting stuff as lots of GM fanboys were criticizing the new design and aluminum skin. According to the news feed I watched "GM had no comment"

Well that's good to hear, my dad just bought a 16 King Ranch. I actually like it a lot.

IIRC isn't GM switching to aluminum bodies in like 2018 or 2019 as well? If so I find it odd they hate on Ford for it, when I believe GM is going to be using it soon as well

Yes, the Silverado/GMC line are switching to aluminum in 2018/2019. That was pointed out in extremely short order after the whole "bear cage" commercials started.

I can't stand Chevy commercials. That commercial were they removed all the badging on the Malibu and these people were saying "It looks like a Lexus", "Looks like an Audi". Nope it's Malibu. So cringe worthy.

Those actors have to be paid to think it looks like a lexus. I'll give them audi just because it looks like a poor mans A7 a little but man so many cringe worthy moments. Also I like how he tells them after the fact that it starts at 22,000 but the model that are using starts at 36,000

Way too much hate in this thread.

By the way...I don't remember anyone seriously doubting that the F150 would get a decent crash rating. Why wouldn't it? It was the body repair that got people worked up.
