2015 Ford F-150 Aluminum Bed Test
At one point in recent history, there was a decision made deep within Ford’s inner circle to employ aluminum for the body of the all-new 2015 F-150. While this decision was replete with the promise of a reimagined pickup experience, the objections of those like John Swanson were recognized as a bona fide challenge—even from day one.
A stone mason specializing in dry-stack walls, Swanson is no stranger to the toll that a ton of raw rock can take on a truck bed. The edges are sharp; the payload is both awkward and heavy—and that’s exactly why Swanson and Pete Wilson Stoneworks were selected to administer one of the most aggressive 2015 Ford F-150 aluminum bed tests that Allegheny Ford Isuzu has ever seen.
Of course, Ford has been pulling back the curtain on F-150 test measures since the 2105 model made its pre-production debut roughly one year ago. The blog at Allegheny Ford Isuzu has highlighted many of these, including tests for cold-weather performance, aerodynamics, and interior glare. But the 2015 Ford F-150 aluminum bed test carried out by Swanson’s crew is a proving ground that belongs to a category all its own. In his own words, the process chronicled above is “fully abusive” and included at least one confirmed “act of lunacy.”
Using excavators to load and unload 50 tons of stone, all signs point to the fact that Ford F-150 was up to the challenge. At the end of the day, F-150’s aluminum bed remained a level of structural integrity, the tailgate remained functionally operable, and Ford made a believer out of a skeptic like Swanson.
So along with stone masons and all who can appreciate the 2015 Ford F-150 aluminum bed test shown above, Allegheny offers a hat tip to the Blue Oval for being a front-line leader as far as pickup truck innovation is concerned. Look for the 2015 F-150 to arrive at dealerships like Allegheny Ford Isuzu later this year.
