Chevy has a better bed Material

What are you saying man? Mine is military grade aluminum.

Yeah, sure it is. The Ford marketing department says so, and they prove it by having some military jets fly over a group of parked Fords ! If that ain't proof...

And now we have military grade flashlights, military grade sunglasses, military grade tactical pens...

AND IT'S ALL ********.

What's the GSA number for those flashlights, please? I asked that question of one of the companies that sells them. Know what I got in response? The sound of crickets chirping in the night. If there's no GSA number, then the military can't buy them and soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines can't be issued them.

As for Ford, what grade of military grade aluminum is used in Ford's body panels? Would that be the aluminum alloy used for armor in the M-113 personnel carrier and the M-2/3 Bradley Fighting Vehicles? Or is it the aluminum alloy used for the skin of military aircraft? Or is it the aluminum alloy used in the superstructures of modern naval vessels?

It's marketing hype, and the truth is that the product is military look-alike.

It just means Ford used a military spec for whatever series of aluminum they selected. The MIL standard covers material composition and heat treat and the properties the test specimens have to conform to. There is not one military grade or one type of aluminum the military uses, but a whole bunch of military standards for different series of materials that go in every from airplanes to tanks and boats.

Exactly my point.

So, what spec, exactly? I've not seen anything from Ford that's remotely specific.

Aluminum is metal too...

Yes, but in the same way the Cleveland Browns are a football team.

Jk, jk. They finally got reliable engine manufacturing AL fab processes so i guess i can't be too negative....it only took them 25 years worth of sketchy examples to finally figure it out.
