People have some weird misconceptions about these metals. They have their specialized uses that they work very well in.
The trick is found here: "Pound for pound, stronger than steel."
However;
A pound of aluminum is a whole lot more material than a pound of steel. The aluminum on that truck would have to be pretty thick to match the strength and dent resistance of steel. And, it they're doing it to reduce vehicle weight.......Guess what?
