MISTAKE.

Even 6061 aircraft grade aluminum dents too easily to be used in a work truck.

While reading about the truck it was mentioned that the aluminum alloy used is actually stronger than steel at resisting dents.

Undoubtedly the durability of the all aluminum truck was top of mind when developing it as that would make or break the truck. And when you've got the best selling vehicle 30 years running, you don't make changes like this lightly.
