2021 Ford F-150 military grade, aluminum-alloy body

HIGH-STRENGTH, MILITARY-GRADE, ALUMINUM-ALLOY BODY

The Ford F-150 has the only high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body in its class. * A heat-treating process is used to harden the aluminum alloy. Working with aluminum alloy allows an increase in gauge (or thickness) where needed to achieve strength without increasing weight. The lighter aluminum alloy allows for a higher power-to-weight ratio – plus maximum payload** and tow ratings that are best in class.† Yet another benefit – resistance to dents.

*Class is Full-Size Pickups under 3,855 Kgs. GVWR.
**Max payload. On F-150 Regular Cab 8’ box 4x2 with available 5.0L V8 engine and Max Trailer Tow and Heavy-Duty Payload Pkgs. Class is Full0Size Pickups under 3,855 Kgs. GVWR. Max payload varies and is based on accessories and vehicle configuration. See label on door jamb for carrying capacity of a specific vehicle. Max towing on F-150 SuperCab 8’ box and SuperCrew 4x2 with available EcoBoost, Max Trailer Tow Pkg.
†Class is Full-Size Pickups under 3,855 Kgs. GVWR. Max towing varies based on cargo, vehicle configuration, accessories and number of passengers. Payload and towing are independent attributes and may not be achieved simultaneously.8' box, Max. Trailer Tow Package and Heavy-Duty Payload Package are available only through special order.

FULLY BOXED HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL FRAME

F-150 has toughness in its bones, built with a fully boxed frame made of high-strength steel and large cross sections. And while it’s undoubtedly strong and rigid, this frame is also relatively lightweight because many of the components are fabricated using a state-of-the-art roll-forming process.
