Just curious. How do people react when you speak to them like that in person? If you don't care it's a simple as not responding to the discussion.

I do find the negative responses to the subject ironic when you consider that the material from which the F150 is made happens to be one of Ford's key marketing points.

Let the threads on leveling kits, fender flares, big tires, DVD players, and which way the compass turns continue.

I don't have such stupid conversations with people in real life. No one I would ever interface with in real life would have some the most assinine things some people discuss here

Then why are you having one here? If it's such a "stupid conversation" why did you get involved?

Most people on this forum try to be helpful, or at least civil, so I suggest that if you can't contribute something positive to the conversation, I'm sure everyone here would be happiest if you didn't join in at all.

7075 is $$$$$. I would guess 5052 or custom blend. Remember they need a alloy that gets the job done and is affordable some are to soft and some form better than others. Advertising military grade is like advertising "cold ice". Is see no harm in it. I honestly don't know the specs of any metal used in my truck, why should the aluminum be any different?

Do you prefer a lower safety rating? Can you elaborate?
