The Super Duty®
has the only high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body in its
class.* Aluminum alloy is substantially lighter than the previous steel
body, yet it's remarkably strong. It's also more dent-and-ding resistant
and not subject to rust.
The fully boxed frame,
built of percent high-strength steel with up to 10 crossmembers, is 24
times stiffer than the previous design. The frame is designed to
minimize flexing and twisting while maximizing strength and torsional
rigidity, and serves as the foundation for the impressive towing and
hauling capability of the Super Duty®
.
