The last I heard, Chevy was scrambling to go aluminium with their next gen truck. If they do, how do they back-track on this and past commercials?
I would venture to say that 90% of the pickups sold never carry more than a bag of groceries in their beds.
My factory spray on bed liner will protect my coke can truck bed!
The test results are not surprising. Steel is more malleable than aluminum. I might have bought a 2015 Chevy if they had not been so butt ugly.
I was thinking the same thing as I was watching the Video.....Quote:

Dumping anything in to the bed of your truck without a Rhino Liner (or any good spray in liner) is not a good idea... steel or aluminum...
Just watched the video. If that happens, your next move is to jump out of your Ford and bitch slap the loader.
PS - I have a heavy rubber mat in my F150 bed, but it's a '97, so it's good ol' Merican, er Canadian, steel!
LOL I've dented beds with Rhino Liners it doesn't give them superpowers. Or does it....... ::AssassinQuote:

If you believe the Video that would have pierced one of them new fangled Fords.... And it may have possibly burst into flames!!! ;-)
The Mythbusters guys says it makes them bomb proof... so it can handle some measly concrete blocks...Quote:
