Debunking Chevy Silverado vs Ford F150 Aluminum Test Commercials!

[@TMJ32]

Why do trucks still even come with unlined beds? Spray liners should be standard.

[@TytheBandit]

Exactly

[@sarahann530]

Probably because some people dont like them and prefer drop in's

[@footballfanatic7825]

Had to pay $470 for a spray in my 2016 f150 didn't come with it smh

[@scottwitkowski1298]

some people put bed rugs in

[@aehornak]

More $$ at the dealer ..

[@kylel4361]

The company I work for has 13 aluminum bed f150s at work and use them on construction sites and none have holes in the bed. We treat them like rentals also, very rough on them throwing tools in the bed and racing them off road. We just got a new Titan and it already broke down, twice.

[@shawnprickett4099]

If you pay attention carefully with the Chevy it does actually puncture but they don't show it in the final clip because they do 3 shots of dropping the tool box 3 different times.

[@wwjj64]

The only reason Chevy goes out of their way to make these types of videos is because they are getting their ass kicked by Ford. Always have and always will. These videos won't change that. Ford can make their next truck out of paper and it would still out sell Chevy.

[@xQuantom]

gm sold more trucks in the most recent year. So yeah

[@cartechtalk496]

+Craig Goforth "Gm" 😂 it took two companies to barely outsell one. Good logic bud

[@xQuantom]

Car TechTalk GM is one company. Chevy and gmc are made by the same company under different names and are basically identical except for the external styling but for the most part share the same design. So my logic is pretty solid unlike yours.

[@cartechtalk496]

It takes two branches of GM to outsell fords truck? If GM is so good, why can't they just outsell ford with the Chevy name ?

[@wwjj64]

+Craig Goforth but they are sold under diff names. Individually they do not out sell Ford.

[@RK-kj8di]

I guess you have never bought gravel in bulk. The tractor does drop the gravel into the bed of my truck.

[@Mechonomist]

+Rob Goetz how high would you have to drop gravel from to puncture an f150 bed?

[@RK-kj8di]

...the tractor driver is careful to lower the scoop as low as possible but also not touch the truck bed. The bed in my GMC 2500 HD is still looking good.

[@shawnprickett4099]

+Rob Goetz but that's gravel not a 5 pound brick even when stuff like this happens you would have to respray the steel bed because it would rust the aluminum would be perfectly fine in the long run.

[@ZachsAdventures290]

+Shawn Prickett FYI aluminum does rust. I work at Fedex and have seen rust on trailers less than 6 months old.

[@shawnprickett4099]

+Zachary Alba I should have been more specific the type of Aluminum Ford uses doesn't rust it is made out of the same Aluminum as airplanes and military vehicles.

[@TuddecBMW]

Chevy engineers must be throwing themselves off something seeing these ads.

[@louisiron930]

they should be considering half an engine 1.8litre Versus your chevy engine 5.0 litre ..the ford has more torque..lmao

[@DexDexD3x]

GM has always been an odd one. Sometimes they do really good, other times bad. Same with Ford. I like things from both sides, but this commercial is just silly fighting against Ford. When can we bring back innovative competition to see who makes what best and bring actual new things to the market. And no Ford, just because you have turbos and flex fuel doesn't mean it's state of the art either.

[@quinngibson8601]

Chevy has flex fuel too.

[@STEVEM730]

You say nobody would do that to a truck, obviously you haven't work around construction. I have seen hundred pound landscape rocks dumped in the back of trucks all the time. I would not do this to my brand-new truck, but after I've had it around five years it will become my work truck. From what I've seen that aluminum bed is a dealbreaker, not really sure if a spray in bed liner would stopped this from happening.

[@Airbigbawls]

They do it for weight and Mpg. Also most normal people don't drop cinder blocks into their bed from 5 feet in the air. If you need that extra strength get it. If not don't get it.

[@MikeSmith-xx2rj]

this is for those who do it...moron.

[@hahathatisfunnybro]

@CASPER 12345 litteraly

[@fluffiestmallard6484]

It would, it's a load of crap. Chevy wasn't honest with this video. A composite bed liner would be the best option, anyway.

[@shanerobinson7128]

Exactly. He even says that he is not a truck guy then why the hell are you talking about scenarios if you’re not a truck guy What a moron

[@tedh.6044]

Ford saved over 700 lbs going from steel to the military grade aluminum, which amounts to more power and gas savings. How about a real world test Chevy this is just a ridiculous commercial. My 2017 Raptor will have a Line X bed liner even if it was a steel bed.

[@spencerferguson6278]

lol you have fucking v6

[@cramirez318]

lol you don't have a raptor

[@dewrus2153]

+Spencer Ferguson- Are you talking about Ted H having a Raptor? If so, you are correct that he will have a v6...a v6 that puts out more hp than the current Raptor's 6.2 v-8 as well as the 2017 Chevy Silverado 6.2 v8.

[@spencerferguson6278]

Dewy Russ I am a aware of how much power, but I really don't like fords strategy with all the ecoboost engines but I am not hating on ford as a company because I own a 2016 F250 with the power stroke . I'm just not a fan of the ecoboost

[@dewrus2153]

Spencer Ferguson Gotcha. I do like the sound of a v8 (my 2004 F-150 is a 5.4 with Magnaflow exhuast) but I guess the current days of mandated CAFE standards are upon us. So Ford, as well as other manufacturers have to find ways of making adequate HP with less fuel and Ford's EB engines do that well. The next Ford GT and Raptor both use robust versions of the EB so we will see how they do in the real world. To meet the 2025 standards, it kills me to say that V-8s will be few and far between 10 years from now.

[@SledgeHammer43]

just wait till the 2016 F150 is 6 years old then show a 2016 F150 with a 2016 Chevy from the Greater Chicago, Detroit or Buffalo area.

[@bronzechicken4437]

Rust, GM has rust issues out their asses

[@flatoutlikemcrae2020]

+jldude84 chevy will rust but aluminum never will. But what they don't real you is that aluminum corrodes and is almost impossible to fix because you can't weld on aluminum at least not in your own backyard. and aluminum will always cracked before it bends and steel bends before it cracks.

[@johnd7423]

You can't compare your Ranger to the new F150. Of course your Ranger is going to rust as its made of a material that oxidizes under certain conditions. Your statement regarding vehicles rusting under the same conditions also requires that the vehicles be made of the same material. Your statment needs to be clarified. Aluminum does not technically "rust" it corrodes and, interestingly enough, the more it corrodes the more corrosion resistant it becomes. Any steel parts on the new F150s will be a weak spot but the move to aluminum is going to become the industry standard and Chevy will be eating their words when they do.

[@100texan2]

stanbrz aluminum corrodes

[@jaykay-zz1ql]

I've never seen a ford over 3 year's old WITHOUT rust or something falling of or fall from underneath it.. my family hails from N.H ,M.E, MA.. I HAVE FAMILY IN THE SOUTH WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. not to mention my job had to change dealers to chey due to high repair cost and some cases TOTAL LOSSES. cost are now cut in half and not a single total loss .

[@rovidbouski4022]

Its even more funny that the toolbox test shows a red box fall into a ford and thuds and flops on its side while the one dropped into the chevy bounces like its empty

[@qwerty.us412]

how bout a 1983 Chevy c10 vs a 2017 Chevy Silverado.

[@simple_networks]

They faked the punctures as well. If you look at 2:34, which is supposedly the aftermath of the blocks falling into the bed, you see that the supposed puncture they were showing in the shots before is no longer there.

[@daniellozoya8762]

Did anyone notice how lighter the chevy toolbox bounces compared to the ford one?

[@Vincent_Gambini]

Oh dear. If this isn't Chevy at its most desperate and most weakest I don't know what is. Pretty sad if you ask me IMHO. I actually wouldn't buy a Chevy truck after seeing this futile display of desperation.

[@eastonwheatley3047]

Right on!

[@MatthewFant]

I own the new f150. Solid. Awesome so far. I drove the new Silverado and the GMC Sierra for a comparison. For me, there was no contest. F150 all the way. I've also switched to Eco boost for this three year run. Before that, I've been a die hard v8 lover.

[@Vincent_Gambini]

+Matthew Fant In truth, both Ford and Chevy make good trucks, though I think the F150 is a better overall product than the Silverado. The problem with this ad is that, not only does it reek of desperation, but it fundamentally takes people for idiots. That's a huge turn off. Why would anyone, short of actually being a true idiot, ever buy anything from a company that thinks this way about its customers?

[@MatthewFant]

I agree with you for the most part. I just never liked the way the Silverado was laid out inside. I like the bumper step, other than that, for me it was a pass. That's not to say it wasn't a good truck. Just not for me. And yes, It's insulting to think that gm finds people that ignorant.

[@Vincent_Gambini]

Matthew Fant There's a reason why the Ford F150 has always been the single-best selling pick-up truck. That's really all that needs to be said about it.

[@JulietMYDearLove]

They put the lowest trim f150 with the highest trim Silverado. They know they f150 looks way more attractive in its highest package. I mean have you seen the f150 led tail lights alone.

[@SledgeHammer43]

first That looks a lot more like concrete or stone than cinder block. 2nd these are 1/2 tons most people dueing this kinda work are going to be using 3/4 Ton or heavier trucks. 3rd yes you are right they will have a bed liner of either sprayed in or dropped in. 4th they will be put in with a fork lift. unless you have a dump bed installed.

[@GunBChevyNUT83]

this kid has no clue what hes even talking about lol...

[@jaytea4093]

I'm not even a fan of Ford vehicles in general, but the advantage of an aluminum bed is that aluminum doesn't rust and is also less dense.

[@MatthewFant]

Wait, are they going to redo this test when gm releases their aluminum bed truck? Somehow I doubt it.

[@garrettgramlich3436]

watch how the tool boxes fall the ford one flops hard and stays and the chevy one rolls it's lighter there's something in the ford one haha

[@bbarbs3098]

This is exactly what I was thinking

[@edwardmtl]

Honda replies to this video with the same test with their ridgeline. It did absolutely no damage with their plastic bed lol

[@spyderxtra777]

You debunked nothing, yes, obviously they abused the shit out of both trucks in this video. It wasn't meant to be a realistic test. The "Real people" even had the "oh god i can't believe you just did that" look on their faces. No sane person would purposely do that to their own truck that they paid good money for. But the point was that the steel box withstood the abuse, the aluminum box did not. case closed. It's classic marketing, but you know what? After seeing this I think I would rather have a steel box on my truck. Because I use my truck as a truck and sometimes accidents and other stupidity happens when working with a truck! (dropping cement from 5ft high and throwing toolboxes like footballs not withstanding).

[@chevydiesel350015]

Sure its rust proof, but aluminum corrodes.

[@louisiron930]

what sand storm do you live in everything corrodes ..lmao but aluminum will outlast steel because it don't rust and aluminum is flexible dumbass..hahaha dumb people

[@juelzm149]

@spyder you're absolutely correct!!!

[@evanemond4821]

in the ford they held it higher and more blocks

[@DropKickJaw]

Clearly the majority of people here haven't been in construction long enough, or at all. This shyt happens alot in fact. Ford tough beer can.

[@shanerobinson7128]

You’ve obviously never owned a truck.

[@zzanatos2001]

I've owned all kinds of trucks for more than 30 years, and the heaviest items I've ever hauled were motorcycles, railroad ties, lawnmowers, and bags of concrete and potting soil. When I've needed landscaping stones, granite counter tops, a blacksmith anvil, or other heavy stuff - I've always had those things delivered.

[@Airbigbawls]

Didn't that shit cost a lot for delivery though?

[@zzanatos2001]

Delivery was included on most of that stuff - but I did have to pay extra for the granite counters to be installed. I also recently got all new black stainless LG appliances for my kitchen, and Best Buy delivered them for $150.

[@Airbigbawls]

Zachary Zarko Damn you're rolling in dough.

[@zzanatos2001]

I wish. I retired from the Air Force in 2006 as an E-7, and now I teach high school technology classes. But my wife's an accountant, so that helps.

[@MikeSmith-xx2rj]

lucky wife

[@gilvietor1918]

Honestly, I love the Ford truck, so let me say that first. We used to throw logs and wood and rock into the back of our trucks when I was a kid. And the bed was all dented up, and nasty after a few years. So I mean, ya, we did it, but with how expensive trucks are now? Hell no, I hire a dump truck to bring rock to my house now, thanks. The tool box test? Oh yes, that happens way more often than you think.

[@brianhubbard7606]

When I first seen this commercial I laughed, first as a truck owner I would not drop a load of blocks in my truck and if somebody did a big can of whoop ass would happen. second no idiot would shove his or her tool box of the side of the bed of the truck into the bed of their truck. Truck people are very particular about their trucks.

[@jimh.412]

+Brian Hubbard-And who would balance a tool box on the side of their truck and not put it on the tail gate? If you're that stupid too do that then I hope you puncture your truck bed. Plus that Chevy guy in those commercials is so annoying.

[@eatshitful]

it is called "employees" employees don't give a shit about there bosses truck so things like that happen all the time. Sure you can fire them great then you can't find a replacement any better or maybe cant find one at all since you are lucky to find any help these days that can even show up on time PLUS since you fired them you still get to pay them unemployment thus costing you more then it would just to buy a steel truck and let the dents slide.....

[@trucks6936]

Mabey they could use this thing called bed liner, I think its bed around for a few years now.

[@cookinfordummies]

If you think a retarded employee couldn't be replaced, I got some swamp land to sell you.

[@halimspahi168]

I agree with dayton on this one. employees are Reckless and by the time you see what happened the damage has been done...

[@mecheng1993]

I've got a chevy and I'm looking forward to the aluminum beds up here in the rust belt..

[@wolfwitdabeanz3211]

Actually, the reason why the military(present) uses aluminum isn't just because of it's lightweight and durable build but also because steel is more porspurous than aluminum. Meaning, aluminum is less likely to rust as opposed to steel.

[@mecheng1993]

I wasn't being sarcastic lol.

[@faahQu]

@Thomas, aluminum is not only is less likely to rust, but aluminum doesn't rust, it corrodes. Technicalities aside, it will be interesting to see how these aluminum body trucks hold up over time. I work as a structural aircraft mechanic for a living and we regularly deal with corroded aluminum. Aircraft grade aluminum mind you. Which is one of those fancy phrases that the industry likes to use.

[@wolfwitdabeanz3211]

faahQu And with that being said the likely hood of the aluminum in these trucks corroding we won't see for the next 15-20 years. Especially considering that it's coated, painted and coated again. Even with it being cracked and sliced in these commercials is just silly. There is a reason why the military, aircraft and other have moved to aluminum. Yes, it's lighter. Everybody and their dog knows this. But, in this particular use it's better than steel. If, for example, something did impact the bed at a certain angle. I would much rather have something that is capable of flexing and bending to impact than to bend and snap because the steel that is used is strong but also due to it's nature brittle. It is incapable of bending comfortably without snapping. It's the same philosphy behind the use of kevlar as opposed to solid steel in vests. I'd much rather have the impact get caught and bend it than catch it and break it. Yes, aluminum in trucks sounds silly. Because it's never been done before. And frankly, the fact that Ford has gone above and beyond and made the first aluminum truck that is performing better than their previous and the competition just goes to show that it's not weak and it's not stupid. It's innovation. What everybody is also failing to see as well in these ads is that Chevy has been attacking the use of aluminum since they debuted it. But, now they are searching to do the exact same to even stay competitive. GM announced a $877,000,000 investment for its truck plant in Flint, MI to use aluminum it's next generation trucks. So if Chevy steel is so good.. then why are they following Ford using aluminum if they know it's bullshit? Frankly.. it's sad. It sounds like something a bone headed idiot would do. Someone comes up with an amazing idea and it works, they put forward all efforts to shoot down the idea. Then end up doing the exact same thing. It's pathetic to say the least.

[@faahQu]

I'm not bashing Ford's choice to move to aluminum. I'm a Ford F150 owner myself and love it. I think it's an innovative idea and most likely a necessary step into the future to progress with better fuel efficiency. There are things you state that just aren't true however. The type of steel used for truck beds and body panels isn't the brittle steel you speak of. It is designed to flex and bend if needed. I don't know which alloy composition of aluminum Ford is using in there trucks but for the most part, unless it's 100% pure aluminum which is very malleable, it actually will not handle flexing, bending, and denting as well as steel. They don't use tempered steel on these body panels, which is probably what you speak of. Steel, naturally is more malleable than the alloyed aluminum they are likely using. I work with sheet metal daily. I can tell you that depending on the alloy of aluminum, if you don't set the bend radius correctly when bending aluminum, it will crack. Also, sheet aluminum has a grain direction to it like wood. If you try to bend it along the grain, it'll most definitely crack. Sheet steel does not have those properties unless it's a highly alloyed stainless that's been heat treated.

[@BennettGames]

On ford truck 3:09 red paint 3:13 no red paint hmmm

[@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS]

Chevy made this video because the king of trucks are outselling them 2 to 1 ...lmfao...follow the leader Chevy

[@xQuantom]

That's not true? gm sold more trucks

[@xQuantom]

sheldon blankenship All I'm saying is Gm sold more full size trucks than Ford. It's just a fact whether you believe it or not.

[@bowtiebender6811]

You mean Ford the #1 selling truck for over 39 years. Can out run, out pull, and now 700lbs lighter. Now chevy is building one next year. Can't wait for the follow up.

[@uriahbleue1947]

Keep trying GM but this has Ford yawning.

[@neodecker]

I think it's a different Chevy bed. If you look at the impact marks at 4:55, They appear to be different then the ones at 7:15. It may just be the light, but the divot on the 4th rib from the left seems different to me.

[@gregthatcher8883]

Your exactly right. The very first tool box drop in the Chevy punctures the bed in that fourth rib area as you stated. There was another video where they pointed that out. These real people turned into actors real fast lol

[@MatthewFant]

Wow! Great work on this video. Yes, this is a really stupid concept from gm. If anyone loads pallet blocks in the back of a bare truck bed, or throws a steel tool box into the back of a truck on it's corner, they're probably too stupid to work with a truck. Blocks come on pallets. Regardless of the truck you get, heavy duty work like this or hauling broken concrete for instance, a spry in bed liner from line-x would eliminate this problem.

[@jacksonmcclelland69]

The point isn’t that they dropped it from 5 feet the point is showing the durability of the metal between Chevy and Ford.

[@riiigmota1477]

All you have to yell is AFM and the Chevy will fall apart 😂

[@christopheragraves]

How about the fact that they used two different tool boxes. Same weight? 0:47

[@ScottsJeepVideos]

Seems realistic enough to me. I don't drive a truck, but I do prefer steel so if I was actively looking to buy a truck like this I think about scenarios like a motocross bike falling over in the bed but I like both the trucks. This test wouldn't sway me Chevy's direction all that much but it does have an (albeit limited) amount of merit. I wouldn't be shopping trucks for the limited amount of fuel economy savings the Ford may get by using aluminum here but that too could swing me towards a Ford if it's was in fact the case they do better in that regard.

[@blargblarghonk]

I don't think anyone gets that out on a ranch or jobsite sometimes you might toss sort of heavy shit hap hazardly into the bed of a truck with or without liner. In which case I think the aluminum might not stand up as long.

[@TytheBandit]

We got manly men, intelligent women, and token black guys. We're AMERICAN!!!!

[@Mechonomist]

+TytheBandit doesn't get much more American than that

[@bornvillain6819]

General Motors corporate office is still located somewhere in the 1980's.

[@cincinnatislider]

I'm offended at how inoffensive this choice of people is. So triggered.

[@asdaven1]

Okay first off. A bed liner of some sort is a must. I would never buy a new truck and not have it Line-Xed or at least put a rubber mat or piece of plywood in. Second, I think I heard Chevy made the steel sheet metal thinner on their trucks to compete in weight with aluminum. Yeah steel is going to be slightly stronger than aluminum alloy, but not that much. Plus, steel once it scratches or dents, it rusts. Aluminum wont. That alone makes me prefer aluminum. I will beef up my slightly weaker aluminum bed with bed protection. I have Line-X and a rubber mat on top of that. If I'm going to be really rough on it, I may employ a piece of plywood also. I don't understand why they produce a truck with a bed of bare metal and paint? It needs a bed liner of some sort or your new truck after light use will look like shit in no time.

[@Harvdawg1981]

I love my Ford F150 and this commercial is bull crap. I guess they will do anything to get people to buy their junk. My one friend goes and tells me that Chevy will pay you to buy their truck instead of letting the quality of the truck speak for its self.

[@quadrunnerb4500]

Well, its not junk. They build good trucks, but yeah, why would you want to support a company like GM?

[@TrollingSince1991]

+jldude84 yes add protection to a truck, it makes sense, it supposed to be a tough already

[@AirborneRenegade]

“Who does that” Me: you’d be surprised. Not to mention, the goal was to break it.

[@Whatruacop97]

The sad part is this Chevy commercial actually made me want a Ford that's aluminum but with a truck mat or a spray in bed liner that's kinda sad

[@vonshango6311]

5:05 a steel toolbox dropped at angle can puncture an aluminum cargo bed, but not a steel bed. looks like more proof aluminum plane wings cant slice through a steel/cement wall. the faster it flies, the faster it crumples and disintegrates at the wall, leaving a dent or deformity.

[@kdrapertrucker]

as a truck person who has hauled block in his truck, yes, we did use a forklift to load a skid of blocks into my truck, you don't want to damage your truck or break the block you just bought. also if aluminum is too weak for body panels then why does the Silverado use an aluminum driveshaft?

[@onavianva]

Is be pissed if I was a chevy fan and know that chevy spend money for a bashing commercial instead of putting that money to good use. They tried putting ford down, but that shows everyone that chevy is already below ford.

[@johnhynesproductionslimite7522]

This is a really really good video explaining how you yourself are not a truck guy… well, informed video with clear and precise, explanations, and descriptions… well done

[@Aero-Dynamic]

[@brendannellis]

When the guy picks up the red toolbox at 2:53 doesn't it look like all the weight is on one side?

[@brendannellis]

Then the red box for the chevy was all empty

[@DoctorYoda2]

Yeah xD

[@kingdaniel3519]

I went back and watched and you're right. It did appear that the tool box he shoves in the Ford is heavier. Also, I noticed that the one he lightly pushed in the Chevy bounced all over the bed. A tool box with any weight in it wouldn't have bounced and rolled like that.

[@pauls3758]

what about the weight of the red tool box? how would I know that thing isn't 100lbs? and then empty in the chevy?

[@jonvenden4284]

The women you pointed out was only in certain shots but never the whole group. This whole thing was cut and spliced together not as one continuous shot. You keep doing retakes until you achieve what you want. My grandpa's 1991 Chevy c2500 we through a short chunk of railroad track in the back of the bed you should have seen the whole. This chunk of iron was used for cutting brinks and blocks on. No we never bought new blocks and did this to our pickups period. Even when we demolished buildings we didn't do this. Yes a lot of stuff gets thrown in the bed of a pickup but you don't try to do this. You got back to the sixties steel and they didn't bend much as soon as they thinned down the metal beds got bent more. Personal experience and watching other people transition into the 90's pickup. In the long term any negative like this will back fire. All the ads that GM did about Ford Super Duty about 5 years ago did them no good. Ford has stayed out of this stupid nonsense says more about them and their product then ads ever will. It takes more to ignore an attack then not have one.

[@Bonneville2482]

steel is always stronger then aluminum my buddy crashed a 2016 f150 it peeled apart like a banana you can litterly peel the aluminum like a pop can where as my other buddies steel 2016 silverado is tough as hell

[@sassiitalytours]

Which is why every 600mph airliner on the planet is made from aluminum, eh? Aluminum is plenty strong.

[@stevebueno5598]

I thought the Ford was safer than the Chevy. I might be wrong but i do believe the Ford has a better safety score.

[@FusionBoost2.0]

ooh fuck another idiot

[@louisiron930]

you understand that the body is aluminium and the frame is steel the impact on a ford and chevy would be the same and aluminium has a more tolerable crush zone and reduces impact ..right??

[@keinlieb3818]

ty loterbauer Ford is the only truck to receive top safety awards for crashes according to IIHS. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYeYiHqhh7-Ehbc

[@letsexplore9527]

lol Chevy said they are changing to aluminum what a bunch of hypocrites

[@JMVelozM]

I think Ford did answer this commercial by performing a test with a golfer, an MLB pitcher and someone else I think. However I don't think there wasn't even the need to do so. Ford hasn't decreased their sales and if there was really a problem with it complaints would have been all over the place and media. So please chevy, just try harder next time.

[@cesaraguilar85]

No, Ford did not answer , the video you are talking about was published in march 2015 and this one from chevy is from june 2016, I think this is just a bad strategy from chevy , they have a good product, they should just show the people what they can do, don't trash the competition , that's tacky.

[@mofoco1971]

they did rocks dumped into the bed too.real rocks .js tons not once but all day long.

[@EcoBoost27]

hey what's up bro as you can see I owned a Ford, I have a small complain with the that aluminum body, couple days ago I was working and I threw a piece of drywall and accidentally hit the back passenger side right on the corner and dented that part, now that sucks. and they call that military grade aluminum.

[@JsGarage]

watch at 3:29 and see that the video is flawed lol. The toolbox punctures the bed on the silverado too. But wait they show from other angles and the cut isn't there anymore. Additionally now that the beds are damaged leave them in the rain for a week and lets see. Then leave them in the weather for a year and so on. You will find rust on all the bare metal in the chevy. Commercial is so lame lol.

[@memesredacted]

The thing is, you can have the gash in the aluminum bed and it will still be fine. The smallest puncture or even just a scratch in the steel bed on the Chevy and it's toast because now it will rust. Which is stronger, rust or aluminum?

[@ThenotMrNiceGuy0109]

Aluminium rusts too you know

I had a Tacoma with the composit bed. I almost put the corner of a fridge through the bed, when I heard the crunch I stopped. It cracked it but didn't puncture it. Steel is fine (I've had/used many), I'd try aluminum without a 2nd thought. I'm a firm believer in rubber bed mats. I would put one in any truck bed no matter the material, or liner. On a new truck I'd go for spray in(factory or linex) with a bed mat on top.

[@bradleym2023]

Notice how the Chevrolet truck is an LTZ trim level, where the ford is just a XLT.

[@williamdavids2620]

they both get the same bed

[@JerryMajor5425]

Point is there trying to make for look bad...

[@JerryMajor5425]

ford*

[@williamdavids2620]

yeah that's called an ad

[@williamdavids2620]

if you were running a burger joint for example, you'd want yours to look better than your competitor's so you'd show your best looking burger and your competitor's burger that looks like doo

[@mattieice6671]

you drive a Prius and work I a cubicle?

[@ldario6160]

You know rust is the enemy of trucks. My F150 is going to last me decades. I'm so happy about it.

[@jtaylorls1]

Man this is to much, I was thinking the same thing. I can't stop laughing, good job.

[@svt_alan9762]

doesn't Chevy use an aluminum drive shaft for the silverado. I went on the Chevy forums and saw people's comment that said there chevy had a drive shaft made of aluminum

[@Sleepy731]

Anyone that works with a truck knows from time to time things happen. They are supposed to be trucks not toys.

[@kimjongun4576]

i like how u see the actors already looking at the bed before the tool box is dropped

[@cowdog4252]

How did you debunk their claim. You made light of it but failed at debunking.

[@Napster60]

Well he debunked Chevy's claim that its a problem. its not a problem unless you load things like an idiot. An idiot working for GM to find non-issues.. This is pretty pathetic.

[@hprojectone1771]

Shall we make this commercial again? Let's try and make it with a 2018 f150 to a 2018/19 Silverado.

[@j.dgrady471]

My friend had an aluminum ford, and a generator came loose as he was going around a curve and destroyed the side of his bed,i mean,knocked the bed side half off,i drive a Ram,no problem at all over 500k on my 15 1500 Hemi

[@wakeupamerica4610]

even dropped from 5ft the blocks did not have enough momentum to put a hole in the aluminum.

[@alaskan155]

still watching it but they changed the bed, the box left a hole at 3:30 ROFL, its a different bed at 3:33

[@scottwitkowski1298]

I work around fleet vehicles everyday and our fords constantly have problems. Where our Chevy and Ram rarely see the shop

[@scottwitkowski1298]

Actually I've seen people use a bobcat and drop landscaping rock right in the back.

[@shutdown6908]

Look at the difference in the angle in the chevy with the tool box

[@BUILTDIESELMAFIA]

Styrofoam blocks in the chevy and empty toolbox in the chevy as well. Fact.

[@travisandrews6857]

@built diesel mafia 1 I thought the same this with the tool box didn't drop like it was as heavy and not pushed as hard in the beloved gm but do you know these as facts and how ?

[@BUILTDIESELMAFIA]

Well ok maybe I exaggerate the fact part. However you can see from the bounce of both the blocks and the toolbox that they are not the same.

[@travisandrews6857]

Ya that's what I was thinking I don't know what they are trying to prove their truck is good at something nobody does with them lol. I wouldn't have wanted them to double the thickness and add weight for nothing most half tons barley work.

[@colslaw69]

I work for Ford, don't own one, but we haven't had any complaints about the bed. All trucks are going aluminum. The tool box test "the same tool box" t there are 2 different boxes one was empty and the other was not guess who got the full one.

[@ericksanchez2746]

Your Dubunking doesn't Fly By Me.Happy with Silverado

[@rustyintheboro]

You work in an office. People you've talked to work on a worksite. Did you ask a Testing Engineer or ANY engineer? I'm am engineer and I make designs using extruded aluminum all the time. Would I want it on the $50k truck in my driveway?

[@vwbora26]

I watch this until you said you work at Ford, lol

[@tomthorn2887]

Guys work in landscaping and construction do have things dropped in the back from a lift. They do it all the time in landscaping. We had gravel, smaller blocks and a type of gravel with rather large pieces. People who work landscaping and construction know that is a reasonable test. The point is that they seriously cut strength in the body. Look at those fords that were wrecked. The bed of the truck comes all the way OFF of the truck. The aluminum body rips open all over the truck.

[@oscar_fml1749]

“I work at ford” ahhh that explains it

[@stevegeorge5702]

I work in Mexico . That explains it. Chevy built !

[@troypower4733]

Good review, truly a miss for GM's marketing dept.

[@clubhousecoordinator6841]

How is this a miss for GM's marketing dept.? They did equal tests on both beds. The Ford failed. The Chevy did not. I know guys who don't use bed liners. They don't baby their trucks and don't care if the bed gets scratched or dented. But, they would care if it got holes punched in by an 8 pound tool box being dropped into it.

[@troypower4733]

A miss in the sense that they are going to aluminum as well, so, looking at it negatively will come back to bite them where it counts. Aluminum is a very smart move. Who drops bocks from a loader from that height? Skid loading is normal that is not. Perhapd the tool box was dropped repeatedly till it caught the right dent that caused a puncture..yup...its a miss.

[@xavier3961]

Those test are designed to go after the uninformed. Also, who would get a truck that you will use to WORK and not get a spray-in or box liner. A spray-in should be standard feature on all trucks and optional to not have it in. Just ordered my 17 250 Platinum PowerStroke

[@otisspunkmeyer2010]

hey bro your magnetic phone mount wont work on that aluminum truck

[@OldGlory1776]

You said it best, "I'm not a truck person" Guys that use trucks hard will throw things heavy into the bed of the trucks on a consistent basis.... Last thing I want is a puncture from a sharp object tipping over in my truck bed. Trucks are supposed to be tough so you don't have to make excuses for them......like you have to for your truck of choice ;)

[@mercsan117]

Easily the funniest commentary on a video all week

[@bigreeezy]

All you have to do is use is the hard plastic and dropping stuff on it won’t even cause a dent

[@garet1859]

This is the best most accurate video describing chevy and how they are always in second and trying desperately to be first.

[@chuckplainview4085]

I've seen so many of these fords on job sites with holes through the tailgates and beds. I've test driven multiple and always ask to have the drop in liners lifeted out and wouldn't ya know 3 of 4 had punctures.

[@randyway77]

what is the weird little 5mph parade at the end of the video?

[@MrJcjet]

If anyone seriously intended to use either truck as a work truck Ford and GM would sell them with the same type of beds Toyota uses for the rest of the world. Aluminum flatbeds with fold down sides that are specifically engineered to fit standardized size containers (fruit baskets). These are both cars with beds. They were never intended to haul more than a mountain bike once in a while. But if a mountain bike will puncture the bed if you drop it in wrong - well that might be an issue.

[@sfcjerryharris1]

Thank you for clearing this up

[@travis4798]

I like how non of this is done live or in one shot. Nice fake right there. The toolbox amazingly held up well. No crinkled corners from dropping it into 2 beds repeatedly? Hmm...

[@GreyCobra]

I still haven't seen any customer complaints about trucks in the real world getting holes poked through the bed. They could make the beds out of plastic, if no one manages to break them or poke holes in them, then it doesn't matter.

[@shanerobinson7128]

Actually it’s quite common

[@BISMARCK875]

i just bought a 2016 ford f150 fast as hell...and it came with a bed liner..and is awesome!!..

[@rawb5292]

Haha,sucker

[@kdrapertrucker]

You know when I pay $1.38/piece for decorative Cement block I like them to load them with a bobcat bucket and drop them from as high as they can. Because we all love broken blocks. Actually every time I've done this the blocks were on pallets and loaded from the rear with the pallet raised just high enough to not touch the bed. I certainly don't want anyone from GM loading my truck.

[@fbi6540]

My dad has an f350 with a utility body but he never does these kind of things. Almost every truck has a liner anyway
