Used to swear by my old steel F-150 for hauling, but after 3 seasons of rust eating the bed corners in Ohio, I swapped to an aluminum Silverado last fall. Anyone else find steel just rots out too fast for daily work use?
I was hauling a half-ton load of firewood down a washboard road near Flagstaff last fall and the bed of my aluminum truck flexed so bad the tailgate popped open twice. Swapped to a steel flatbed and haven't had a single issue since. Anyone else run into this with aluminum truck beds?
I walked past a new apartment complex going up on 7th Street and watched them framing the whole thing with steel studs instead of wood. Then I saw they were using aluminum ladders and scaffolding too, not steel. Does mixing them like that cause any long-term issues with rust or galvanic corrosion?
