Default I just watched a video

I just watched a video from a guy warning everyone about the new aluminum F-150. He was concerned about all the tears in the aluminum from a truck that rolled over. Then he showed a Chevy that rolled with no tears.

Now, the passenger compartment was intact on the F-150, and crushed on the Chevy, but im supposed to worry about the scary sharp edges of the tears. Smh.

That video was a complaint about having to buy new tools/equipment to repair aluminum body vehicles. It was a pity party.....

Oh, and between the 2 vehicles he showcased, I would have MUCH rather been in the F150 than the caved in Chevy.

Most of it is just a bunch of hype from competitors or someone that likes the other brands better the other part is usually a lie or exaggeration. Anytime a manufacturer has something different someone is always going to try to find fault with it.

He would have saved all that metal if it wasn't tore? Body shops reskin stuff, or pop out easy dents.

What a f-ing idiot! I think all his viewers pretty much told him the same in the comments. So glad I got rid of my chevy.
