Edmunds says Ford considering aluminum for its SUVs

Ford rattled the pickup-truck world when it announced that its 2015 F-150 would be built mostly of aluminum. And now the automaker may be preparing to make waves in the SUV segment, as well.

According to Edmunds.com, Ford is considering converting the next-generation Expedition to aluminum body, as well as the strong-selling mid-size Explorer crossover.

If the Expedition gets an all-aluminum body, the Lincoln Navigator likely would, too, since both are built on the F-150 pickup platform.
