America's biggest loser — truck edition — shed 700 pounds this year.
Ford will show its 2015 version of America's No. 1-selling vehicle, the F-150, sporting an entirely aluminum body, at the Chicago Auto Show. The show, at McCormick Place, is open to the public Saturday through Feb. 17.
Trucks and cars are typically made with steel.
Ford says the new truck will have better fuel economy — its most fuel-efficient truck gets 16 miles per gallon in the city, 23 on the highway — a topic at the top of automakers' minds as cars and light-duty trucks must average 54.5 mpg by 2025.
