The Alfa 4C and BMW i3 represent recent advances in bringing carbon monocoques to affordable production cars.
As for alu truck bodies, ask anyone who's got an alloy panelled car how easily they dent and how much more panel shops want to fix them. Doesn't seem like an ideal choice for a 'working' vehicle. Unless Ford do something in these regards, I see some very low resale values down the track, as well as bringing down the F150's image.
