It's getting harder and harder to find a truck that isn't made of aluminum these days, at least if you're looking at the Ford lineup. The perennial favorite Ford F-150 first made the switch to the lightweight military-grade alloy for the 2015 model year, acting as a guinea pig for the industry. Others waited on bated breath for whether the material would flop, or fly.

Aluminum has many advantages over steel. It is:

• Immune to rusting
• Highly recyclable
• Equally, or even more dent and ding resistant

Following the F-150's success, the 2017 Super Duty…

The 2017 Ford Fusion may be Ford's most advanced sedan ever, with 20 available semi-autonomous features including stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, a 325-horsepower V6 Sport model, and inspired new styling.

Hats off to our esteemed American automaker. Its all-new hot hatchback, the 2016 Ford Focus RS, is poised to have one heck of a debut year.

Wondering what went into the creation of this most singular speedster? Then, check the clip below as The Fast Lane Car critic, Emme Hall, explains:
