Ford and Alcoa

Ford's F-Series™ pickup trucks are the most popular vehicles in the world. The F-Series has been America's best selling truck for 27 years and the country's best selling vehicle for 22 years in a row. So, when Ford began work on its all-new 2004 Ford F-150® pickup, it stood to reason they would be careful in whom they would choose to be part of the project.

Alcoa worked with Ford to help engineer and design a solution where Alcoa supplies the aluminum sheet used for the hoods of the new F-150 — the widest-width aluminum closure produced in the North American automobile market... a testament to Alcoa's ability to meet the supply challenges associated with America's highest-volume vehicle.

Alcoa also supplies heat shields for the 2004 Ford F-150 to help manage heat away from critical components. Alcoa's automotive products featured on Ford trucks include closures panels, wiring harnesses and electrical distribution systems, and aluminum wheels.
