Motor Trend – 2016 Rolls-Royce Dawn Review – Video

 

Class-exclusive* military-grade, aluminum alloy body — this is the same 5,000/6,000-series high-strength grade of aluminum that’s used in industries such as aerospace, commercial transportation and energy. Our objective: reduce weight while increasing strength. What’s more, aluminum-alloy is resistant to dents and corrosion.

 

 

High-strength steel frame with eight crossmembers — the fully boxed frame has eight crossmembers (five through-welded) and is made of up to 78 percent high-strength steel (up from 23 percent in the 2014 F-150 frame). And while stronger and more rigid, this frame is lighter by up to 60 lbs.** because many of the components are fabricated by using state-of-the-art rolled forming and tailor-rolled blanks to help reduce weight.

Ford F-150 SuperCab is a 2016 IIHS Top Safety Pick when equipped with optional Forward Collision Warning.
