    Depending on the grade, the weight difference between stainless steel and carbon steel of the same thickness is not much of any at all.

        I doubt this has any stainless in the frame. Really it should be a comparison of stainless vs aluminum and plastic body panels

        I think the majority just use regular steel. Ford was a talking point when they started using aluminum for the F150 body panels. And then they started running into corrosion issues where the aluminum meets the steel fasteners and frame.
