Almost bought one but got scared off by the aluminum body. Great looking trucks with all sorts of nice options you can mix and match to get what you want.
What is wrong with Aluminum? It is a marine grade 5052, which is about as corrosion resistant as 316 stainless. My F250 is a 2017 and Aluminum. Biggest complaint is the magnetic stickers no longer hold...

As long as the engine is designed for a turbo, it should be fine. I love the idea of a small displacement diesel for the F150. Better fuel efficiency but higher horsepower.
