2007 Ford F-150: Aluminum body / steel frame rust
2007 Ford F-150 · 13th (2015–2020 aluminum body) · 3.5L Ti-VCT V6, 2.7L EcoBoost V6, 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 5.0L Ti-VCT V8, 3.3L Ti-VCT V6, 3.0L Power Stroke diesel
How you’d notice
- The cab and box are aluminum. The frame, spring mounts, and cab mounts are still steel. Flaking, holes, or crude welds at the rear spring hangers and cab mounts are walk-away. Salt-belt and coastal trucks need a hoist look at the frame, not the shiny body.
Typical shop cost
| Repair | CAD | USD |
|---|---|---|
| Independent shop, parts and labour, before tax | Often not worth repairing | Often not worth repairing |
As of 2026. Ballpark, not a quote for the vehicle in the ad. CAD figures are Vancouver Island independent-shop ranges. USD is only printed when we’ve entered a US shop range — we don’t invent one.
A lift, not a driveway glance. You pay the shop. First appointment of the morning so the engine is cold.
Walk away if
Holed, flexing, or crudely welded frame
The bigger picture on this listing
This page is the year and model. The report is the vehicle in the ad. We do not publish, for this listing:
- whether these photos hide this job
- whether the asking price already assumes it
- tax on this price
- a named shop in this city — we only print phones we’ve checked
That’s the $34.99 CAD document. Homework, not an inspection.
