WOW! That's huge!

Do you need a full sized iPad in your dash to help call AAA and Ram service? Seems like an iPad mini would work as well for that.

No but the nice thing is that you can do both at the same time since the bigger screen allows for split screen. Efficiency!

Will the screen at least rattle as much as the rest of the vehicle?

On the whole "Aluminum = Less corrosion"... Yeah, nope.
Almost all of out newer fire trucks are aluminum bodied. The ones that are getting to the 5-6 year old mark have corrosion issues where there aren't any holes, but the paint is coming up in sheets with white powdery aluminum oxide under it.

Nah. Dodge has a good history of fine quality paint.

That screen is huge!
Different grades of aluminum out there will hold up to natural elements differently.....I'm sure it'll be ****

more correctly it should rear like the warranties do..."less corrosion perforation" - that aluminum takes longer to rot to the point of perforation than steel.
corrosion warranty on new cars is junk. here is your 2017 ford corrosion 'not covered'. other makes i have rear seem similar.

Damage Caused by Use and/or the Environment
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover surface rust,
deterioration and damage of paint, trim, upholstery, and other
appearance items that result from use and/or exposure to the elements.
You, as the owner, are responsible for these items. Some examples are:
•dings, dents
•cuts, burns, punctures or tears
•road salt
•tree sap, bird and bee droppings
•windstorm, lightening, hail
•earthquake
•freezing, water or flood
•stone chips, scratches (some examples are on paint and glass)
•windshield stress cracks. However, limited coverage on windshield
stress cracks will be provided for the first 12 months or 12,000 miles
(which ever occurs first), even though caused by use and/or exposure
to the elements

Meh, depends.
All the stuff I make at work is aluminum based, and we never have rust/corrosion issues.
All depends on how the metal is coated.

I'm sure you're using aerospace grades, 2024/7050/7075 maybe even some 6061.
The new cars and trucks are probably 3003/5052 or some other commercial alloy.

Must be a scary future for body shop guys with all the aluminum. It cost us a ton of money to get all the tools and training to do aluminum repair. I cant imagine a private body shop being able to swing such a thing as easy. And part availability is a nightmare as well. Only certain people can order them (Im one of them) so sometimes you cant even use your normal supply guy. I think the days of bringing your car to anything but a in house dealer body shop are going to end. For anything new atleast lol

You don't think the aftermarket won't reproduce everything in steel?

Bolt on parts yeah, they already do it for our cars. But anything that is "bolt on" you dont need to be certified for. For instance if the door on your car is Aluminum, any one can walk in and buy one. But if your looking for something like a frame rail or the inner section of the 1/4, anything structural(the stuff you have to be certified to buy/work on), i don't think so. Or at least i haven't seen anything yet.

go with the stainless bodies, ours are holding up great, ones almost 30 years old with zero paint issues
our explorer police cars hoods all had to be repainted under warranty for the paint peeling off the aluminum.

Trying to convince the department heads that it's worth the added expense is similar to trying to ice-skate uphill.
