I don't get the aluminum thing, the frame will still rot out on you and if you scale them the new F150's are about the same as the Chevy's, Ram's weigh a bit more.
I personally think Ram makes the least ugly truck out their.
Trucks are heavy because they are loaded up with [censored] to make them drive like luxury vehicles. Now everyone wants to be able to tow massive loads and they want to be able to accelerate up hills while doing it, hence you need 400hp. Fuel economy tanks.
If they built them like they did in the 90's except with modern technology, IE simple, low to the ground, light, 250hp, etc. Trucks would be cheap, get great fuel mileage and only contractors would buy them. So that's not going to happen.
In all fairness, I see old Chevys from the 60s and 70s around here with good frames. However, a boxed frame may be a different story. Edit and Fords too.
