Chris and JoAnne Jones, right, of Castle Pines, show their 2015 Ford Platinum F-150 truck, the first of the new aluminum-bodied Ford trucks sold in Colorado. Jones, who traded in a 2006 F-150 with 191,000 miles, has been a Ford owner since 1982, when he bought a used F-100. He has owned five F-150s, two Expeditions and a Bronco. Shown with him and his wife are their son and daughter-in-law, Greg and Julie, with their 2010 F-150 and mother-in-law Hazel with her 2012 model. Personnel at AutoNation Ford in Littleton helped Jones find the fully loaded truck, which is 700 pounds lighter than the previous steel-bodied version. “My favorite features on the new one are the 5.0-liter V-8 engine and the automatic four-wheel drive,” said Jones.
