Anyone know if they are using the new aluminum panels for the 2015 Raptor? My friend is waiting to see if they are going to use it or not. Any insight would be apppreciated.

The '15 F150's frame is steel, not aluminum. The body panels are aluminum.
Furthermore, a new Raptor hasn't even been announced. It's highly probable, but likely not until later.

Fixed. Thank you for the correction. And that's my line of thinking as well. Thanks.

If and when a new Raptor comes out, I'd be quite surprised if it didn't have aluminum body panels. It would be too costly to make the shared parts (such as the cab) differently, and nonsensical to make the Raptor-specific panels (such as fender skins) out of steel.
P.S. My spell check is set to Canadian English and it's quite unhappy that I'm not spelling "aluminium".
