    Depending on the grade, the weight difference between stainless steel and carbon steel of the same thickness is not much of any at all.

      Don’t most cars use aluminum as well as carbon steel in their frames, to save on weight?

        I doubt this has any stainless in the frame. Really it should be a comparison of stainless vs aluminum and plastic body panels

        I think the majority just use regular steel. Ford was a talking point when they started using aluminum for the F150 body panels. And then they started running into corrosion issues where the aluminum meets the steel fasteners and frame.
