Mine arrived with 10 miles on it with the exact same issue. It's because the truck was on a transport that was driven on a road that was heavily salted and all the spray from the truck/trailer sprayed all over the truck.

Still seeking support from Ford as the dealer said the amount of corrosion is normal. ON A TRUCK WITH 2000 MILES? REALLY? :disgust:
As I see some of you have had similar issues I am looking for advise as how to get it resolved. I need a boost here as my dream truck is rotting out from underneath me.
I had plans to take it to Pismo beach this summer but I can imagine Ford would blame the rot on off roading if they see sand anywhere.

Seems like Ford is really lacking in its warranty repairs and customer retention.

It didn't bother me, so I never asked. I dont blame you for pursuing it though.

When I first noticed it did not bother me either but then I put the truck on a lift to install the Flow Master and saw the extent of the condition.
these pics might help show the severity of what looks to be salt damage.
