Its a bit common, but what you have is surface rust...for now. I will say, I'm in PA, had the truck for 2 winters already, and my frame looks like the day I had it delivered. If you get out in front of it, maintaining is pretty easy.

I really appreciate the feed back

Some photos of my exterior with the current tint it came with.

That's gotta be dark as heck at night...no?

Lol yeah, I find myself lowering my windows at night when maneuvering around objects or parking in tight spots haha

Yeah, looks cool during the day but sounds like you should remove it.

Love the color - on my short list for when I replace my 2020. On the surface rust, as others have said, not unusual at all. I'd think maybe the prior owner lived fairly close to the beach or maybe worked out close to the beach, etc. That salt air will do that over some time. I'm on the Gulf side and if you are close to the water, you have to deal with it. Good luck with the truck !

I completely see what you mean

Does anyone know of a good undercoating shop in Miami? I can’t find anything on google.

Welcome to the FRF. Good looking truck! I highly recommend getting rid of the tint on windshield unless you only drive in daylight. As for the rust, I’m from FL as well and some of my family & friends have rust like that. Driving on the beach, or on roads that sand either blows up on or gets dropped there from vehicles that were on the beach, can actually get as salty or worse than northern states. My 2020 looks nowhere like near like yours, but every time I come back from beachside, I run my Raptor through a car wash with UNDERBODY WASH to get the salt off. I would not undercoat it since you will only encapsulate the rust. I’d get as much off as I can , and then spray with some anti rust treatment. I’ve never been a fan of undercoat after living in Wisconsin and New England for 55 years until moving south permanently. Undercoat is very dependent on how and when it’s applied, and what’s under it.

My truck had rust on the bottom the day i brought it home with 30 miles. Ridiculous Ford doesnt coat the underside better
