Don't these trucks have 10/100 rust through protection?
The rust has to be in the form of preferation though, I.E. holes.

The 97-03 F150 were notorious for the rockers rusting from the inside out because their were some "drainage" holes that didn't receive plugs or tape. So all the sand, snow, and salt would collect in the holes.

I thought NY was the salt capital. I've seen golf ball sized chunks on the road before. I hate NY. Can't own a nice vehicle here with out rust from the corrosive salt.

Wow! I have a 56 year old car and the rockers are the originals and rust free.
Shortly after I bought my Raptor, I noticed sheetmetal areas with unpainted bare metal that would corrode.
The problem is if Ford could care less about the areas you can see imagine the hidden areas. I say shame on Ford.
