 Description of the problemI own a 2005 ford f-150 4x4 extended cab with just over 60,000 mi. For its age, the truck is in pretty nice shape except for the frame, it's gone, rusted! There is a section between the cab & engine bay that you can put your fingers through, not one but several fingers, let alone in other areas though out the frame that are also rotted through. It's a boxed frame with no inside coating made with what i read elsewhere was cheep steel, won't mention where from, but not us steel. Yes i live in ne, and it has tasted salt from the roads, but i also kept it clean all winter long. I paid a lot for this truck, bought it new and now feel that i have been cheated. I am now on my third new ford truck, a 2018, and i'm afraid to walk buy it with a salt shaker in my hand. My first was a 1984 f-250 that i drove for 21 years, put 100,000 miles on it, sold it in 05, and is still on the road to this day on it's third owner. I know where it lives. I'm reading on line that this is happening to a lot of these trucks, let alone i believe ford has already replaced frames in a mini van for this same reason. I also have a few pictures. There is a pic just showing the underside, which for the most part is in good shape, a little surface rust, no through rot. Now the frame pics, another story. These trucks also have an issue with the exhaust manifold as to where the bolts holding it in place rot out and now you have a noisy exhaust leak truck that has to have its motor taken out to have that repaired, got that going on also. Thank you for your time, from a not so happy ford owner ps: when i bought my new truck, nov of 2017, they evaluated my 05 for a trade in, which i wasn't going to do anyway, they only offered me $3000 on what i thought was a good truck, foiled again!
