Rusty undercarriage-about to take delivery!

[WheresMyCar]

I’m about to take delivery and I noticed a good amount of rust on the undercarriage. Is this a legitimate amount on a vehicle or should I be pushing the dealership to resolve it? They stated steel rusts.

Just to note, it was quickly built and shipped. It never waited on ice mountain.

Mine was like that as well. However that one photo looks like a scratch. Do you have plans to undercoat it

Our '23 looked exactly the same on the day we took delivery, also quickly built and shipped.

First ford with a driveshaft? They all look like that. Other bits will develop surface rust as well.

Looks better than most I have seen.

When you get it home, clean it and shoot some paint on the bare areas if you wish.

Rust never sleeps.

This has been Ford’s M.O. for decades. I have never understood why.

How much would it cost to put a thin coat of paint on all the bare steel?

Yep, that's what they look like. Just wait until you've used it a bit.
