[QUOTE="Specialtyperformanceparts, post: 1653612, member: 24406"] The ironic thing here is that most people think because Ford went to an aluminum body, they don’t need to worry about rust. I actually worked for a Ford dealer for 20 years and sold probably 1,000 Raptors. From the Gen 1 in 2010, all the way through the aluminum body. The frames and the rear axles rust like hell. In fact, the 19 I bought came with an axle covered in rust at delivery. Those parts are still just steel and they don’t do a good job at coating them. So the first thing I always do is take them To Ziebart and have them under coated. Think of a softer spray in bedliner. It always does the trick and keeps them from looking bad in 6-12 months. They all do. They generally don’t spray the axle though, so som black rust oleum paint works well in that as well. [/QUOTE]
