| Took my truck for its nys inspection to my ford dealer-- tech stated he could not pass the truck because of excessive rust on a part of the frame. this vehicle has under 39k miles on it and is well- maintained. the rest of the truck is perfect and the rest of the frame has an expectable amount of rust for this climate. i have had four other ford trucks used and stored under same conditions and none has had a problem with frame rust. the offending part is a front cross member though which some bolts pass. the holes around the bolts are rotten. | |||

| My 2005 ford ranger truck is severely rusted on the underside. i had a 1992 ranger previous to this one, and never had this amount of rust on such a critical area. everything is attached to the frame and it appears to be prematurely failing, although nothing has fallen off as of yet. the rest of the truck looks immaculate, but underneath...looks 100 years old! this is a problem. *tr | |||

| Ford decided to not include rear inner wheel well splash shields in the pick-up beds for the 2005 model year, the rear wheels now 'inject' road liquids into the bed through openings in the bed seam under the cap rail. if a person has a shell or cover on the bed any contents live or not are exposed to whatever is splashed in seattle because of the rain, i grow mold if i use a shell. *jb | |||
