Hey everyone,
Needing some serious help (a bit stressed). I found out some "Minor" rust was not as minor as expected (picture attached).
The bedsides are in excellent shape on the outside as expected and I believe the inner bedsides are fine with the exception of some surface rust.
The problem is the bed floor. It has serious rust. Some is surface but some spots are very impregnated with the rust.
So....
What are my options here? The truck is a 2011 in excellent shape everywhere else. This is not an old truck or a beat down truck.
Will Ford cover this under warranty?
Can the bed floor be replaced, and the surface rust be fixed, and then all covered and cured with Linex or similar?
If Ford will not cover this (ridiculous if so) what would this roughly cost out of pocket?
The thought of having to get a new bed seems overboard with the truck being so new and something id really rather not do unless I had to.
I know this topic has been discussed but I am trying to obtain some first hand knowledge based on the pic I am providing.
Thanks for any and all help. Its much appreciated.
