I bought a 2021 F150 Platinum 3.5 in January 2021 before the price gouging. So I have had it 14 months now. Yes I had some surface rust on rear end. 14 months later I can bearly see the surface rust. Absolutely no problems from it. And after 20000 miles I have had zero issues with truck.

That’s a bandaid fix. It’ll look great for awhile but that surface rust will keep building under that rubberized undercoat. Rust converter would have been better there.

Usually Rustoleum has some zinc in it, but not always. Straight rubberized undercoating however just accelerates rust (traps moisture/reaction). I've had good luck spraying everything down with Cosmoline (CRC Naval Corrosion inhibitor); it's mostly stopped rust on a car that was already starting.

There are about 1000 videos on KZitem showing the long term results of rubberized undercoating of any pieces that had any rust. The results are the trapping of the salt under the undercoating and huge damage..... Wish it wasn't so...

As a New Englander and retired technician I can tell you this looks like the underside of most 2 year old vehicle. It’s just some minor surface rust and it means nothing. However, for those of you obsessed with cosmetics just spray the underside annually with some Fluid Film. I have no idea when pickup trucks started getting treated like Ferraris and rare classic cars, but it needs to stop. It’s a pickup truck- tow things, haul heavy loads of rocks and dirt, load pallets, use it as intended. Next people will stop cutting grass with their riding mower because they’re scared to scratch the deck and get it dirty.

Yea it’s not a big deal to me personally. I did a quick sand wiped off everything with acetone and then painted it with rustoleum undercoating paint and at 11,000 miles still looks fine . It will take more than a lifetime for the rear end to rust thru so it’s not a big issue . But i get it expensive truck should not have this issue but i will take this problem over what most other new trucks have going on
