2004 Boxed Frames

Has anyone heard if the new "boxed frame" on the 2004 Fords have drains holes in the bottom to allow water, mud, etc. to drain out since there are holes in the sides of the frames where it can get in?

bigv8, I had the same thought. The old boxed frames from 30 years ago turned into rust buckets. I am sure that Ford has considered this.
