Chrome bumper rust/oxidation

Truck new in July and less than 1 month into Northern Canadian winter,front bumper on my 350 Lariat starting to rust starting in corners.Went to dealer they offered to clean it ,and told me to live with it,no warranty unless rusted through.A real WOW moment. A disappointing response to a person who takes great care of his vehicles...Starting to have regrets

That sounds like a defect in the chroming process to me. A defect that should be repaired on the manufacturers dime.

I'd contact Ford directly and see what they say.

I bought my Silverado new back in 1993 with chrome bumpers front and rear. Almost 25 years and 185,000 miles later I have no rust on the bumpers. I'd never accept that answer from the dealer.
