This is the first Ford I've had in a long time, so this was a bit of a surprise to me. Oh well, I guess it's not a big deal.

The same rust here, it is a shame companys dont care any more! ford used to be proud of their blue engines, chevy their orange. Today, slap it together and out the door. My 2018 f450 went right from, order, [I would not by one off the lot because they were all rusted, block and frame and drive shaft, and, and, and, and!!!!!!!] to dealers lot, to the body shop, to get a proper paint job underneath, 750.00 later it looks good, like ford should have made it in the first place!!!!!!!! Would have cost them an extra measly 50.00 bucks! D... CHEAP A.. COMPANYS!!!!!!!!

As for the Superduty, the 6.7 is built in Mexico, the 6.2 right here in Michigan, and the 6.8 just across the river in Canada (Same for the 7.3).

The bottom line is some people just always find something to complain about. You're more than welcome to find a truck with a painted block and buy it instead. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume it doesn't affect the driveability at all. Lmao!

Very common and not unusual.
The same thing will happen to various items under your truck and this is no different than the brake rotors rusting after they have been exposed to water.
