rusting

I have a 2004 ford range that is 5 months old and the frame, parts under the truck, back drums and parts under the hood all have rust on them and i was wondering if this is normal or is something i should be conserned with.

Steel will rust when exposed to water and air. Just something you'll have to live with since Ford doesn't bother to put any kind of rust resistant paint on the parts you mentioned.
