Rust spots

I just bought an '07 Regular Cab 150 4x4 w/ the 4.6 V8. LOVE IT!! My old 98 150 extended cab just gave too many people a reason to ask me for a ride home...now i can only take one pretty girl home! lol!
Anyways, I was talking to a buddy of mine who just leased an '07 crewcab. His truck is the same colour, motor, drive, etc. as mine. He noticed my new truck and came over to warn me about the chrome on the bumper pitting, decals fogging (the big plastic 150 badges), and the bottom of the body paint pitting. I haven't seen anything like this happen on my truck yet. He got his truck about three weeks before I got mine and there both new.
If this is a common thing or it's happened to others I'd like to know so I can bring it to my dealers attention.

I've had my 06 F150 for 15 months and haven't had any of those issues.

I think someone posted this a few months ago and Ford repainted his truck for him.

There would be no need to bring it to the dealer's attention unless the problem existed on your truck. Otherwise, there is no problem.

I wasn't going to bring my buddy's truck to the dealers attention....thats his problem...if it happened to my truck at least I could have evidence that not only is my truck that suffers this problem but it is a factory defect.

Some trucks were just made on Fridays after the 4pm Margarita break. They are few and far between though.
