Cool I know its a truck buy why is this overlooked?

The rubber trim between the headlight and front bumper.. dont you dare look under it because what youll find is missing paint rubbed off or many scratches ... especially if trim is loose .. strange this hasnt been addressed ! just wanted to see if im the only one dealing with that issue .

Seeing that the bumper is steel and not aluminum guess i better get bumper off asap and get some paint back on it .

I see the same thing on my ‘23. Ford has not fixed or addressed this in several model years now…

I haven't looked there at all. TBH on my 22 I just hope the 10 speed holds on after the 5/60k powertrain warranty expires, the rest is nothing that can't be fixed with some elbow grease.

Be careful with that statement, my ac evap broke and leaked all over the floor, it requires the interior + carpet to be pulled out.

If it rubs off the paint, it will rub off the rust. Let it ride!
