There's nothing normal about the cab corner rot all the crew cabs seem to get.. It's a full blown production flaw and pretty much the hardest rust repair to do..
I've been quoted $1800 - $3400 to fix it, and every shop says they see this problem all the time...
It's sad to say this, but I'd actually feel lucky if 2 insured cars hit me in a double T bone accident right at the cab corners of my truck .......simultaneously.
These are the sad thoughts Ford has honestly left me with....

I ordered new cab corners from fixmyrust.com. Don't!!! I'll leave it at that. Got a pair from lmc shipped for 110$. I'm going to have my dad weld them in. I'll let you guys know how it goes. We can stop it somehow I'm sure !!

Nothing like living in the rust belt and driving anything! Mine started visually showing the rust 4 months after driving it off the lot! I keep it fairly clean as I can in the winter, keep all the cab rocker holes underneath sealed up. Then every spring I run water through the doors, rockers, front fenders, and the box sides over the wheel wells. The tail light area really is a poor design flaw for holding the crap! I'm sure the first panel rot through isn't far away! You just can't win, all you can do is slow it down....
