Thanks I think. I found one but it had the Brunello interior. Some V6 EBs. Lots of short boxes.

i wasn’t trying to be a *****. But that’s the exact combo I wanted and settled on a short bed 5.0. The only long bed 5.0s I could find we’re from Canada, they seemed popular there, But go to auction in the states and are piles of rust under the hood. Wish I still had the pic of one I looked it. That truck was $26k with 50k on it. There are a few EB LB SC but I played in the ecoboost game and they are fun until the you get the timing chanson rattle. I like my 5.0 more. Actually sounds like a truck and I’m getting better mpg

2016 - 2017 with "piles of rust under the hood"??? Seems quite unlikely!

you’re from the south I’m assuming. Well I had to dig up an old text thread but I found a pic. Just because the body is aluminum doesn’t mean the whole truck is. Prime example, if that’s not rust to you then I’m blinder than a bat.
Hence why I said under the hood. Everybody was corroded and the engine block was worse, can’t find a pic of that right now

Actually Im from the north - way up north and the pic you posted is not from under the hood, its what is considered the undercarriage.
The rust shown is nothing and for the most part quite normal.

Trucks come off the lot brand new with about as much rust.
The axles and drivetrain especially. If you took a rear shot im sure the rear axle and differential are also rusted and quite normal!

If you're suggesting this is from a 2-3 year old truck I'd say it looks pretty good!

we all have different ideas of what looks good. That’s why there are different strokes for different folks. To each there own. The truck I posted was rusted to much for a 16. My truck is a 16 and looks nothing like that, And I’m from Chicago. I can’t find the underhood pic but I hope I do now to prove you wrong. Drive shaft rust and axle rust is different than bolts and nuts

You’re telling me this is nothing? I’m sorry I wouldn’t spend my hard earned money on this from Canada. I understand that have harsh winters. This truck had a block heater on it too. Those bolt heads would all snap trying to service this truck. Just saying
