Default Is this cab rust?

Hello,

I found a 2013 FX4 Screw on cars.com that interested me. The dealer is an hours drive so they sent me additional photos at my request, particularity the cab corners. One of the pics showed what looked like rust through but I'm not sure. Please look at the attached photo and give me your opinion.

Thanks!
Correy

Way too hard to tell by that pic.

Yeah. Hard to tell. Doesn't really look like it. Why not ask the salesperson to clean it up and take another one of that area for you. I recently bought a truck long distance and asked for quite a few photos, finally also got a walk around video. Which was good, because I was zooming the photos in real close and seeing all kinds of stuff that wasn't there...like a crack in the windshield that turned out to be reflection of an overhead powerline.

Thanks. My concern was what appears to be holes in the metal.

Too much reflection. That may just be marks on the ground, reflected. You'd think they'd run it thru a wash before sales pics.
