Hey guys and gals. Im looking into buying an f150 and getting it shipped to me. It has everything I want in an f150. The only thing is that its in Maine and Im worried about the rust I can see underneath the car. Im from reno nv so rust isnt something I see much. I just want to know if people judging by the pictures think theres a bit too much for a 2013.

 

 

It doesn't look like much to be concerned about. Have him take some under hood shots of the sensors and bolts on the engine. My brand new truck had a rusted driveshaft and rear end housing and I'm in Houston where almost nothing rusts.
the biggest issue I see is that it will continue to degrade even after it gets to the desert, regardless of how well you clean it.
unless its a killer deal keep looking.

 

Now you know why us northerners buy your rust free trucks. I agree with BlackHD

 

It appears to be mostly surface rust and alot of dirt. I think a good cleaning and maybe some paint would make it look new again and protect it from rusting more.

How many miles. The shock body's are rusting too. I happen to have a set of brand new rear Bistein 5100 for a 09-14 4X4 for sale.

19995 on a 2013 55k miles. Ill request pics of underhood. I appreciate the quick responces... Im currently using a shop truck to get around and really was hoping this was the one. As for rust restoral professionally how much am I looking at? Cost of new parts? is it possible? 1000 bucks? I still feel i would be getting a deal but havn't ever battled rust. Also if anyone knows anyone selling a nice 4x4 150 3.7 ecoboost with a good C.A.C on forums or anything im game.

 

The Eco is a 3.5L BTW.

5K miles on my F150 and I am in so cal, and I see some of the rust this one has. I would not be worried.
