FRAME HAS RUSTED TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BED HAS DROPPED AND IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. WHEN I WAS REPLACING THE FUEL TANK, WHICH HAD RUSTED THROUGH, I DISCOVERED THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME HAS HOLES AND CRACKS FROM RUST.I HAVE NOW BEEN HEARING THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY, BUT NO ANSWER OR RECALLS FROM FORD. WHY DO THESE TRUCKS RUST SO BADLY. IS THERE NO RECOURSE FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE A TRUCK THAT FALLS APART?
