Are you guys who have taken delivery seeing the same surface rust on rear axle and exhaust hangers as I have seen on other 2021s?
 
I was concerned about this when I took delivery but luckily did not have any in my Tremor
 
I'll check tomorrow
 
nothing on mine I can see. My axles are coated and look good, so far.
I assumed it was largely overblown. There were a couple YouTubers (TFL and Tim from Truck and SUV talk) who had early 21’s that had some pretty bad rust right away. Glad they sorted that out.

Nope, was one of first things I checked. It's properly coated now for all F150s now when I checked on them around Sept.

Yep. Pretty awesome.
 
Dang, sorry to see that. A little baffled by Ford, and now wondering if this a seasonal thing and how it's getting stored. It looks like there's a coating but parts are still rusting. Wonder if the member who works at the Ford plant can clue us in.
Sidebar, I like your videos. I can’t wait until my kid is big enough to wash the truck. 😂

Ohh yea, so much fun! Will definitely help if you have a tall one in your family 😁

Hope to keep the truck long enough to pass to future generations. My first truck ever and so fortunate to be able to even buy it. 🙏
