Consumer Description

CAME TO A SLOW STOP ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE WHEN DRIVER'S SIDE FRAME RAIL BROKE FROM APPARENT RUST THROUGH. INSPECTION OF FRAME AND SUSPENSION SHOWS MUCH RUST DETERIORATION EVEN THOUGH THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND KEPT UNDER A CARPORT ON A PAVED DRIVEWAY. ALL MECHANICAL S, EXTERIOR BODY AND INTERIOR LITERALLY LOOK LIKE A NEW VEHICLE. FORD SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING, AS TOYOTA DID, AND REPLACE THIS TRUCK'S FRAME OR BUY OUT THIS VEHICLE. *TR
