Why are all the pre aluminum body trucks rotting out badly!!! Ford needs to get this matter sorted out with owners of these rusty Ford trucks.

I bought the truck in Leesburg Virginia. The used car dealer didn't tell me about the frame being patched or rusted. I only have driven the truck 25,000 miles after i bought it, It had 99,000 I probably drove it about 400 miles in the winter on snowy roads. I drove my old 1989 Ford Ranger all the time in snowy roads or my G-6 Pontiac which has 336,000 miles on it currently and drove it today with the original motor and transmission one rust spot. This truck has been sheltered from bad weather for the most part from road salt. I can't say the same for the G6 or 1989 Ford Ranger. The truck would start so I called AAA to tow it to my garage I take it to and then they put the truck on the frame lift, and they heard a cracking sound from the frame buckling. They barely got the wheels off the floor. `
