Rear end of truck is rotting away spare tire holder broke while driving spare was hanging down had to be removed luckily it stayed attached to the truck with the cable and didn't hit any vehicle's the bed is extremely rusted if I get in the back of the bed it cracks and feels like your going to fall through bed is becoming loose and leaning to one side. Its a 12 year old vehicle so I expect some problems but not this extensive I feel like its unsafe to drive without a new bed on
