I purchased this 78,400 mile vehicle from an internet sale in sept/oct. 2019, within a few days of delivery, while taking it around for maintenance appraisals (brakes, etc. ), one of the shops warned me of major frame rust. A visual inspection shortly thereafter showed the main frame members were rusted through and partially collapsed from the weight of the truck while being lifted on a rack.
