Two words.......planned obsolescence (OR poor engineering!)!!

I know because I have a 2001 F250 that I bought new that currently has rotting crossmembers on the pickup bed, plus the cab corners and door bottoms (all 4) need repair. I won't even get into the mechanical issues I've had with this truck. It's ridiculous some of the stuff I've had to repair or replace on this truck and it's only got 66,400 miles on it!
