Underframe is rotten and rusted out. Was hanging on by a two inch piece of metal. Vehicle is 1999 with only 94,200 original miles. Should not have rusted out. Ford will not accept any fault or repair.

Poor gas mileage; has averaged 15.4 miles per gallon, and Ford advertises 16 city to 20 highway. Other F150 owners report poor gas mileage. Is this false advertising because I would never have purchased truck getting 15.4 miles per gallon when I travel mostly highway miles. I have a loud rattle noise under truck and the catalytic converters and muffler have all been replaced! also, vibration via gas pedal from engine (?) noted between 45 and 55 mph.
