Severe under body/frame rot. The undercarriage and frame of the vehicle is severely corroded. There are numerous rot holes in the bed floor to the extent that you can not walk on the bed. The rocker panels and cab corners have rotted away completely. Factory tow package wiring harness housing is rotted. Rear bumper rotted to the point where there was only 40% of the bumper remaining. Brake lines rotted along with entire brake assembly on rear tires, caliper and housing that holds caliper rotted. Entire portion of metal that holds the left tailgate hinge rotted away and is now gone. Tailgate can not be opened. Upon taking the vehicle for an inspection sticker I was told the vehicle was falling apart and I was warned that I should not be driving the vehicle. I was told the entire frame was rotted to the point that repair would not be a cost effective choice. Upon contacting dealership I was told there were no recalls and there was nothing they could do.
