Hi Keith,
Make sure that you see the last post of this thread for why your trailer brakes won't work unless the dealer completes the software update !!
https://gdrvowners.com/towing-and-hi...warnings/page3
Frustrating that I have towed some 3000 miles, wondering if or when I might have functioning trailer brakes. Checked everything over and over on the trailer side . . . because . . . the problem couldn't be my brand new Superduty truck .

Oh well, a little IronX clears it up, but this is why we got our truck in black. It still technically should be treated with IronX, but at least you don't notice all those little 'rust spots'

Edit: I don't think IronX is 'wax safe, so you'll want to wax the vehicle after using. I know one dealership here does not combine fallout treatment and waxing, so if you get them to do it, make sure they wax after too.Last edited by StephenO; 04-02-2022, 02:56 PM.2019 Imagine 2400BH

Its not a big deal so not trying to tarnish your new prize. It happens to all vehicles shipped via open rail where white shows the particles more so than other colors. The Iron X will take care of it so no worries.
Rail dust is the iron dust created from steel on steel contact (and or metallic brake dust on application) and under immense pressure on the rail.

If I was going to guess, and it's just a guess..I would think it's allocating loaded train cars going in a specific direction. Like they are either waiting for a train car to load, or waiting for one already allocated to be filled up with autos before sending off in your direction.2018 Dodge 3500 6.7 Cummins w Aisin and 9 cup holders

My truck is black and it looks fantastic when clean. But you can tell it's not clean the day after you wash it. It shows everything. We must have different dirt up here in Canada....lol
Thanks for the mention of IronX...I'lll look into it. Edit...It's certainly not cheap.

Hi Keith,
I wonder if Ford is waiting for some part to catch up to your truck? There are storage yards and even dealer lots with thousands of new vehicles waiting for sub-systems delayed because of the computer chip shortage.

Not sure if we have different dirt in Canada, but maybe we are more special in Alberta . I wouldn't be surprised though if we have different road treatments for ice that may look different on the paint. I know one municipality here changed the road treatment and vehicles were rusting out at an alarming rate, and I believe they had to revert. Thankfully it wasn't were I am based.1 Photo2019 Imagine 2400BH

What treatment was causing the rust?
In Ohio they are using more liquid options and pre-treat the roads where the mixture dries on the road before the snow falls. But those here that use road salt, the roads after a storm are white with salt. Over the top.
