Has Ford cured themselves of hood hem flange rust, and door bottom rust? This was a "feature" of nearly all Ford trucks into the mid-2000s. I had hood hem flange and door bottom rust in both a 1989 F-150 and a 2003 F-250.
Rust bubbling starts around 100k miles, depending on where the vehicle was used. Cleaning and maintenance doesn't play a big role, because it's nearly impossibly to clean these areas.
Not a Raptor issue in particular, but rather a higher mileage Ford truck thing to watch out for.
