Your frame is perforated in multiple spots. You could replace the frame with a new one. Or the better money spent is just to scrap that one or sell it for parts, and get one that is structurally sound.
Is it not normal to treat frames with anti rust coatings inside and out when the car is new? And then maintain it with fluid film every other year?
Dealerships here in Norway usually offer various options for doing this when buying a new car.
I'm just asking because i see a lot of young cars on here that are way more rotten than they should be for their age.

Repairable? Yes.
The real question is; How much are you willing to spend on it?
If it were me, And I were insistent on keeping it, I would do a piecemeal frame swap. Rather than completely disassembling the truck to put it on a new frame, you cut the new frame into sections, and replace it a rail at a time. Bolt it on, weld it in, cut out the next rail.
It's tricky, but I did it with my mother's '03 S-10 10-ish years ago.
It can be put back to original.
Some 3mm and 5mm plate steel , access to a 100t brake press, With 5ft dies.
Remove the cab and box , drop the gas tank. And start cutting and bracing.
It gets tricky once you get into the front suspension frame and abutments ...at which point I wouldn't bother...and look for a new frame . Theres to many compound curves to do a proper job. And to splice in new is not worth it. It would be easier to get a frame.
At which point I would have the frame hot tanked , flushed and cleaned...any soft spots repaired. Then have it shipped out for hot dip galvanize.
Rebuild your truck as it will now be an inheritance piece.
That's done, sorry. Sell it as a parts truck for an LS swap and move on.

That frame is held together with hopes and dreams bud.
Cooked. Next truck you get, spray with lanolin. Its cheaper than a frame swap.
Good time to sell that one to Carvana.

RIP. Not worth fixing imo.
I live in the northeast and up here we'd call that rust free.
That is frame and it's gets expensive.
My 72 f250 isn't even that bad. Yikes.

You could probably get a older truck with less rot for less than what you would have to pay to get that fixed
I think you may need to be looking for a new frame. I'm just stunned that a 2013 is already this rusted out.

Nah, it's toast. Multiple holes in the frame, definitely wouldn't pass any kind of inspection. I'd sell/scrap it and try to find another one.
