6 months after owning our used 2018 and the excessive dirt is still showing up. The history was "clean" but it appeared the previous owner lived at the end of a long dirt/gravel road or in the middle of the desert. There was dust everywhere; in the rear seat-belts, rear air vents, cargo area carpet and panels/cupholders, etc.
I had them "detail" the inside at the time of purchase but I figured the exterior and underbody would wash out with rain and a carwash subscription after some time. The dust and dirt is still coming out of all the crevices and body panel seams. I am attaching a picture showing the dirt that continues to fall from above the rear glass at the 3rd brake light. You can also see pictures of the frame with dirt caked inside and rocks in the holes. I pulled the rear bumper trim panel off this weekend and dirt and pebbles were piled in the garage underneath. I stuck a hose inside the frame and dirty water flowed out.
Aside from removing every body panel to dump any dirt and rocks left rattling around, I do not know how this could be addressed. I also do not speculate this would cause future issues other than lugging around some extra weight and maybe the occasional rock rattling around.
I have not seen much of this type of build-up and dirt trapped on my F150, but the Expeditions certainly have the body cavities and open bumpers.
