picking up my 2015 f150 tomorrow.
is the rust protection spray worth the $600, or should i just spray it with oil like everyone else?
You can get it done cheaper somewhere else
This is true for 99% of dealership items
also new f150's look like ass and I really like ford
NOT ENOUGH GRILLS

Just spray it with oil.
The rust protection stuff (especially at $600) is probably a rubberized sort of undercoating, like a spray in bedliner. Those types of undercoating are notoriously terrible, mostly because eventually the rubber will get punctured by a rock or something and water will get trapped between the rubber and the metal, rusting the metal out even faster than if you hadn't gotten the undercoating at all.
Oil undercoating is good mostly because it can't do that - if a rock gets through the oil, the oil just oozes back into place after the rock is gone, or you just have one tiny spot where there's no oil.
Dealership sales employee here, usually the "coatings" or "protection sprays" are already on the vehicle. They are applied when the dealership receives the vehicle from the freight shipment.
What you pay for is the warranty to guarantee the efficacy.

Congrats. I'm looking at getting one too. There's no need for the rust spray since the body is aluminum mate.
You better get the Lariat or better

enjoy your aluminum body

it's a ford the rust is in the metal already so it doesnt really matter

Yes, pay for it. It's $600 on a 40,000 truck, the difference in payment on 5 year financing is like ten dollars a month. With that you get the right to bitch and get extra warranty work done when shit rusts out, plus when you go to sell it later you can tell the potential buyer that it has the factory rust protection.
Also, trucks, ferd, murricuh, fuck yeah.
