My 89 F250 has only a little more rust around the fenders. My bro-in-law's 04 F150 has no rust. My friend's 06 F150 has no rust. My 88 Bronco II has nowhere near the rust. Another bro-in-law's 04 Silverado has no rust. Another bro-in-law's[yes, I have lots of them] 05 Dodge 2500 has the rust. These are all people living in a 20 mile radius, and most of the trucks never see the inside of a garage, except my boss's Dodge, imagine that... Don't tell me a Ford, Chevy, or GMC rusts like the Dodge does. You've got Mopar infesting your brain, my friend.
Heck, I even like the Dodge trucks overall. But I won't have a tin can that can't stand up to an Indiana winter.

Mine gets washed twice a week regardless of need. It has a lot more to do with maintaining than it does vehicle brand. Steel is steel and steel rusts, you can't go to another brand and hope they found magical steel that is rust proof because it does not exist

You obviously have nothing to do here besides troll and revive an old thread that was already a year dead before you came along.
