The trucks had this issue because of the foam in the beds. Also, as far as frame rust; I believe any car that's living in snow states with salt is going to be prone to this especially cars ten years old or more. They either have to be put away for winters or receive one of the better treatments to be protected. Been driving here in western NY for 40+ years and have never had this type of issue (Isolated extreme rot) usually its the whole damn car!

The underside does not even have any surface rust! The floors and trunk pan look almost new. Location, location, location. Facts are stubborn things.

It seems the roof around the lower edges rot out, apparently, the roof skin holds the salt from the air towards the lower edges. Any place where there is salt in the air, or on the ground promotes rust. The best vehicles, rust wise, that I've seen are the inland southwest where they seldom see snow, or the extreme inner north west where they see so much snow they don't bother spreading salt, and there is no salt in the air. .
