I have a 2013 Ram I bought new. I know I live in Minnesota, but since new I've used the truck sparingly during the winter and always made it a point to take it to the car wash and hose the heck out of the underside whenever the weather was acceptable. It's indoors 80% of the time. Just turned over 80,000 miles.

About a week ago I took it to the car wash to do the clean up thing, since it was finally above freezing. I'd used the truck a total of 6 times this winter. I've discovered the left rear wheel well is rusting out. By spring it's going to be showing pretty well. I'm really upset about this.

Have you in the rust belt seen similar problems with these?


Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way
