Take a look at the new Ram. Loved my 2019 and it was problem free...Holly molly. It almost makes you want to puke. And it appears GM only designed their undercoating to last one year. Unbelievable.
Yowza!
And now he annually get's under his Toyota and treats the frame.Ford had an issue with this as well.
A respected Ingo member traded out of his really good-looking ford when the dealer showed him the front frame was beyond repair and beyond dangerous. Seems it was a bit more common than most folks knew.
He bought a new Toyota.
We had a 2020 chevy 700 miles on it, dealer replaced the engine.Early 2000s Toyotas had the same problem to the point they had a class action suit filed against the company.
Chevy may have long term issues (my current whip turned 182,000 last week btw), but it's still not enough the cause me to consider a Ford. Nothing is enough to cause me to do that.
I bought my 13 Silverado in 2015 and a significant portion of the wax undercoating was flaking off. I scraped off the loose undercoating, applied rust inhibitor and some spray paint. Then I did the oil undercoating for a few years but haven't done that for awhile. I crawled under the truck a couple weeks ago and man there is a lot more under coating gone and a lot of surface rust. It's not enough rust for me to worry about since I'll likely only keep the truck another year or two anyway. But I have no idea how someone thought it was a good idea to go with a wax undercoating. I think on the newer trucks they when back to paint.
I bought my 2011 Tacoma new and has always been garaged . Frequent car washes with under spray .......I think that the drive through car washes that spray the undercarriage can help, if done once a week in the snowy regions. Keeping the truck garaged is a good thing too.
So you're saying that the Rustoleum paint actually hurt, rather than helped the situation?I bought my 2011 Tacoma new and has always been garaged . Frequent car washes with under spray .......
I also have every year got underneath and used about 3 cans of black rust oleum paint on all the frame areas I could reach .
I now know why rust showed up every year .
