One winter in Minnesota will do that to any Dodge. Toyotas are even worse.
Do a search for Toyota Tacoma with frame rust and look at all the photos. Not kidding. Old news there...lol

Did it have wheel well liners? I see what looks like mud flaps but wonder if the plastic liners help. They are on my 2007 and no rust so far but it's only spent its winters in Ky and Va. Yes it has liners

Undercoat it with fluid film. Little late for that....

My 2013 Ram is getting rusty rocker panels, but the wheel wells are fine. I think it helps that when it is newer I washed it every week or two in the winter. Look like this ?

That foam ram puts in the wheel wells don't help any and draws rust.

I have a 14 ram here on the coast, everything is still good except the tailgate, rusting through from the inside.... I carry seafood in it and drive it through salt water every noreaster to check the boats, and this truck has never been washed except to drive it through rain puddles , lol
I have no idea why its as good as it is. Did you spray it with fluid film?

My 14 Ram is on its 9th winter now and it doesnt look like that. Wash it once in a while. My 33 Ram is on its 2md winter and I had NH oil put under it. NOT MY TRUCK.....I’ve been Doing Paint & Bodywork since 1975.... these are customers vehicles..that I am repairing. My truck gets sprayed with fluid film ...by ME.
