Yup...just 9 wintahs up here

And your 2014 Dodge Ram pick up will look like this..

Pretty sad

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.

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.

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.

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.
