Damage on brand new truck

Bare metal, northern Canada, road salt, yes I'm worried about it

 

krown and touch it up dude
All you can do.

Sucks though. But yes with out winters and what not definitely cover it up so it doesn't rust.

I thought they didn't use salt in Alberta though? Or is that only at Fort McMurry? I worked with a few guys that spent some time working at the oil sands and they said they only use sand, that its too cold for salt there.

 

They definitely use salt here, I think Edmonton doesn't, besides I spend a fair amount of time in Winnipeg. Hopefully get it touched up at work tomorrow.

 

What a loser.

 

Well that makes me feel better

 

ya'll got me Brollin

OP, I would just buy a small can of oil based paint, like rustoleum, from Walmart as it's pretty inexpensive, then a day or so later coat the underside with your salt protection, like fluid film.

 

They gave me proper paint and clear coat for it, just curious if anyone else had anything like this as it isn't damage that can be caused be driving, and a little pissed that it was sold like that

 

How do you kow it was sold like that when you have probably 30k km on your truck?

 

Found the damage with about 500 km on it. Took until now to get back to the dealer. Picture I took is dated for right after I bought the truck

 

Thats under the truck?

 

Pretty sure he knows how to bro bro bro his broat bro....

 

Pretty common having scuffs/marks on the underside. I found some on my 2015 when installing sliders just hit it with touch up paint and move on. They are definitely from either transport or factory assembly because of the odd locations.

 

I would recommend coating your frame with Fluid Film, especially if they use salt during winter.

 

That sucks. I didn't have any damage under mine, can't blame you for being a little pissed. At least you got some touch up paint out of it, I bought mine just for future damage.

 

... This is why i'm weary of technology lol

 

^^yup, technology cant fix careless!!

 

That takes a special kind of stupid.

 

Go buy some rubber undercoating and throw over it. Then go have a good beer and a steak and call it a good day.

 

Or learn how to use it and practice using it too.
