    Do these 2016s have the same frame/ frame coating as the older ones with all the rust?

    Curious as well. There is a truck place in town that does rust proofing (guaranteed 10 years) for $500

    Definitely get something done if you live in a salt state. I have the zebart 10 year guarantee with free annual touch ups. Cost about $500. It looks like everything is coated. I still need to get in there and do my u-joints, so I'm hoping the coating doesn't give me a problem getting into the zerks.
