2015 frame rust starting to develop

I've got two Tundras, 2002 and 2009, in addition to my 2007 Tacoma. No rust under any of them.

Seems like after all these years they could figure out a way to make the snow belt livable without spreading salt everywhere.

 

Gotten a full life out of those tires!

 

that's what I was about to say!

 

Mine '12 has rust too, a lot worse than yours. It really started to develop the first 2 years I was in Montana. Now that I'm in dry weather Nevada again I'll grind it down and coat it.

 

Looks like you scraped something. As others have suggested sand and paint with por15 or rust bullet or eastwood.

 

You guys do realize you are talking about unibody vehicles vs a body on frame, significant difference.

 

Yeah, that's his way...

 

Not a clue. I don't know shit about cars.

 

Well you bought the best, most reliable pickup .. so you know enough!

 

I think your son over-inflates his tires on that truck..... judging by the pics of course.

 

odd.. the rear tires seem to have less tread than the front.... but why?

An xterra is not unibody

 

He's 50, you try telling him--I've given up...

 

He's not good with tire rotation either...

 

Race truck! Check out the slicks!

 

Soak that frame in the oil of your choice.

2 days after I bought my 15 I put it up on the ramps and soaked the underbody with no drip oil spray..and I mean completely soaked. Prior to every winter I spray it down again and pressure wash it all off in the late spring. As it stands right now, after 55,000km of driving through salty ontario winters, it still looks new beneath the oil

 

Yup, preventative maintenance. My uncle was a cross country independent trucker, each Fall he sprayed the undercarriage of his (literally his) tractor with used engine oil--never had a rust problem regardless of where he drove...

 

You are 100% right xterras are not unibody I had a super charged 04 that was a pig on gas

 

What is the first thing i say ... I know it's minor

 

This scuff is on both sides it's dead center on the back doors. I think the truck was chained down there for transport to the dealership and the chains rubbed. I haven't hit anything the trucks never seen a gravel road
