    It's a 2015 and it looks like yours.

    I spray it periodically in winter, but the salt brine just ravages the all metal.

    Though it's a huge convenience, I think garaging it in the winter has a detrimental effect. Better for it to stay frozen until it can be rinsed.

    Thanks, buddy. I will go to the dealer next week. Well, what are you gonna do with weather. Yeah, I have heard the tip about not putting car/truck in garage in the winter. No way I am going to do it. :p But I do like living here, so there is a cost to pay. :)

    Yeah, you have to weigh your options. Good luck going forward.
