None of my cars have bad rust, maybe a bit on the frame of the Explorer, but nothing like the rust I've seen on other vehicles. Then again I generally try to keep the cars clean of dirt etc, and any running vehicle gets a bath at least 3 times a year, more if needed, and certainly if it has been around salted roads.
