I can practically spit into Canada from here. It gets cold. They spread lots of salt. Things rust out. It can be tough on batteries, but my '94 F150 still sports the OEM battery!
It's on its 2nd serpentine belt (can't remember why I changed it), 2nd air filter (could have left it but changed it out of guilt), OEM plug wires, 2nd set of plugs, 3rd set of tires, OEM brakes except for a couple rusted out hard lines, OEM exhaust, 2nd windshield (thanks for the shower of gravel outta the landscaping truck, retard from Ohio
), all OEM cooling system parts i.e. hoses, radiator, water pump; flushed and refilled it
once , one new tailgate cable, replaced one (or was it two?) headlight bulbs, P.S. 4 shock absorbers and IIRC a tie rod end... and on other vehicles too, I don't have to change stuff out <5 years.
How much of that pickup would have been replaced several times over by now (18 years!) by someone that loves to fix things that aren't broken?
One year old pics... not a complete POS yet...
