something doesnt look right. Thats bubbling and rusting UNDERNEATH the paint. Get it checked out ASAP.

PS....some of you need to realize we get in our trucks with muddy boots or heaven for bid WORK/CAMP with our trucks. Mud happens.

Thanks for the info guys. If this is what is considered a filthy truck then I am screwed, because if I need to worry about rust with this little dirt then i guess the truck will be garbage in 3 years. What I cannot understand is that there is probably upwards of a couple tens of thousands of these trucks in edmonton alone and probably hundreds of thousands (if not millions) in the same type of climate who either salts their roads or puts calcium down and I am the only one with this issue. In my opinion this is ,without a doubt, a shitty job with prep of the steel before the paint and the paint itself.

keep us updated. I feel like rust there is REALLY not good. we're talking about a critical area of the cab. I would ask them to check ALL door jams if its UNDER the paint.

on a side note... my 2012 came with a step plate from the factory on that part of the door sill. Its just a rubber strip with adhesive on it, but still seems to protect it.
