That's why the salt is needed. I hate it, but understand its necessary. Most vehicles are starting to show serious rust in 5 to 7 years. I'm looking forward to buying an aluminum F150 some day. No more rust! My brother's $60,000 Chev Denali pickup rusted through the cab corners and over the rear wheels in 5 years from new. He had to have the frame reinforced too due to rust. The Chev steel is the most susceptible.
