I live on the east coast of Canada and have had all my vehicles get rust proofing from the dealership. Never had a single issue. My Mazda was the only one that didn't get treated {bought in Alberta} and it started showing rust with in 2 years of getting out here. The salt in the air is far worse then the road salt and is year round.I have a rust module but am not convinced they do much. The dealership suggested it for the massive warranty. I might get a spray rust proofing done - I likely won’t let them drill into a sealed body section because it is, wait for it, sealed, so rust cannot start there. Haven’t decided what to bother with.
I am used to VW cars which have the best rust warranty in the business so I never bothered.
I can say I would be pissed if a five year old car had surface rust. That is a sign of crap paint in my opinion. My Nissan had rust after one year (piece of crap) and my Honda after four (also a lump). Seven year old VW? Not a mark on it. Never rustproofed it. Toyotas and Subarus also rotted. Except for the Nissan and the Honda, they were reliable mechanically, but the bodies didn’t hold up (VWs excepted). This is my first Ford and judging by the number of rotten ones I have seen, doubling up on a spray is a good idea I think.
The rust inhibiter modules are from the Shipping industry and make a huge difference with ships and rust. So id like to think that little blinking light under my hood is doing the same for my little Bronco.
