    Really interested how long these trucks will last in the north east. I suspect salt is going to ruin them in short order.

      Which isn’t any different from existing trucks, really. You can treat a truck like shit in the south or even PNW and it’ll last decades longer than a well-cared-for truck in the northeast or midwest.

        Definitely, the salted areas are always tougher for cars, while living in PA I expected only 6-8 years from a car before it started falling apart. But it’s usually under carriage rust and not visible until it’s got so bad it’s through the panels. The exposed metal seems likely these will start showing corrosion in just a few seasons, guess we’ll see
