Undercoating?

[ANVIL_01]

I had the dealership send it off before I took delivery. Was done at LineX. It comes with an 8 year warranty ( which probably means NOTHING) but I can tell you I had my last 1 ton truck and my fleet of F150s from my construction business are coated. We get long life out of them and enjoy premium resale. I have not had any issues with the way it was applied. Unlike the old days in the 70s-80s when they drilled holes to apply, they don't make any penetrations. Its cleaned and prepped then applied and set for x amount of time to cure before it goes back to the dealership for delivery.

I am not concerned about the Aluminum body of these trucks. The aluminum holds up much better than steel on our roads. I like the frame and other components looking good and after 5 years my old 1 ton still looked like it was never driven in the salt.

If I lived in another area that does not use so much heavy salt treatments and calcium chloride on the roads, I would not get it.

In the 70's and 80's when my fathers and uncles would change their motor oil, they would always spray the old motor oil all over the under carriage. They said it worked great, probably not best for the environment.

In fact we have a cabin in Maine and they painted the whole thing with used motor oil in 1981. Multiple coats over 10-14 days I remeber helping them do it. I also remember the cabin stinking horribly for 3-5 years. Then it went away and that cabin is still standing today, in great shape with a great patina.
