They have started using a brine solution to pre-treat roads in this area when possible snow/ice is in the forecast and continue when it starts falling. Fortunately only 2-3 times a year. Used sand in the “old days”. Is rusting something we can look forward to in a few years?

Bill, rust is a very big issue in the "snow belt", you are lucky to only have brine a couple time a year. Here in Ohio trucks WAY LESS than twenty years already have cab corners, rockers, and fender wells sometimes GONE. And I'm not even in the snow country of like Mich., or Pa.
