cars do not seem to suffer from these problems (particularly the rust-through
), do they? They seem to routinely go 300,000+ miles. I wonder what the difference is.
On the reverse side, I have been shocked by the rock-solid reliability of a 2004 Dodge Durango Hemi I bought new. First Chrysler product of any kind for me and wasn't expecting much to be honest. It has never seen the inside of a garage and has been exposed to the worst snow, ice, and salt the rust-belt can throw at it for 10+ years and 198,500 miles (including a sh_t ton of towing miles). I cleared about a foot of snow off it this morning and took it for a drive just because it's been parked for 3-4 weeks. Some surface rust starting on the body in the last year or so is about it.
