How do other vehicles fair? Are Ford Exploder frames lasting 20 years in the rust belt?

They get bad frame rust too. My friend's is covered in surface rust and I hear about the rear shackle mounts rusting through. The rockers in front of the rear wheel wells also collect a sh!tload of salt which leads to a giant gaping hole on the rocker. They all get that. I still see plenty around since they sold so well and because parts are everywhere.
I'd like to see proof from Toyota of this before I start believing some word of mouth claim. The managers at dealers rarely know anything. Most of them can't even remember what a 3rd Gen looks like.
