In my little truck, I installed $100 helper springs--which scarcely touch--which optimizes the ride. Load, say, a lawnmower, and the helper springs "kick-in".
Summers in NH won't affect this truck's salt damage; however, this truck is parked only 120-feet from
Gulf of America saltwater during much much of NH's off-season.
While it gets rinsed on occasion, I make a point to creep through puddles of saltwater and enthusiastically drive through puddles left by tropical rains. (OK, I'm lazy and cheap).
A neighbor's much newer Titan had the rear axle fall out at a gas station!
My truck's bed has a hole in it (above the muffler) and the front valance shows rust penetration weakness, but
it is a 30 year-old truck!
