Why does nobody talk about the hidden rust in the quarter panel of a 2012 Silverado?
I found a rusted inner structure behind the outer skin that took me three extra hours to cut out and weld in a new piece, which made a simple dent repair into a whole day job.

Man, you found that too? My buddy bought a 2012 a few years back that looked clean. He went to fix a little ding on the rear quarter and his jaw just dropped. The inside was totally brown and flaky, like a bad cookie. I mean, it was a way bigger job than he planned, just like you said. It seems like those trucks hide it really well until you start cutting.

Brown and flaky on the inside sounds awful.

@nancy_davis was right, I read somewhere that Ford had major rust problems with those years.
