I am not sure factory rust protection is dependent on model. I owned a 2005 GX and 2006 ES. The sedan was almost rust free and the truck needed a lot of attention for rust protection. It could be because the truck had a lot of rust prone chassis and suspension parts and driven more in bad weather. Later models might have been better made in terms of rust proofing as well. I now think one can do a lot to prevent rust learning from the GX ES and a Tundra, so I start using rust prevention products on a new GX and LS. Time will tell how effective this is in 10, 15 years.

I’m the original owner of my 2004 RX330 and my car is rust free. Considering I live in northeast Ohio that is remarkable for an almost 20 year old car. My American made cars in the 60’s thru the early 90’s showed signs of rust within 3 or 4 years.
