The earlier Mavericks I think had better under body protection,( probably to Ford spec) than the Terranos, and both had better protection than the imports.

Late acrylic paints don't like constantly damp areas, so this could be a factor too.

Another advantage I have with my Mav, that has helped, is an integral garage which is warm and dry and wait for it...
I have a de-humidifier in there too. So it's not all down to waxoyl.
