Speaking of rust belt and snow. I remember reading something a ways back ago stating the Rams were the longest lasting pickips in Canada. Something like 80% of the trucks sold between 1988 and 2012 were still registered. Apparently they now how to keep these trucks from being "ghetto cruisers" better than we do.
Rust buckets often keep chugging along, so percentage on the road doesn't mean they aren't rust buckets.
Average age of a vehicle when it goes to the big junkyard in the sky is around 21yrs, so give the date range you listed, 80% is about right (not every truck goes at exactly 21yrs).
That was for all Ram trucks, The numbers were actually higher, 87%, if the engine was a Cummins in the truck.
