2024 Chevy HD ZR2
Looks like a good looking truck and Ford and Ram offroad HDs may have been put on notice, but GM needs to ditch the hot wax dipped frames for a e coated/painted frame. Link

I am on my 3rd GM truck with the wax coated frame.I have also had a number of vehicles that did not have a wax coated frame. I never gave it any thought. All of the frames did their job, and never gave me any trouble. Why should I care if wax is used or not used?
Are some just picking a nit? What am I missing?
The pictures I posted pretty much sums up why I prefer a E Coated frame.
It's a 2014 truck and the battery is on the passenger side. The picture is from the drivers side. Very unlikely battery acid and notice the sway bar ecoating still looks good.
I suppose paint peeling off body panels doesn't bother some people either (i.e. Toyota) although they still function as a vehicle.
