Try living in NY State or Ontario Cda with a steel oil pan. Can take less than 10 years to rot it out.
Closing in on 50yr in Michigan (plenty of salt). Body panels rust away all the time. I've even seen frames that look dangerously corroded...haven't heard of anyone having the oil pan rust away on a truck.
I have heard of it in boats but in those cases the pan sits in a wet bilge constantly wet.
Not saying a truck oil pan has never rusted out but it's not common...particularly at 4-5yr old.
