It was in rain for 2 days. It shouldn't rust after only 2 days.

    Rain, maybe some left over road salt, sand, and constant vibration and abrasion... It's gonna rust. Maybe not a lot, but it will.

    Not after 2 days. High grade stainless steel, which these trucks are obviously not using, will take a lot longer than that even with abuse. That's the entire point of stainless steel.

    Do you know why stainless steel is not used in sea ships?

    Do you know that 316 grade stainless steel exists, and that sea water has nothing to do with a truck that was rained on for 2 days? Seriously, bringing up irrelevant shit does not make your argument better...

    316 is not resistant to warm sea water https://www.aalco.co.uk/datasheets/Stainless-Steel-14401-316-Bar-and-Section_37.ashx

    The rain itself is not a problem, but many roads around the world are sprinkled with salt during winter. Water + salt means your truck turns into a rust pile. The only one talking shit here is you, kiddo.

    It was raining, not snowing, so there was no salt. One person found it started rusting after washing with soap and water. There is no excuse for this. Bringing up irrelevant shit does not make your argument better, and neither does implying that I'm just young and don't know what I'm talking about. Try reading the article before spouting off.
