I got Krown applied to my 2015 Ram 1500 and after 6 years of Western New York road salt, it still looked like new underneath. I did have a paint bubble on the right front quarter panel and Krown painted and replace the quarter panel under warranty. Applying Fluid Film, POR-15, Woolwax, etc. yourself won’t give you a warranty.

I wasn’t planning to rust proof my 2021 F150 but then I saw how thin the paint or total lack thereof of paint or coating on the entire undercarriage and decided to spend the whopping $150 USD per year on the Krown rust proofing. With as much as these trucks cost, the $150 is chump change and well worth it in my opinion.
right on.

that’s what I chose to do on mine. For those who wonder if it’s worth it, my good friend is a master ford tech at this dealership and he has this take : “I don’t know why someone would spend this much money on a vehicle and not undercoat i, especially in our climate”

it’s not all about the perforation, it’s also about protecting all other components from corrosion.

im keeping my ‘22 PB “forever” (aka till it dies)

If you don't mind me asking how much did they charge? My wife is from Ft Wayne and I may have to check them out next time I am up there.

I did the undercoat last May and it was $249 @ 14/69 Carwash Supercenter (Line-X of Fort Wayne). They did my PPF film, ceramic window tint (including twin panel), tonneau, and Line-X Premium liner.
