I thought the crew cabs were more prone to rocker panel problems.
The dealer here was a grand a side, and I dont think it matters what cab it is the biggest problem is the dirt builds up holds moisture and then the problems start. Please be sure to post what they quote you just to see the price difference.

The Super Crews have bad cap corners vs. the Extended Cabs, the rockers are all the same though.

Well I imagine it's at a point where if it's caught early I can get it fixed and at least slow down the rust. Better than just ignoring it.

For sure, the longer you let it go the more metal needs to be pulled out.

I might have been looking at used trucks at a dealership and poked a paint bubble and it popped. Ooops.

I have a cluster of paint bubbles on the right side of the drivers side rear door latch on my extended cab. The bubbles are on the top of the rocker panel. No idea how they got there....

I did look at mine very quickly last night. Don't see anything, yet, but again, it was a very quick look. Plan on actually going under it this weekend to check it out more in depth. I did notice though, the outside of the rocker, was textured. That that was kinda odd. I like it, just odd. Can't really see it at all, but you can feel it.
