That's because the 03 to 08 rams have foam in the bed panel that collects moisture and causes the rust

I notice both chevy and rams rust a lot sooner than fords. nissan (though I'm no fan) seems to be good in that regard, the old toyotas were terrible but they seem to have improved

well any steel rusts if you don't look after it but fords seem to be a bit more resistant in my experience.
