How easy does it rust?

Mine hasn't rusted any and I haul kayaks with it after they have been in salt water. It is exposed to the salt air on the FL coast as well. I do wash it after use and it is stored in a shed. If the powder coating gets chipped it will start to rust. It is mild steel and thick, it would take a long long time before it became a structural issue. Touch it up when it gets chipped and it will be fine.

I got this hitch extender about a year ago and it shows no sign of rust so far.

The paint is a sprayed powder coat, but if you scratch it , it will rust. I touch up any dings on mine with black semi-gloss rustolium. Had my rack for 2 years (in FL) and still looks great.

Well? Guess it depends upon where you live and how it is cared for! Mine is in the garage for storage and shows no sign of rust here in Pa. It is not painted but powder coated which in itself is very good.

I have only had it for a few months and so far so good...no problems with it rusting.

It is the kind that will not rust if you take care of it. That is why I bought it.

I have only had it for a short time, but so far no. It's stainless steel so it shouldn't rust.

I've had mine for about 5 or 6 months and it still looks fantastic. No rust at all.

Ours has not rusted...yet. Only had it for a few months, and is a lot easier to use than others she has tried.

No rust so far. We Take it in shower every other day. Dry all off well when done.

I just got mine in August, and I'm directly on the beach. So far it's holding up, with no signs of rust.

It doesn't rust, but the color/shine did fade a bit. I have had mine for over a year

No, it will not rust. We have been using ours for several months and it is just as bright and shiny as the day we bought it. The stainless steel is of top quality.

I've had mine for about 4 months now and use it regularly, and haven't seen any rust yet!

it is not stainless steel so it will rust. I haven't noticed much rust, but I don't leave it wet or outside so that it would rust. With normal common sense care, rust is not a problem. If you are asking about rust to determine if it is made of soft iron, it is not. It is definitely steel, but not high nickel or chrome steel Thus, it takes an edge nicely

seems very durable to me. I even moved and was able to take it down and put it up again with ease. No rust at all (for at least the 2 years I've had it) and I live in Miami so if it would rust anywhere it'd be more likely here!

I've had mine for nearly 2 years now and no rust. I didn't rustoleum it either.

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

I've had mine now for a couple of months and love it. I would be surprised if it does rust, though I haven't had a lot of time to really answer definitively. It cleans wonderfully though and even the baked on drips slide right off. Thanks
