Would Appreciate Any Feedback

I would appreciate any feedback regarding my current plan to help protect my new 2023 Tundra in MGM, that we’re expecting to take delivery of in early April.
Some background:
Location: Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Driven year round. Always parked outside.
Intended Use - 70% daily driver commuting 95% on freeways for approximately 1 hour an average of once per week. 30% towing a 25’ travel trailer to and from campgrounds on paved and gravel roads.
Additional Info - Single canoe or two kayaks on a removable roof rack atop the cab. Soft roll up tonneau cover. Larger and more effective mudflaps. Hitch mounted rock guard when towing.
Intended Length of Ownership - as long as absolutely possible. We had our 2005 Echo for 16 years and 423,000km.
Budget - None. I just hate to waste money on anything that isn’t a good value.
Expectations - To avoid unnecessary repairs due to chips and light scratches and that the truck not look too beat up when we finally choose to part with it.
Experience - 34 years of driving experience. This will be the 8th vehicle we’ve owned. 6 of them were used. We’ve only had PPF on our current 2017 Prius, and just the front end. We’ve never ceramic coated, waxed or treated any of our vehicles.

While I continue to research our options, I’m currently considering precut 3M PPF on the high impact areas on the front, plus the door cups, and to regularly apply a quality synthetic wax to the rest. In addition, Corrosion Free rust proofing applied by a professional.

 

Good plan. read up on ceramic & decide if you like the concept. More expensive than a good wax to keep paint healthy, but way easier/longer lasting.
You don't mention the frame, underbody. You'll definitely want to Wool Wax or similar the underbody at least annually. Keep all those nuts & bolts from seizing, protect the hard brake, p/s & fuel lines from rotting out. Frame of course, inside & out. Underside of the bed & inside the bed cross members...
There are a lot of beautiful trucks out there, then you lift them up & it's all absolute rubbish. The pretty bits up top are pretty long lasting - down below really needs your vigilance more than up top. I've yet to see a factory undercoat keep the underside of a truck rust free for a full year.

Congrat's & good luck with the new truck.

 

Thanks for the feedback @NUDRAT
I’ll edit my original post to include our current plan for rust proofing. We’re currently favouring Corrosion Free applied by a professional.
My current opinion is that ceramic coating wouldn’t be a great value for us. We rarely wash our vehicles, and are happy to use the automatic car wash at the dealership or gas station when we do.
I’m thinking a more frequent application of a decent car wax by myself would be better for our needs.

 

The good about waxing besides the exercise is that you will be "inspecting" the vehicle carefully at least 2x/year. Catch anything early.

 

I like your plan......just not a big fan of PPF. I know it would provide you protection from chips, so using it in high impact areas would be a plus. I've had to remove it (for customers) after it got kind of nasty, and it was a royal pain....hence me not being a fan. As far as the balance of the vehicle, coatings are the way to go. There is an initial investment, whether you do it yourself or have it done. It's not rocket science, as there are tons of consumer/prosumer grade coatings on the market that are easy to apply. As with anything, that you expect to last, proper prep is the key.

For the time being, I'd recommend a quality sealant, while you ultimately decide if a coating is for you. I've tried several, and the one that has risen to the top is Jescar Ultra Lock Plus, which is SIO2 infused. Ridiculously easy to use, and will give you great gloss, slickness, and about 6 months of protection. If you prefer a spray on product, you can not beat Griots Garage 3 in 1 Ceramic Wax, which will give you 6-9 months protection. It's easy to use, affordable and locally available. The only box that it does not check is slickness.

 

I’ve been using Wolfgang SI02 spray which seems to last around 2 months. Heard good things about the Griots but it was out of stock at Autogeek for a long time. I need to check out the Jescar. The spray on stuff is great for an old guy compared to a liquid that requires work to wipe off.

 

And please follow some basic break-in procedures before towing your 25’ travel trailer.
