I bought a new XG and had it for 2 years and seen it one day with rust at about 4 years old.
Anecdotally I guess the XA/B/C Falcons were more rust prone than the others. But like anything else, a lot of it comes down to how it is treated and looked after (and in the case of utes, probably not very well). E.g. my XG ute has very little rust in it but I don't think it has been used and abused as a tradie or farmer's vehicle.
