How to prevent rust on a Ford Ranger?

I recently purchased a Ford Ranger and I want to make sure it stays rust-free for as long as possible. What steps can I take to prevent rust from forming on my Ford Ranger?

Regularly wash your Ford Ranger to remove any dirt and debris that could cause rust.

Apply a rust inhibitor or wax coating on the undercarriage of your Ford Ranger.

Keep your Ford Ranger parked in a covered or garage space to protect it from the elements.
