Seeing another 2020 plus year HD on the road surprises me at times.

Because I live in the concrete jungle I rarely see the newer HD's when I'm out and about.  But when I do they kind of startle me due to their size.  I've had mine now for almost 9 months and have driven it almost 9k miles.  I jump in it, drive to work, get back in it, drive home.  It feels normal to me now, yes it felt like a bus in the beginning but now that I'm so used to it, it doesn't feel any different than any other truck I've owned in the past.  But when I see them coming at me, I'm like holy crap, that truck is friggen huge!!!  LOL....

I see them literally everywhere out here. GM is easily the best selling truck up here in WI. Probably because it’s the “official truck of the Green Bay packers” ha

Ford has always ruled here in Atlanta.  They used to make the Ford Taurus here in Hapeville.  Delta of course joined up with Ford along with Coke, another Atlanta company.  But Delta still buys all Ford trucks but I did see one Chevy 2500HD the other day.  That was odd.

Up here trucks outnumber cars. So there are tons of all brands up here but it’s GM first ford second.

Here in TX EVERYONE has a truck. Must be nice not seeing these around. I literally see my exact truck at least 10 times going in to town.

I'm here in the concrete jungle, so seeing Chevy HD trucks are rare, but not rare for Ford 250's....they are like seeing camry's here.

I saw one GMC 2500 today and that's rare so I guess it's nice not seeing my truck a dozen times a day.  But when I do I'm like holy crap, these things are gigantic...lol...

I'm 30 miles out of the city of Toledo in farm country - yes, everyone has a pickup. Chevy's are popular, but so are Ram's and I think that's because of the association of Jeep. But we have a GM trans plant in Toledo also so those workers get good discounts for the brand they work on. So it's a Cummins and Duramax world with a trickle of Phords. 

 

 Tell ya what I've noticed, the amount of GMC grills I now notice. Never noticed them, but that's how it is when you get something new, you spot them everywhere. But not these tall ass new GM's, they do stick out. but I've seen a couple who must know their stuff because I've gotten some puzzled looks since there just aren't any 24's out here in our area yet. but the 20's up absolutely do stick out.

Live in LA and see them often, not a ton but they are around....however I've only seen my High Country a few times......GMC Denali I see alot more of

 

The custom is by far the most common trim I see.....

 

Lots of contractors around so I am sure this this the reason 

 

Would say it's equal bet ween Ram, Ford and Gm for HD
