Funny Game while traveling

So my buddy and I had to drive back to DFW from far North Kansas after hunting.

He is a Chevy guy and I am a Ford guy. So after we crossed the border of KS into OK, I came up with a little game. We needed a way to pass the time.

Lets count ALL the trucks pulling anything. Then when we cross the Red River into Texas we'll add them up and see who wins. (Brands towing other brands got double points....I had one F250 pulling 2 Chevys on a trailer)

We counted, Ford, GM and Dodge only.

The results. GM 103, Ford 104, Dodge 65 (we also counted vans as part of the very scientific experiment)
Side bar, we only saw 2 new Tundras and they were not towing and 3 Nissans.

I got a good laugh.

Interesting find. I also have seen that this game can be won or lost because of location or truck use.

For example:
Here in Colorado most Ranch trucks are Ford. Most commercial trucks used for towing are Dodge.(auto transport) Most commercial truck not used for towing Chevy.(construction/landscaping) Most personal use trucks for heavy towing are split between Ford and Dodge, giving a little edge to Dodge.

But near our Farm in upstate New York, the farm trucks are Chevy. Most commercial trucks used for towing are Chevy and Dodge.(auto transport) Most commercial trucks not used for towing are Chevy.(construction) Most personal use trucks for heavy towing are Split between Dodge and Chevy. In fact near our farm most people don't even like Ford.

Maybe there aren't any Ford dealers worth a crap near your farm.

I laughed at the visual of you guys counting...Are you sure of the counts?

Just ribbing ya RR...I did kinda the same thing the other day by accident.

So you saw 272 trucks towing, and 5 ricers total, not towing?

Very sure of the counts, we had to augure a few of the F550's and untility Vans that GM uses...

We did see some ricers, only 2 new Tundras and 3 Nissans, all the nissans were towing, none of the toys were.
