How many 1st Gens do you see in your area?

I see one almost everyday, another occasionally depending on what times I go to work and come home. I know he drives his everyday. After that I see about three others on occasion.

How about you guys?

Don't see many, I know where a couple live, I did see a red/silver D350 EC yesterday, first time I have seen that one.


In a 20 mile circle I have seen maybe 8.

The only other one I've seen is Jim Lane's. I've seen newer 3rd Gens and Cheby's and Ferd's.

I see them all the time here in the Eastern Panhandle of WV. No counting the 9 between my dad and I that is. Heck as rare as many people think W350 single wheel trucks are there are 4 in my town alone. All are factory W350 single wheels that I have known of since the mid 90's. Sadly one of the sickest low mileage 1993 W250 club cab 5spd's I have seen was totaled by the owners son. It was two tone blue/silver/blue with a 6" lift and 35" tires. The owner was a diesel technician for trucking company and had it built for fun! Then one Summer day the owners son took the truck for a joy ride with friends and rolled the truck "TRYING TO HIT A DEERE"!!!!!! I love my son but if he totaled my truck doing something that stupid I would smack my wife for creating something that stupid. But to answer your original question I see them weekly. Most are ones I see from time to time but some are first timers. I would say there are 15-20 within a 30m radius.

Bet that kid thought nothing of it, too. Probably thinks " it's just a piece of tin, dad will get another, or fix it. Meanwhile, what can I drive now, pops?"
Dang generation of "entitlement" kids. I can't stand their thinking. If I could get away with it, I'd slap 'em all. Slap them hard.

I see about 4 a day, especially during the summer months. Saw one for sale two days ago, next to a older style mustang also for sale. First gen sold. Mustang still sitting there.

Theres a young guy who owns a black smoking version the next town over from me. There is one that's sitting on a side street not too far away as well, but it hasn't moved in years.

Not many at all, but I'm sure I'll see a few this weekend.

I see alot of them here in North texas, but when I was visiting in North Alabama- I didn't see one. It felt strange..

Wonder if it's rust or if North Alabama just had horrible dealership which helped send them onto an early grave.

I couldn't agree more. Oddly enough even though the owner was a big Mopar nut he ended up buying a big Powerjoke Excursion.

There are a good many in my area. See at least a half dozen on a regular basis, but have seen at least a couple dozen from time to time. Ranging from sweetness, to just pulled it out of the back 40 to come to town.

Two weeks ago when I traveled to visit my brother, it was the long weekend here, I think I saw about 10 - 1st Gen's with campers in the back, 6-7 were 4wd, the others were 2wd. Then there was probably another 5-6 pulling trailers.
