Back when I was considering a Ford Lightning, I went to a local Ford dealership and the salesman came out like they do. He asked what I was looking for and I said I just wanted to see the Lightnings.
He literally said "you know we're an oil and gas country, right?"
Even if I was fully planning on buying that day, there's no way I would have bought from that guy.
At one point, he also said something along the lines of "they don't give us any incentive to push these."
