I live in Kansas City, MO. and prior to about late September, I rarely spotted any Gen 3's. It seems since then that I see 1 or 2 almost everyday. So if you live in Northwest Missouri and you are on this forum, let's hear from you.

 

Not from NW Missouri (from Calgary Alberta) but its funny you mention this. I was out for a beer the other day and made the nearly the same comment to my buddy. Because of the various industries (oil/gas, farming, etc.) Alberta has LOT of trucks on the road and in the past six monthsI've seen more and more mid-sized models (Dakota, Tacoma and Frontier) as part of the mix. While there are a lot of different reasons for going mid vs. full sized for me it came down to practicality. I like the flexibility of a quad cab pick up (need to have the ability to drive people for the job at times and still doing reno's on the house) but from previous experience (a lifted '03 Ram 1500 4x4 quad cab short box) a full sized truck is just too damned big. It wouldn't fit into most of the downtown parkades, to get it into my garage I had to cut off part of the stairs (and even then I literally only had an inch to spare) and was pain in the *** to get in and out of while wearing a suit.

 

Yeah the compass makes me sad, it's an embarassment to the Jeep name...

I have been seeing more gen 3 Daks lately though.

 

Here in Northern NJ I have seen a lot more Gen 3's in the past few months than I have ever. It's nice to see actually. Even First Energy and the State of NJ are using them as maintenance trucks.

 

northen jersey here i drive to central valley( ny) everydaay and there seems to be a ton of em on the road now. its about a 35 mile drive. like they were on sale and everyone got one. there was a nnice silver one witha body lift that passed me looked awsome.

 

Here in Central Florida the number have grown to better than ten a day just in my work round trip. They sold a bunch down here.

 

Same here in Central PA. I don't see too many on the PA turnpike, but getting to and from, I often see quite a few...at least two or three per day.

 

I also see that the city utilities companies and other service business such as exterminating and cable TV are using them. The 05~07 where quite cost efficient but the 08s have gotten expensive.
