The Parkway Chevrolet dealership at the junction of SH249 and the Grand Parkway tollroad in Tomball, TX, is wall-to-wall, literally the entire lot, filled with identical, white pickups. It's very visible and obvious as one takes the southbound interchange bridge between the two tollroads (look on Googlemaps, you'll see).
No other cars or colors. Just acres of white pickups. I was actually a bit uncomfortable and disconcerted by it. I wondered WTF and I'm now relieved to hear I'm not being weird or paranoid for noticing. Pattern recognition is my strong suit, I guess.
White is the go to color for fleet vehicles, look at themnup close I bet they are all the basic package with no frills. If they are all the utility companies buy then and use them for fleets.
I drive through there at least once a month, and they've always been a retail location with a variety of cars. But not this time: the entire lot was nothing but identical white pickups.
And no—I don't do the Q shit. I don't have patience for their dumb-ass oblique questions. If they've got something to say, they should just fucking say it and quit playing games.

I was thinking the same thing which might also mean fleet sales are tanking if they are sitting on a dealer lot in mass.
And in some industries, white pickups are associated with higher status. You are "the man". If you are issued a colored truck, you groan inwardly.
I wasn't a Quartermaster but I can see logistical inventory when I see it.
Maybe govt backed out of a contract? Or maybe govt about to buy them all up.
