A contractor in Fairfield just asked ChatGPT where to buy a work truck. It answered with three names, he called one, and the whole transaction is invisible to every dealer who wasn't in the answer — no impression, no click, no CRM entry.

The full regional breakdown, budget math for three dealer profiles, and the one budget line that compounds instead of resetting every month.

The full channel map with the data behind each one, the split between personal and working buyers that most dealers misread, and the geography twist the whole tri-state runs on: truck buyers travel for the right unit — but only if the machines ever show them it exists.
