who will be drinking this kool aid to spend over 90K to get HD badging chevy silverado truck?

https://www.rideapart.com/articles/440365/2020-gmc-sierra-harley-davidson-ridiculous/

favorite funny part was it was leaking just like a HD would be but this was not oil, but AC water on the ground....

Built in Flint Michigan or Fort Wayne Indiana or Texas?

Half the production run of the Silverado/Siera has windows by a Chinese company...

The other half has the windows supplied by a Mexican company...

1.  Why would anyone buy a badged-up Harley pickup truck when you could buy an actual Harley-Davidson for less (than the extra it costs over a std GMC Sierra SLT, which is $33,000) ?

2.  Moreover, a crew-cab won't fit a Harley in the bed when it has to be lugged over to the dealer for repairs. 

They didn't really think this through.

Just after the 4 minute mark, when showing off the wheels and driver’s door the truck looks like it’s dripping oil...I know it’s the A/C but just funny.

As I remember, Ford had a Harley addition some years back. Never interested me so I never paid any attention. My assumption always was that, if you paid ridiculous $$ for a Harley. You'd be willing to pay the ridiculous $$ for your truck to be badged w/ Harley. I'm curious what Ford and now GM paid/pays for the right to place that dulling name on the sides of their trucks. Serk, I agree with your view on this subject!  (One of my Father's favorite quotes)

No thanks.  I already have a heavy duty GM truck.  It only cost me $3500.

Alien,   spray paint it black with orange highlights and throw on a few HD logos and your 3500 truck just turned into 10 grand worth. 

A full sized HD will fit in the 5'8" bed with the tailgate down at least.  Plus, it will ride on carpeted bed floor to catch all the oil drippings would hate to tarnish that GMC factory spray in bedliner ya know...  If they really wanted it badged up,  the toneau cover with that HUGE HD logo is nice, but they should have had the spray in bedliner say Harley Davidson in the front part not GMC. 

Agree,   you could buy a normal decked out fully loaded GMC 1/2 ton for say 60K easy enough and spend 30K on a decked out HD cycle and still have 5K left by the time you buy this 95K limited edition HD badged 1/2 ton jacked up truck.   

the HD guys who have that kind of money to blow are getting fewer and fewer today as they age thus probably why they are only building a limited edition guessing 500 of them tops.
