Best Snow Brush?

Best Snow Brush?
So anyone here blessed to live in a snow ridden region?
New F350 is tall and I'm short. The brush I had for the F150 didn't cut it today. Went to Walmart, not a single snow brush left in the store.
Anyone here have a favorite that won't scratch up the paint and has a decent scraper on the other end?
They had a nice one with both the brush and foam thing at Walmart when I was in there Wednesday night but since this snow storm started up yesterday every frantic person went in there and cleaned them out

Added: 5-10 more inches on the way with winds 30-45mph possible throughout the day. A few short miles from here south has 20" already and more coming too. Roads closed in many areas, especially out where JD Buck Savage lives who just brought his new truck home.

I don't own an ice scraper or snow pusher. If it requires scraping, I let the truck warm up enough to melt the ice. This worked fine with my 7.3; no experience yet with my 6.7
We don't get much snow in Maryland, but if I'm home and need to clear the truck I use my backpack leaf blower. Might sound crazy but it works great.
The rare occasions where we have had 12"+ of snow, nylon bristle push broom for bulk removal followed up with the leaf blower gives the fastest and cleanest result.
If ice is forecast or mixed in, I put grocery shopping bags over the wipers and mirrors so they stay clear. Contractor trash bag cut lengthwise and held in place by the doors takes care of the windshield and makes clearing it quicker.
I keep a pair of Grunden sleeves in the truck for when I'm away from home Brigg 25 Sleeves Slip those over my jacket and just use my arm.
Best,
Chris

I'm Canadian, (Alberta) we get a ton of snow here and this is what I use by Garant, they sell them here at Canadian tire but I'm sure you'll find them in the USA, it extends and the head swivels, it's all click lock not the ****ty turn tighten, and snow doesn't get stuck in it like a brush, works good for the bed cover and roof too, here are some pics

I see places that sell their shovels but not the snow brushes, not even on Amazon. There are similar items out there though.

I got a great brush a couple years ago. Don't recall the brand. I believe I picked it up at Walmart. Never seen anything quite like it before or since. Wish I had bought two.
The main stock or handle or whatever you call it is slightly curved and extends to an overall length of over 3 feet. The brush can be rotated so you can use it as a regular snow brush or a rake. And the ice scraper isn't completely solid so it conforms to the sweep of the windshield. Every season I have to make sure I get my snowbrush into the truck before my wife or daughter snag it.

check the watts on the blower, if it's less then 400 then your good to go! Or just plug it in and test it, the the truck has a safety power out if you go over 400 that turns back automatically in a few seconds

Was it this one? Subzero/Mallory, "Super-duty" Crossover Series. Model 14035 - extends to 35", and #14039 extend to 50"
I bought it because it was extendable, and (for some reason) I liked the name. The curved handle makes it a great snow brush for long reach to the top of the windshield or the roof.
Walmart carries them for ~$12, but they usually sell out the first time it snows.

sno rake Sno-Rake
Don't know the brand but I have been using something similar for over 10 years.
New Jersey is a must clear state, and this broom works great for clearing the truck and roll top cover. No scratches.
