That is an interesting story. Reminds me of my late business partner. He learned that (back when Railroads were regulated) that the tariff on “mixed auto parts” was one of the lowest rates for shipping goods. So he had vendors always throw a car part into each shipment.

Google it.

I really want to buy the new Ford Raptor, lol! But my wife mandated that the truck seat six people and cost $10k-$20k. So I'll have to wait a couple of years until my oldest son leaves the house before I go for the Raptor I guess. I have no idea which model/make of trucks are capable of seating all six of our family. What are some options I would be looking at? And what is a 'good' truck in this price range? Someone told me the Dodge truck after year 2012 is the best value. Never owned a Dodge though, so I'm not sure about that. I like Toyota, so the Tundra looks appealing, and I think some versions of it seat six with the fold down console in the middle, right? But those are expensive. I sold all my water toys since Utah Lake is now a mud puddle, so I don't really have much need for towing capacity right now.
