Best Vehicle to Buy to Pull a Small Bass Boat...

Personally, I firmly believe that what makes this country great is the free market, competition, and so on. It forces companies to evolve or die and makes people try harder than they otherwise would. That said, my old employer shipped my job, and many others, to the Philippines to save money (resulting in a grossly inferior product, I might add...AND they were making me train those in the Philippines to take MY job, hence my referring to it as my "old employer"), so I do often have issues with non-US goods. Ultimately, though, I think some competition is a good thing.
Wouldn't give up my Bass Tracker for anything, though. (I have to admit, however, that a lot of my reels are Japanese. Never really thought about that until now.)

It is impossible to just buy American made goods anymore. I think every vehicle has some part made from somewhere else. My big thing is even though some vehicles are made here, Toyota, you are still supporting corporate Japan with a purchase, I would rather support corporate America...It was good to get competition, I think it made our Big 3 a whole lot better. I personally never even think of looking at a toyota, nissan or any other foreign named vehicle when I look for new cars and trucks.. And my job of 22 years went to Mexico in 1998, RCA, now known as Thomson... I'm done...........

And my condolences about your job. It's rough.

A buddy of mine bought a Ford F150, with a tow package, for a little over $10,000.00......Brand new...... An unbelievable great deal on a good truck...
