That's what spammer has told me. We'll be staying at his ranch in Idaho just 15 miles from the western edge.

We bought my father that same van for Xmas - 2016 R/T.  Never thought I'd like a mini van, but after driving it on a short 8 hour each way trip, I think it's probably my favorite practical vehicle.  The push button electric folding seats are worth it alone, if you have to switch between hauling stuff and people.  Same with the auto sliding doors on each side/etc, very practical and useful.  Lots of doo dads too, 2 screens, the 115 system is handy for him flying his electric r/c stuff as he can charge off of it, plus plug in his VR screen and goggles and stuff. 

Might trade it on the new Pacifica when it's out, just to get the newest/latest thing in vans too.

Yup but, that was before I bought it. Made sure that is was detailed before I took it off the lot.

After 2429 miles, made it to Reno late last night. Sorry, no pics of HTC to be had. Got a very late start to the trip thanks to not running solo. We'll just leave that there. Will try to hit up HTC on the way back. However, dinner tonight with HB555 and his wife. Will see spammer tomorrow some time when he gets in from Salt Lake City.
