    Trailer was probably valued at $80K according to "their" blue book value

    Just thinking. $100,000 of ammo. At a price of 50 cents per round for 9 mm, that is 200,000 rounds. 1,000 rounds in a 50 cal. can weighs 40 pounds. That is 8,000 pounds or 4 tons.
    They said a White Tahoe was involved. Even though White Tahoes can carry more weight than blue or red Tahoes, 4 tons is more than Chevrolet rates them even with the heavy duty Towing Package.
    Maybe the News got the value wrong?

    I didn't know Rich Wyatt was involved with OD Green.

    It was in a trailer. I'm pretty sure a Tahoe can pull 8k pounds.

    Good Point!
    Here is the Tahoe tow rating.
    Don't know how much weight to add to the rating for it being a White Tahoe
    Weight Carrying Hitch: 5,000 lbs / 600 lb tongue weight
    Weight Distributing Hitch: 12,000 lbs / 1,500 lb tongue weight

    What kind of an ass-hat stores ammo outside before selling it to retail customers?

    The kind of ass hat that is sitting on a shit ton of ammo because they burned all of their customers with their pricing policies during the panic, that now faces a horrible overstock problem on overpriced ammo.

    Plus the weight of an enclosed trailer that can handle 8k is probably going to be in the 3k-3500 lb range alone and that's considering a LIGHT trailer
