You could add the child seat to the back of a 150/152. Not sure if that gives you 3 or 4 seats though. https://avfab.com/products/view/cessna-150-152-child-seat-auxillary/

There are two different pounds. Pound mass and pound force. So when you say pound it could be either weight or mass. It’s ambiguous.

Lifted vehicles are against the law already in many states (more than 2 or 4 inches depending on the state). It doesn’t stop people from doing it to their vehicles and enforcement is essentially 0.

Clearly the goal is to make them as unaerodynamic as possible to make them get the worst gas mileage possible.

The Toronto Four Seasons was amazing and the spa there was outstanding. Cafe Boulud was also great. Had my first baked Alaska there. One of the nicest hotels/spas I’ve been to and would go back in a heartbeat.

Waco YMF. Barnstormers has them for $150k-$275k. Some of the new ones can be IFR certified.

Trucks and SUVs are about as aerodynamic as a brick. If you want a bigger range you need a vehicle the size of a sedan that’s aerodynamic. Something like the Volkswagen XL1.
