It was quite the opposite here...

From a sales perspective..

So yes I'd have to agree that it "ruined it" somewhat. We experienced the merge around 2003-4 and they operated seperately for about a year(Toyota reps sold toyota, BT guys sold BT), which was great but after about 2005 it was all about market share for toyota (get in get out) and there wasn't enough quality time being spent on the BT products, Sales and service wise. BT became the 'side' product, Toyota was the main product. Same for management same for service.

I left because of it, So I hope these days I am very wrong because BT and Raymond are a top product.
