Meteors killed the dinosaurs: Chevy to introduce Raptor and TRX competitor

[pronstar]

And I’m sure it will cost 1/3 what I paid for my house…

Can the Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 "Meteor" Kill Off the Dinosaur Trucks?

Our rendering of how a Chevy competitor for the Ram TRX and Ford Raptor R might look.

Yeah another 100k+ mall crawler. Probably has a shitty payload capacity and towing capability to boot. I need a truck for truck things.

I do like trucks as off-road toys, but not at Gucci prices.

IMHO these trucks have engines that write checks their suspensions can’t cash…

Don't get me wrong I think it's a cool toy. I think for the price I could probably get a purpose built pre-runner/trophy truck though. I've seen some of the king of the hammers trucks go for about 50k. Trophy trucks for Baja are super expensive to build, but probably not nearly as much used.

Yeah this will set you back $350k…and if I had the scratch it would be in my driveway.

Since Chevy went Chinese, they lost my business and respect.

Anything except a twin I-beam suspension.
Those were great for a few thousand miles.
Then it was like herding pigs.

You don't like uneven tire wear and steering that wanders?
