I’ve seen em, overrated.  Make sure u test drive a new Chev Silverado, pick a package. You’ll like them more.

You haven't seen the Raptor R.  It's a 700hp V8 Raptor. I'm not sure what Silverado will compete with it.

The hugest vehicle purchase mistake in our lives was buying a god damned Ford.  Another $1800 bucks down the drain with less than 40K miles last week. An Escape. Christ I'm ready to drive it off a cliff.

Truth!
Stay with RAM!

Lord knows a Dodge never breaks down. I'm not even sure why shops and technicians exist for them things.

There are plenty of people for who bigger & faster is better & they don’t care about gas mileage.

Though it's on a much lower cost scale, the above statement pretty well defines rifles and all the different cartridges we seek.  If it weren't for this mentality, we'd all only have one of two different rifles.  ;)

GMC has their new AT4X which isn't much different than the AT4 but even the new GMC AT4X isn't even in the same league as the regular Ford Raptor let alone the new Raptor R.

Unless GM has something in the works and I hope they do because competition in the market place, IMO, always drives for a better product, GM doesn't have anything even close to the Raptor R.

True story. I’m guilty of it with shotguns. I have 6 I think & I'm trying to save up for a Franchi over/under 16 gauge, if my stupid house would stop assaulting my bank account.
