Chevy Reaper

It needs a cool hood scoop and a wing on the back.

 

Hey, at least it's not a Pontiac Aztek!

 

I think I would rather have an Aztek…..

 

Reaper, raptor, treamor?.... meh...

 

The Raptor's styling is basically understated. The Reaper is cartoonish. If the Bieber bought a truck, he would get a Reaper.

 

x2, very transformer like, I dont like the new chevy full size headlights either with the led's on top and bottom of the projector, please toyota don't do this to the new tacomas.

 

AMEN!!!

Late to the party.

 

Chevy may have lost its path....but some of you may not remember its good times...as far as modern Chevy engines being junk ....I disagree that's why mine is getting a Ls3 transplant...so hate away I know this is a Toyota forum.

 

Yeaa...... the 01 chevy 6.0L v8 in our 2500hd has chewed through a quart of oil every 1500 mi since 70k miles... has piston slap so bad that youd swear a can of bolts was dumped down the intake... and we are not mean to it... in fact the opposite oil changes ever 3k its never been over heated or anything... just poorly built.

its a hunk oh shit... and nothing has changed in the GM world.

 

Lol...that's why ls swaps are so popular I guess..and even pumping mad horses they still get better gas mileage ...you are right...they suck...or they give a damn...never had one let me down yet....proof is in the fact that most guys haul their crawlers to the site with the same engine!

 

By the way that's the LQ engine you speak of

 

The old chevy's are nice looking trucks but the new ones just feel cheap. The interior feels similar to a ranger and its just not a nice place to be. I can't speak on reliability though

 

The new ones feel more like a luxory vehicle than a truck is the real issue. My pops has one and sure it's really nice inside but it feels more like a car than a truck

 

I don't understand the appeal of these trucks at all. The raptor is just shy of 70 grand up here and its not really that exciting. The 6.2 and upgraded suspension is nice but you could build a way more capable rig with 20 grand to spare. You can get a f-150 for like 30,000 judging by peoples Lt set ups here it costs 15,000 for that another 5000 for a supercharger or something and there you go. Another 1000 for glass fenders and there you go.

Raptors seem to me to be the flashiest mall crawler around.

 

Tbh the material that the dash is made of bugs me the most. It just looked really bad imo reminded me way too much of my ranger. I haven't been in the newest edition so they might have stepped it up.

 

Raptor, Reaper, its all just a scam to try and sell people what appears to be popular right now at big bucks because they know that there are lazy people out there who will buy them instead of building a better rig for less money

 

Haha are they serious releasing this? Deciding to keep the stock headlight housings was a very poor desicion, the front would look way better with a different headlight design.


Other than that the whole truck is like the retarded step down from the Raptor. Square wheel wells, giant bro rims.... It's hideous

 

The raptor is flashy but it's not a mall crawler by any means. Most of them are used that way, but it's still badass. Pricey, but it's cool

 

The fox springs are nice and all but for the price tag its just too much cost for too little.

You get a truck with a spacer lift in the back and just under 1000 pounds payload capacity. You and a buddy who weigh 200 pounds means it drops to 600.

I'm far from an expert when it comes to LT set ups but I can't see it having that much travel either. The tire looks like it only has an inch or two of up travel until it would hit the fender. I'm might be way off base on this though.

The Ram Runner looked kinda neat. It was a more hardcore version of the raptor based on a 1500 for much less money iirc.
