    Everyone :jerkoff: over the Raptor's off road prowess must have missed all the posts on bent frames from taking it off road and utilizing the stock "long travel". No thanks on this or the Raptor, rather buy a base truck and get it fabbed properly.

    While may be very functional it just looks :puke:

    I think that must be easily the ugliest front end on a truck to date, worse than the chrome wall of 2014 Tundra. :eek:

    Raptor ... Reaper? They couldn't have come up with a more original name? Then the graphics on top of it? Seems like the designer from Ford was hired by Chevy. Looks stupid and like a knockoff of the Raptor.

    when I originally saw this vimeo.com/84008735 I was like "holy shit Chevy might have actually built something that would get me out of a Tacoma!" now that I see an actual picture (granted it's not all blacked out) I think I will take back what I said.

    I'd rather see specs before I judge.
    Bigger wheels=smaller tire and less unsprung weight. It's not like they put rubber bands on for tires.
    Toyota should make the Tundrs Rager. Because it'll give everyone a throbbing Hardon looking at it.

    You do realize many cars are knock offs right? :p

    I still like the baja better, but between the ford and chevy, I like this a whole lot more than the raptor.

    I'll pass on the raptor and the reaper. I will stick with my 1st gen that will still be running strong after those trucks are in the junk yard...

    Anyone notice the Rigids that come with it. Supposedly if this goes to production, it will have those from the factory. There's a reason those aren't visionX or Chinese off brands.

    Because if they say they have well known brands on it, they can charge more?

    Well known brands become well known because they're typically doing something better, so in a way, yes. ;)

    I'm a Chevy guy to the bone and I'm stoked on this. But by no means is this or the raptor truly off road capable. Yeah I'll piss on the raptor and pass on the reaper and get a duramax turbo diesel colorado in 2015 and build it to huck :)
