Uh oh... lol That's actually a good wager In all fairness, I have been talking about the crew cab with the 2.8 this whole time. Which, I realize isn't the base trim(I didn't realize until I looked back at the article that it is offered with the regular extended cab) so those two alone are about 6-7k? So from my 48ish-k price one could cut 6-7k from that for the smaller cab and 3.6. Man, that Duramax is awesome but holy balls as a 4k option it's pricey. I just built a 4x4, extended cab, Z71 with the 3.6 and it was just a tad over 40k. $40,690. I don't know how it could be built less than that. 45k starting sounds about right for the 3.6. This whole time I had the Duramax stuck in my head as if that was the only option for some reason.

I don't see why something like that would be completely dissolved and fuel economy wouldn't matter all of a sudden.

As long as FCA is around they will be able to sell pollution credits.

That's where I tried to go but for whatever reason the page was "simplified" and didn't break it down like that at all. I do like that they break it down to the T for us to see the payload and towing capacity. I've seen them tow but you're spot on. Nobody buys these to tow.. The occasional trailer for things is great but they aren't designed with that in mind. Am I seeing something wrong but that link showed the shorter extended cab(134.2in wheelbase) Raptor towing only 6000lbs? Same with payload, 1200 SCrew and 1000 extended cab.

Yeah it's not made for that though.. Comparing it to the Raptor again the payload and towing capability are dog$h! as well. Looking on Ford's website it doesn't seem right because it still states the 12,200lb towing capacity and 3270lb payload. I'm pretty confident that those numbers drop a decent amount for the Raptor.

Yeah but those base prices are extended cab, 3.6 not the Duramax which is only offered in the crew cab. So I guess the 3.6 will be offered at a much more reasonable price but the Duramax will be insane for the money, imo. Raptor starts at 49,500(with destination added in). Add in the 801A package to get leather and 10 way adjustable seats brings it to 52,600 in crew cab form, not Super Crew. Super Crew was 55,600. I'm not sure what you added to get another 15k but it had to have been absolutely loaded to the brim with extra petty stuff. Jumping to the 802A($9300) package the Super Crew was still "only" 61,800. But if it's 10-12k more than a ZR2 at THAT package level you're getting features that the Silverado doesn't even offer. The 801A is realistic price comparison.

So I'm having a difficult time understanding where this will price and why anybody who isn't a fanboy would buy it over a Raptor... Here's why..(I do understand if you genuinely want a smaller vehicle because not everybody wants a half ton size truck. I built a crew cab, Z71, with the Trailboss package and the Duramax and it ran up a tad over 46k. Won't this be at the very least a 2-3k package on top of that?? That brings it to just under 50k and a Raptor is something like 52-55k. Unless I'm screwing up and can be built in lesser trims like LT or LS. I guess I'm just assuming it is added price on top of the top trim.

Well I wanted a Canyon but to be honest I just wanted to find something different. The Hilux is super ugly compared to the Tacoma we get here otherwise the diesel version of that would have been a no-brainer because I love how it looks. The X3 was just kind of the daily/larger vehicle used for any form of people or "things" hauling. I'd LOVE a GTD! Such a cool concept, performance oriented diesel car. Way cool to me.

I think I've got a list and the Lotus wit full credit to @Frisky Dingo because it was a kille idea! Lotus Exige Series 2 Mazda Miata BMW X3d xDrive VW Golf GTD - 184hp/280tq VW Amarok 6 SPEED MANUAL! 178hp/310tq

Well 3 vehicles stand out to me over the Encore and Casa nailed it! If I can get the Bolt that is easily the one. If not, I'm inbetween the CX-3 and the Renegade. Completely opposite vehicles in terms of one is sporty on road and the other is sporty off-road. But honestly, if I had 30k for a SUV/SUV I think I'd step up a class to the CX-5/Escape/CR-V/Cherokee size. I built a Grand Touring, AWD, CX-5 for $29,900. This makes me think the Buick is a little over priced but then again they only send magazines their top trim plus additional options. If it really came down to it I might sacrifice AWD for the Tech package because LED lights just look so damn cool. @Frisky Dingo Is this step up in class size allowed? If so, this is exactly like the one I built online. Grand Touring in a dark grey.

There it is! I'm surprised it took that long to get a Fiesta ST and a Miata in there! I thought those two were gimmies.
