Because the ZR2 does not have the roll bar, the LEDS, the side steps, the bed liner, etc, etc so you can't simply stack on top of the trailers because they are 2 totally different packages.
-
v6 Z71, which is the top level Colorado BTW, starts at under 34k for he 4x4/v6. This includes the Z71 suspension, touch screen, power seat, locking rear, off-road tires, etc, etc, etc. With the differences I honestly do not see this being more than 8-10 rand more dear. you can't use the Trail boss package as a comparable either since it includes mostly design stuff like the roll bar, spray in bedliner, fender flares, and the of-road assist steps.
-
The diesel isn't the only engine option. The standard 3.6 will come in at least a few grand cheaper. than a diesel PLUS with he V6 you aren't required to get the crewcab, but can get the standard extended cab. Also, it simple isn't going to c0ome fully loaded, no other off-road package does. They will not make it more expensive than the TRD Pro either, which also has trick shocks.
-
IMHO, you have to look at the base Z71 with a V6 which is roughly 32k. I in all reality believe this will start at 42-45k. Some sources are saying 40k, but I believe that is a bit low. The Z28 was FAR more than the shocks. The weight loss, the full suspension, lighter wheels, the brakes, aero add-ons, the hand built LS7 was a MAJOR part of the Z28s price. In reality you cannot guage the price of this by the Z28 and you don't just tack on the price of the new stuff, but remove the price of whatever is being removed.

That is one freaking sweet business. love this conversion, but don't think I love it nearly 70 grand worth haha
-
We had the Sport Truck era from the mid 90s to the mid 00s and now we are firml in the era of the off-road special. I have loved them both
-
That sounds like a blast for sure. IMHO, the biggest decider for most of these are brand loyalty. Next is the particular use and where they will use it. Again for me I go to a lot of places where room is at a minimum so any fullsize truck is going to be more of a hindrance that a help. Seriously both are fantastic and then there is the upcoming Jeep Wrangler pickup as well.

So true, but so tough to concentrate on work hahaha
-
We had our work thanksgiving dinner and now I feel like I just want to sleep. Maybe not the most productive of decisions.......

I'll bring some good old Kentucky Bourbon
-
Very much so!
-
That would just be awesome to see everyone's different thoughts on the same vehicle after an extnded period with it.
-
I think GM needs to send me a long term tester for a torture test.......
-
I can guarantee you whatever truck I have sees a LOT of off-road duty. I glanced too quick and thought they both had the same tow rating, but you are right, only 6000 for the supecab. that is totally the reverse of what one would expect.
-
See the links. looks like these are Supercrew and the Supercab actually drops to 1000, but towing stays at 8000. See above. Depending on cab it is only 100 pounds more or even less in the payload and 2500 more towing, but I don't see many purchasing either of these for towing.
-
I am finding 1200 pound payload and 8000 pound tow rating for the Raptor. http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/specifications/towing/ http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/specifications/payload/
-
Like i said i didn't include things like the tailgate step, etc, though some crazy interior packages? yes. the price came to 67200, but is possible to get over 70k by adding options like the tailgate step, etc. My guess is that you are looking at at least a 10k difference equally optioned. I doubt you see any incentives on either of these trucks meaning MSRP should give you an idea of what they will be bought for, at least after the initial period of ridiculous dealer markups.
-
Estimated base prices I am seeing are around 40k, but with no official announcement. Also, 50k is the base for the Raptor and 46k is all out maxed out on the Trail boss. I priced out a decently loaded SuperCrew Raptor 9though no accessories like a bed liner, ramps, or tailgate step, etc), and it came to nearly 70 grand. that is where our difference comes in.
-
Hehe, sorry, my bad attempt at some Looney Toons humor. Seriously though, a Raptor would never work for me on size alone. This just has me overjoyed haha. Extended cab 3.6 in grey here I am nicely impressed especially with dual locking diffs. This seems like what would happen if the Power wagon and raptor had a baby with slightly stunted growth.
-
I won't be getting one anytime soon, but a used one is a very big possibility to replace the Bug as the daily driver driver in a few years.
-
This is exactly what i want. Awesome approach angles, locking front and rear diffs, lots of ground clearance and in a smaller more maneuverable package. It may take me a few years, but i will have one!
-
In that price range there is just so much more and better things available.
-
I think this may be the one version of the new Civic i really like and would consider owning.
