Makes perfect sense to me that Ford would put their bad boy V8 in a high-po Raptor. RAM is gonna Hellcat the RAM TRX. We all know that in a few years when the next gen Ranger lands, there will be Ranger Raptor (likely with a twin turbo V6) and I'd bet money that RAM will also create a high-po offroad and/or street version of their midsize-RAM when it comes out.

GM will need to answer. GM should take advantage of the current market, which is all about trucks and SUVs/CUVs. I realize its much more difficult than just dropping in a more powerful engine and calling it a day, but I really feel like a higher powered version of the Silverado and the Colorado or Canyon would be a decent seller. I'd be all in for a twin turbo or V8 mid-size GM truck right now.
