I do kind of agree with you due to the fact that my Silverado will out tow the raptor for at least $15k less. Lol
Not to me it isn't. For one The silverado isn't unique. The Raptor looks are unmistakable. It has a much better 4WD system than the silverado, it has much longer wheel travel, it has better more capable shocks, it has 35" tires, 4:10 gears, more ground clearance, very nice upscale seats and a host of standard features that makes it a bargain. Oh and did I mention how awesome it looks.
I know one think, When I drive my 2500 Chevy LTZ, which by the way cost more than my Raptor, no one could care less. I've had this Raptor for going on two weeks now and every time I go anywhere I get thumbs up and people coming up to look at it. This truck is much more than just a motor.

If Chevy would build a truck like the Raptor I would probably buy one if they made the looks unique like Ford did with the Raptor. They need to do something to improve the looks of the 1/2 Silverado before I would be a buyer.
