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.

I agree that the raptor is awesome and it is one of my favorite trucks.
You will never convince me that it is a bargain for at least $15k more. lol
I needed towing capacity over 8500lbs. Raptor can't do that from the factory.
As for the 4.10s, it needs at least that rear gear due to having the 35s and it gets poor gas mileage because it rolls on big meats.
The shocks don't impress me, I don't run the baja....
