      This kind of rationalization of the insane prices is amazing. Someone sells you a bucket of horse $hit for a high price and you rationalize that it’s totally reasonable price because they are selling dog turds for somewhat less. The bucket of horse $hit is practically a bargain because there is so much more content in it. How about that both piles of excrements are priced at unacceptable levels?

When I was at the dealership I found a new but 2023 LT Silverado 4x4 with the 3L Duramax diesel. This truck had a sticker price of 58k but since it was last year model year it had big discount.

    I think 8900 pound towing capacity is plenty for the half ton class. The 12,000+ ratings are to be blunt, stupid for a half ton. And most typical half tons are going to be around 9300-9500. So 8900 is a good number.
    I also think half tons should come with an asterisk on their tow ratings though that exclude enclosed type trailers at those weights. That’s not a popular opinion I know but I’m sorry, an 8,000 pound camper or especially an enclosed car trailer will push a half ton truck around like a rag doll.

Give me a baby diesel over any other power plant imo. Now that is the 3rd Gen Italian made diesel from RAM and now discontinued, so that pretty much leaves only the Duramax. What I really really want, is a baby diesel power plant combined with front wheel electric motors, electrics that can scoot me around town for pennies, the diesel can drive the rears on the highway for 25-30mpg, join the two for some 4x4 off road action. Why no one is building that absolutely confounds me!

    And Roman, stop complaining about the view of the hood. The bulge on the hood is a decorative piece to differentiate the truck from the other trims. And it wouldn’t be a bad view without the use of the front facing camera to see what’s in front of it.

    f150 raptor or trx are not commercial vehicles. Yet starts at 77k and 96 for the trx. Where you can get a 2024. 2500 zr2 diesel for 79k. That can tow more than double of what the raptor can. You get 300lb ft(200trx) of torque more in the zr2 HD. For just 2k more than the raptor. Not to mention more cab space. So it may not be able to handle the beating. A raptor or trx can take off road. However it's definitely the truck that can come deep in the mud and get the raptor and trx out. And if you're inclined to throw away another 9k the bison package could be yours. And its just the meanest looking truck on the market imo.

    This truck would be perfect, and a true budget Raptor, if only it had two more key features: a wider stance, and 35” tires stock (or at least room to upgrade later without having to trim or adjust anything).
    Sure, those aren’t the only differences with a Raptor, but the other couple of differences, like the Raptor’s upgraded suspension in the rear vs the ZR2’s leaf springs, aren’t that big of a deal IMO. 99% of the buyers of these trucks will never notice that difference in 99% of the time they use their trucks.

    Nice truck in isolation, but the Raptor is vastly more capable. It can sustain speeds of 60+ on whoops over a foot deep, it leads in every clearance category with the 37s, it has active suspension adjustment, and it has coil springs vs the leafs on the ZR2. Plus, it won’t crack down the middle after a day of off-roading (reference Mint 400 ZR2 that broke at the end of the race).

    Most vehicles in Canada have block heaters. Block heater plugs are usually in the grill. I have never seen a block heater plug on the bottom edge of a 4x4 bumper where it can scrape against rocks offroad or get covered in mud or ice. Are the DSSV shocks great or prone to failure/leaking? I have seen several TH-cam videos of people with low mileage (15,000-30,000 Miles) trucks that had DSSV shocks that started leaking fluid. The DSSV shocks were too expensive to replace when the warranty ran out at about 32,000 miles (a little longer for extended warranty) so the truck owners replaced them with conventional shocks.

Sure, you're getting a lot more interior room and a V8.. but if off-road chops are your reason for purchasing, look at Colorado ZR2 or Canyon AT4-X. You can't even get 35s from the factory on the full-size GM trucks!
