The idea is there... Honestly if it wasn't so ugly it may give the raptor a run for its money. .. not performance wise but 90% of people who buy raptors are mall crawlers anyhow...

If that's any indication, it will require one heck of a lot of work to keep up with a Raptor offroad....bolting on a bunch of LED's isn't gonna get it.....:rofl:

The raptor is nothing more than a done up F150 with only 6" of up travel it's basically a factory built mid travel truck. While stating they will have to bolt on a bunch of items is not really true. There is a huge after market for Chevy in both long and mid travel kits. You could buy a base model chevy, F150, and Ram built it to be long travel for a bet less than MSRP on a Raptor. They've already proven many moons ago the "ram runner" package out performs the Raptor offroad....

The ram runner also had upgraded shocks

They should have just used the GMC All Terrain body. It already had Fox Racing suspension, and it looked much better, All they'd need to do is put in a Lingenfelter engine package.

This all day. They could help differentiate between the two brands more. An offroad gmc- and ofcourse offer the denali package, have a slightly less aggressive chevy, and then have a chevy ss truck (single cab, lower, 6.2, 6 speed option, 4.10s)
