Doesn't look as good as the raptor. And beige?

When it's all said and done, the tow hooks, flares, and decals will probably be the only things that make production. Oh, and the real package will only be available with crew cabs.

TuffG929 · 11-03-2009, 11:30 AM

I like the look....but i wouldn't expect to see a raptor fighter from the general any time soon.

cyclone · 11-03-2009, 11:37 AM

Oh, man . A ZR2?!? Oh, it will never happen.

Canyonaro · 11-03-2009, 12:00 PM

I love the ZR2 designation. I wish they carried that over from the S-10's to the Colorado series instead of using the larger vehicle Z-71.

Its Ugly, does not look like a Baja truck, it looks more like a typical lift job

RamJet502 · 11-03-2009, 01:16 PM

That's a mall cruiser not an offroader.

FenwickHockey65 · 11-03-2009, 01:18 PM

Meh. Not too bad. But I wouldn't drive one.

Slideways · 11-03-2009, 01:59 PM

There are more lifted 4x4 Silverados on the road that there will ever be Raptors. It is too bad that GM doesn't have a serious off-road truck to be the halo vehicle the Raptor is, but the Raptor, at least to me, is more of a win for Ford in terms of marketing than it ever will be as far as sales go. Ford's never going to get back what they invested just based on Raptor sales.

Honestly I don't care if it makes it to production as a Raptor competitor. I do however hope the grill and hood preview a possible facelift.

Well it is the HD front end. Maybe Chevy will give the 1500s the HD front end like they did at the end of the GMT800 run.

And this...

Is that the same truck as in the Baja thread the other day? Geez, if it is I take my comments all back. I thought the fenders were reworked to look nice again but I must have been mistaken. This is a monstrosity!... Big fender flares on Top of already flared fenders?? Ughh.... And I was thinking (for some strange reason) that the grille/bumper fiasco was fixed.. Nope. Maybe GM needs to just stick to cars and crossovers from here on out. Turn in their Truck card and call it good.

Now if had the 4.5L diesel, removeable/washable neoprene seat covers, wash out drain plugs in the floor, heavy duty skid plates, a winch, off roading front/rear facing lights, and a finish that was scratch/chip resistant....then it would be exciting. Good use of GMPP engine parts though.

chakis24 · 11-04-2009, 08:11 AM

a suspension lift and 35 inch tires does not a raptor fighter make.

i like how they took the tahoe front and grafted it to the silvy though, look good. the huge grille and hood is a little tacky though.
