I lol'd when the trail boss commercial mentioned Rancho shocks as a feature :33:

Yeah, during that commercial after the "...if you have Rancho shocks, if you have blah blah blah, if you have all this..." my 6 yo son interjects with - "Then you STILL don't have a Raptor."


That ad is almost as good as the GMC tailgate commercial!!

It's like they just said - alright fellas, we can't compete in any other arena so I want the most badass tailgate you can come up with... ideas anyone? - one of the engineers: Uhh... we could make a Transformer...? You know, something to keep the driver entertained and comfortable while they wait for towing assistance.

I dont know how a raptor ownercan even compare a raptor to any other production truck built for the SW . Not even in the same universe. Just look at the build how it was built and handling forget it u want to tow buy a truck that will tow this aint for hauling its for exploring and off roading built in baja not built on interstate 80 not built for hauling dodge chevy is a joke apples to apples chevy and dodge compared to rap is not doable i have a 14 and a 19 and live 10 miles off paved road in SW on hardpack and u put 14 in sport by disabling trac control or baja in 19 or normal on both toyota chevy dodge suck from the get go and would never last i am still amazed at the job ford did on these feats of engineering that we get to enjoy

That is some of the goofiest shit I've ever seen! So it has 95 less hp, and 127 less lb/ft of torque, but "the Raptor simple can't compete". WTF does that even mean? I kept thinking I was reading it wrong.

Raptor
With a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 engine under the hood, with a respectable 450 horsepower with 510 pound-feet of torque. The Raptor simple can't compete.
Trail Boss
The 5.3-liter V8 engine in the Trail Boss provides 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, routing the power to the four-wheel-drive system through an eight-speed transmission. Nothing to sneeze at.

Undoubtedly some far reaching marketing by Chevrolet. It’s interesting how they outline their weak spots and try to turn the tide to their favor.

Additionally, you think they could write without grammatical errors.
