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.

I was thinking the same thing...

Really Rancho? I think they went this route for price and even your average Joe (no pun intended) knows or heard the name Rancho over the years. GM used to use a lot of Bilstein. But most won’t know the name and forget Fox and King, you have would have to truly know a little.

A 2” lift is one thing. 2” more of suspension travel is a whole different ball game.

Also still runnin the 5.3, stating "this is a man's truck" riiiiiight. That motor is antiquated & underpowered in stock form.

The Trail Boss lacks a lot of things. First a proper fuel tank. GM is still only putting in 24 gallon tanks, which I find to be kind of small when Ford, Toyota, and Ram have options for extended range tanks or they come standard with them. The Rancho shocks are a joke. The interior is not bad, way better than the ZR2 Colorado, but the column shifter needs to go. The rear bumper is ugly. I disliked it from the press release event when they flew it in with a helicopter.

In my opinion the Raptor is the better truck. I still want one more than ever.

What’s wrong with column shifters?

They’re pointless if they don’t get you a proper bench seat.

They make me feel like I’m driving my 78-year-old father’s truck. Might as well load it up with chrome and one of those vertical bug deflectors on the hood while we’re at it.

Frees up room in the center console and makes me feel like I have a third ******** lol.
