Raptor v RamRunner verdict....

Apples to oranges, I'll keep my apple. Or are we the orange, now I'm confused.

Haha yea, it was their attempt at a baja truck. It's silly to see all these companies trying to do the same as a raptor, yet it's like they just don't give a shit and just Half ass it.

Exactly! I did some serious looking for a Raptor alternative before buying, thinking the competitors have had time to meet and possibly beat Ford's offering. Everything else just seems like a half hearted, waste of cash solution.

I think Toyota could come up with something really awesome if they truly wanted to. I saw a Hilux Diesel that had long travel suspension on it out here. It was seriously badass.

I think if Toyota were to do a long travel Tacoma it'd be a pretty sweet deal. One of those things where it wouldn't cost as much as a Raptor, so it'd appeal to a different market, but still sort of compete. Competition in any form is good for everyone because it's going to force companies to up their game.

I dunno man, their crappy attempt with the Tacoma they did do was something like $35k

Can't imagine they could keep it that cheap with true long travel and stuff.

They couldn't do it with the tundra, that things just junk.

My graveyard partner has a Tundra Rock Warrior. When parked side by side I cant help but chuckle a little knowing he payed nearly the same amount as I did for the Raptor.

6.2, you're probably right. Thing is, nobody is going to buy a Taco that costs as much as a Raptor unless it's above and beyond the Rap in terms of performance, and I just can't see Toyota launching something that's that capable as a production truck. So they'd have to keep the price down to sell it. That's just my take though.

Yep. Toyota's are just way to overpriced as is.

I have no interest in buying any of their current products.
