I can't wait to see the footage of these rolling over leaving cars and coffee events after an out of control 4WD burnout.

At least they wont hit a house and catch on fire. They will just go out the other side on fire. El Rapinto!

Happy to see something more than another F-150 rolling down the street but when will that market run out of buyers for $100k trucks?

There is a black one that I walk by with the dogs every week or so, depending on which what direction we go. Sounds pretty wicked, and dogs like trucks

I remember the first time I saw a diesel drag racing truck at Sacramento Raceway. He up and left a guy in a C5 Z06 that was blowing a hefty shot of nitrous. I talked to the Corvette guy in the lineup waiting to run, had a little roll bar, because he was under whatever time you could do and not have one.

It was, awe inspiring.

Launched in 4 hi and shifted out of 4 WD once he got going. Propane injection, who knew?

I've been thinking about getting a mid-size truck so I took a new Ridgeline for a test drive last week. I really wanted to like it but I didn't. It had zero character. The steering was slow, the engine response was slow, the ride wasn't all that great, so I was not impressed.

I guess I'll wait to see what the new Tacoma, Colorado, and Ranger drive like when they come out next year.

I had a 2019 Raptor, it was an awesome toy but completely useless as a pickup. 700HP in one must be awesome though!
