    The grille lettering will SCREAM to the guys that already own F-150s though. You know 'em, the ones already wearing the greasy Ford Racing ballcaps wherever they go. And if they wear a cowboy hat, they have a Ford manhole cover........err, I mean belt buckle. And that's one heck of a lot of people.

    I would have loved to have seen Dodge go into production with their T-Rex offroad concept vehicle of about 10 years ago. Lifted 6X6 Dodge Ram, all solid axles.

    Ugly as kcuf but imagine doing the stuff they put it through in anybodys stock lifted truck. It's just not gonna happen. That suspension was designed very well and with 11" travel from factory thats extremely impressive. GM should have gone this route putting R&D money into an LS based truck of this stature rather than selling those POS Hummers.

    Yep, its is definitely what the Z-71 should have been, instead of some
    worthless trim and wheel package.
