Why doesn’t GM do this?

[Battlebornzr2]

I see tons of Raptors and TRX's parked near my 2500HD at the grocery store and Cotco all the time.

Out here in the sierras its almost like raptors got given away. They're everywhere.
And seeing tons of rhos now.

The current ZR2 was always the final form of the T1. "If" GM makes the Meteor it will be in the next Gen Silvy, not the current turd.

It's not just a simple 4 fender slap, 15 extra HP's and suspension.

They shot a magic bullet through their ass and hit their foot on this platform.

Look at how much moding needs to be done to fit larger wheels in the beta fender wells and so far we are F'd on regearing a welded diff.
They definitely need revised spindles to fit lager ball joints and tierod ends.
The list goes on and on.

You’re telling me GM couldn’t make enough profit offering a truck that starts around the $100k mark?

Ford and Ram proved the demand is there, idk about your area but in South Florida I see them all over the place.

There was a brandy new one sitting on the lot at Kendall Dodge Ram just two weeks ago. An unsold 2024.
That's in Miami, btw.

Same here, guys run 2500HDs and 3500/4500 duallys to haul their expensive stuff around. Seen a $250k 1500 HP sand rail at the dunes the with a custom Pfaff dual supercharged motor that does 100 mph wheelies on the drags. Plenty of rock crawlers, trophy trucks, and 2x priced UTVs to scratch that itch if you got the cash.

I see plenty of Raptors and TRX running around, but never seen anything on the trails. But there are Jeeps with +$30k worth of gear on every trail around, cause they are better at it.

Same around here. None of these trucks are actually on the trails. Logging roads and power line trails maybe. Mostly just to pull toys to the trails. 100k gets you a new turn key supercharged rock bouncer on 43s solid axles with 24"s of wheel travel, lol. It makes no sense to really wheel something like a raptor R or TRX. Just a normal SxS will handle way more trails. My KRX was 22k i think. Way more capable offroad then any of these "offroad" trucks. Again put it on its side you just flip it back on it's wheels and keep riding

But these trucks look good and eat up crappy back roads and bumpy fields. If anything the Trailboss trim shows that a ton of people just want the look.

Yep, motorcycles and ATV/UTVs have always been my fun fix. I'd rather have a average truck and some toys vs expensive underutilized vehicles.

It doesn't bother me that others see it differently. So if you want a Raptor or TRX, I think they are great trucks and if it fit my lifestyle I wouldn't hesitate to run one.

Gm did trademark the names "meteor" and "zrx". Guessing sometime after tge launch of the 27 we might see meteor wipe out the dinosaurs.

This sliver of hope is refreshing to hear, if they went through the trouble to get a name reserved maybe they have something being developed.

For the love of God please don’t let it be another EV.

Was running around doing some errands and listening to my Cody Jinks channel on Pandora and this grea tune from Blackberry Smoke came on. I thought it was fitting for this thread, so enjoy it........."Wish in One Hand"!

Also, their whole catalog is awesome!
