If it's ever going to go beyond concept and become a production model.... is unclear... but for the time being... unlikely. But damn thats a nice truck.

That is not a Raptor competitor at all. The Raptor is special because of its off road suspension, this thing has a lift kit and bigger wheels. Huge difference. One lets you soak up bumps in the desert at 100 mph. The other makes a show truck look more "trucky". I can see that Silverado being maybe a mud racer or something like that. But it would literally get destroyed if it followed a Raptor into the desert.
