$50k for a Raptor? Perhaps a used one. If you want one fresh off of the lot, you're looking at $60-65k.

The 2017:


Maybe you won't find one at that price.....

I think Chevy is in a rough place here.

[6spdhyperblue]

price the raptor with at least the first bundle package 501a or whatever.

the prices you're listing is basically a stripped truck. no sliding back window, no nothing. take a look for yourself. then think hey im spending $50k and for another $6500 i can at least have some normal options. and thats not fully loaded at all you need to go 502a and that unlocks options such as lane keep and heated steering wheel. you still need to buy that

the cheapest 2door raptor i would buy is $56,000 which includes my must have options are: 501a, front locker, remote start. .
i cant justify spending $50k and not spending the little extra to get those necessity options, thats coming from someone that bought a 1SS.

-

options i want that are BLOCKED unless you go 502a($9000) then you can add them: pwr folding mirrors, heated steering wheel, lane keep

then the expense of driving the thing on premium 15city 18 highway with the A10...thats like another $10k in gas over 150k miles...how do you not get 20-21 mpg highway? wtf were they thinking

This ZR2 is not meant to compete against the Raptor but more against the Tacoma TRD Pro. Both trucks come with coilover suspension with external reservoirs with a lift, skid plates, offroad extras, but I think the ZR2 has the edge where you can get one with a Duramax Diesel motor. They will be priced similarly I believe.

I can also see some people who have been impatiently waiting for a diesel Wrangler getting one of these.

Had a 7 month wait for my diesel first time around ... One of the first couple in Canada; hopefully people won't have to wait that long for this one
On a side note: I've currently have over 26,000km on the diesel and it hasn't hiccuped once

Extended Cab (which is what I would choose to replace my current ZR2) V6 4x4 Z71 with trailer package is 34K. Performance exhaust is a joke, as is paying for Chevy's bedliner, and tonneau cover. Get a Rhino bedliner and a Pace Edwards jackrabbit tonneau cover which is far superior than what GM offers if you want that. Bose speaker.. meh.

So if a 4x4 Z71 already costs 34K, how much more is a ZR2? What else do you need to sub? The front dif is different, bit beefier suspension, better shocks, and better skid plates.. (I do not like that a skid plate is missing for the transmission.) Some additional selectable 4x4 options, some minor ascetic differences, and relocation of the spare.(which I hope is optional)

What is that worth? I say 5K. And that's why I believe the ZR2 will start under 40K. Can you option it higher, absolutely.

And FYI.. The ZR2 option for the S10 was $1750 back in the day.

My 2 cents.

I agree with you on the GM installed options being more or less, a joke. I was simply trying to option out a Z71 with as many extras as possible, just to see what they sticker for in reference to the potential price of a ZR2. Instead of exhaust, tonneau, Bose, bed liner, etc. on the Z71, the ZR2 would have similarly priced standard equipment in order to speculate an MSRP on it. Take the money from the exhaust, tonneau and Bose and figure that total may equal the cost of the wheel, tire and optional bed-mounted spare. Either way, I see this truck starting at $45k (stripped), with the option to deck it out to the tune of >$50k.
As for the ZR2 option being $1,750.00 from years '94-'04, that was a long time ago. Also, the ZR2 was not as high-tech as this new model (the old ZR2 received a boxed frame, 31" tires, 3" lift, a 3.73 rear and a few other odds and ends).
However it happens to play out, I hope they make it affordable. The prices of vehicles are outrageous these days.

It runs on 87 FWIW. Mine got built in october and it's still sitting in Dearborn.

This truck is cool and it competes with the Tacoma TRD for sure. The Raptor is in another class. Notice I didn't say better, I just said a different class.

[6spdhyperblue]

imo i think raptor is better, but its way more expensive and parking a full-size in manhattan is a problem. do you have anything to support the 87 octane claim?

i think the TRD pro is a ripoff, you can do way better for less by doing coilovers and UCA. it doesnt have widebody or anything hard to do better aftermarket.

My 2 cents.

The cross members do a decent job of protecting the transmission in stock form... The transmisson sits much higher than the these, although without the skid plate there is always a chance:

The GM spray in bed liner is worth every penny IMO
Much better attention to detail than 4/5 spray ins I've seen (especially ones done after the fact)
