why doesnt chevy make a version of the raptor or trx? come to think of it, why dont they have a wrangler/bronco either? why does GM hate off roading so much?
they made an off road version of the colorado.
>>28961158Because they're retarded (except the c8 doebeit)
>>28961158They have the Silverado ZR2 Bison which is similar minus the power. The Raptor and the RAM RHO don't exactly fly off the shelves so they probably don't think it's worth investing money into a supertruck. The Bronco sells okay but not well enough to warrant making a Colorado based SUV. Most people will just buy a stock truck and modify it themselves anyways.
>>28961158Women buy/control 80% of new car purchases.
>>28961174so? women love wranglers and off road vehicles, would make even more sense for GM to make those
>>28961178Women dont give a fuck about actual off road though and they especially dont give a fuck it a man has it.A base model doublecab f150 is the exact same to them as a raptor.
>>28961180virgin detectedwomen absolutely fucking COOM their panties to raptors and wranglers. they also love men who drive those since it means they can take them on adventures and anal them deep in the mddle of the woods
>>28961182Post your truck you lying virgin
>>28961178They love Yukons and Escalades more and GM prints money with those.
>>28961158I will never understand why they don't make a ZR2 based SUV to compete in the jeep/bronco market, they already make one for the golems ffs
>>28961194>SUV that sells for $60k>ISV that sells for $300kthey made their choice
>>28961194If an SUV doesn't have solid front axles like a wrangler or LC70 then you might as well get a truck
>>28961211>28961211ifs is actually better for off road performance, solid axle is only better for durability but the military ofc doesnt care about that
>>28961233IFS would only be better for "trophy truck shit". IFS is shit for any serious off-roading. SFA's are far from perfect but they pretty much always beat a IFS setup in a hardcore off-road scenario.
>>28961158GM only copies what proves to be financially successful for other companies. >Ranchero- 1957>El Camino- 1959>Mustang- 1965>Camaro- 1967>Bronco- 1966>Blazer- 1969>Navigator- 1998>Escalade- 1999
>>28961180Wife specifically asked for a raptor. They're completely different looking vehicles. I can tell you're young because you believe the I want a practical down to earth guy in a Prius meme.
>>28961180Yeah they do care about that. Things like raptors are much better than base models. Women love the big off-road chunky tires
>>28961659she asked for a raptor specifically because it's expensive and the name carries a lot of clout. she'll be able to use it as a trophy to show people around her how much purchasing (or more likely financing) power you have. she doesn't understand a thing about it outside of the MSRP, and knows that she's married to some retard that will burn money on whatever she wants.
>>28961629You also forgot the Ford Falcon -> Chevy II. But yeah GM is one of those kids who has a bad habit of copying other people's homework.
>>28961681Also don't forget that chevy fanbois are the biggest faggots in the automotive world.
>>28961677>Blah blah blah she wanted itSo you admit I'm right and you're going ballistic because she's driving a big fuckoff huge V8 powered truck to pick up lattes? She honestly saved money because her final two picks were this vs the Cayenne Turbo which would've been a money hog in maintenance. She's already been through a set of tie rods and a rear tire with this from curbing it so I can't imagine how a low profile tire would handle things.Also wasted money on an iPhone pro every year just like she wanted. Keep crying.
>>28961753Oh, you mistake me, I'm not upset with you, I'm glad I'm not in your shoes. Your life sounds miserable, paying for every whim and fancy of some gash that wastes money and, by your own admission, drives like a retard and has expensive taste to boot. People in your situation have coronaries at 60 because of the constant financial anguish your stupid wives put you in over the course of a marraige. Hope your job that pays for all this isn't stressful too, otherwise you're definitely checking out early. I don't envy you at all.
>>28961820>What women actually want is to live in an apartment with some environmentalist pencil neck geek "investing" the money he saves in gas by bicycling to workKek. Bro every woman wants this and every man wants to give his wife nicer stuff. It's obvious you're still mentally a child which is why you made some strawman about how stressed I was about a car payment.My kids are going to get a Bronco or Wrangler for their sweet 16 because I can btw.
>>28961158This is actually a good discussion topic because it lends itself to the argument that GM is generally incompetent. To me, I sincerely believe that GM never tried to make a Raptor competitor because >1. The Hummer flopping towards the end of the 00's lined up with when Ford released the OG Raptor models in 09. GM was bankrupt around this time and had no interest in trying to enter what they saw as a niche, small market. They already saw the Hummer flop, why would this new 'Raptor' project by Ford be any different?>2. Once it became obvious that the Raptor was a massive success it was too late for Chevy to try to compete. Ram builds a good competitor but the Raptor has a strangehold on the 'high speed off road, luxury performance vehicle' market. Everyone knows what a Raptor is. Only car guys know what a TRX is.To me Ford is consistently the most ambitious of the US auto makers, I mean look at their Ecoboost engines they started working on back in like 2010. RAM is only just now getting into the idea that twin turbo v6s are superior to a v8, 15 years later. Sometimes it hurts Ford (IE the Lightning, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, etc...), but in some cases like the Raptor is allows them to basically own the market.Pic unrelated
>>28961659You should troll her and buy a regular f150 and out raptor stickers on it and see if she can tell the difference
>>28961158GM is retarded and we all know this. >Bring back the Blazer >Its an ugly crossover They had a tremendous opportunity to make another K5 Blazer and a Colorado version (midsize trucks have become huge desu)
>>28961677I’ve had an FC & FD RX7, a BMW M3 and the only vehicles that women actually commented on were my 6spd manual lifted taco and my F-150 Tremor. I didn’t want to believe it but women like trucks. They like off-road trucks. Even the arthoe commies get wet when you move a couch out of their apartment.
>>28962108>e-every woman is a shallow retard like my wife, and if you don't buy them a $100000 pickup truck to rearend people at starbucks with, you're a lib!Seethe. I'm married and own a home and several businesses. The childlike mentaility you're talking about is thinking that there's no way to keep women interested in you if you aren't constantly buying them overly expensive shit. That, or you married an airhead for exactly that reason, idk what's worse. This reads like copium. >y-you just wait, i'll buy goyslop recall mobiles for my kids too, that'll show youlol. lmao even.
>>28962149Ours is naked, no decal. They ride dramatically different and are significantly wider than a regular truck. Even women can tell they're different. Btw they prefer it over diesels as well.>>28962169It's not overly expensive. It doesn't register as a significant expense. It's like my mortgage or electricity bill. I don't sweat it. That's how I know you're larping. Transportation isn't a large part of my budget and I don't spend too much time thinking about it unless some shitty Porsche keeps me at a dealership.All women want nice things. Cope.
>>28961174>80% of new car purchases.Not in the truck segment though.
>>28961174>Women buy/control 80% of new car purchases.Nope, it's around 62%That 80% number gets thrown around but it's actually "women influence 80% of purchases"So it's women bitching about what car they want their man to buy.Doesn't mean dudes cave in 100% of the time.
>>28961629>This dude thinks you can design a completely new car and tool up a factory in 1-2 years.Everyone laugh at this nigga.
>>28962234Yes.Thats exactly what happened.Good job outing yourself as a clueless basement dweller.
>>28962255>Using AI as a source I accept your concession anon.Don't bother replying, you lost I won.That's it.
>>28962258From Hagerty:https://www.hagerty.com/media/automotive-history/first-gen-camaro-1967-69-the-one-that-picked-a-fight/>It was the worst kept secret in Detroit in the summer of 1966. Ever since the arrival of the spectacularly successful Ford Mustang two years earlier, all eyes had turned to Chevrolet and its expected counterattack. Word had gone around that the Bowtie’s answer, the so-called F-car, would be about the same size and price as the Mustang and that it would be christened the Panther. Ford even ginned up a mocking TV ad in which a feline panther unsuccessfully chased a Ford Mustang, and Ford PR reps would quip to any reporter who would listen that Chevy’s blatant knockoff should really be called the Parrot.
>>28962258kek, imagine being dunked on as hard as you just did. COULDN'T BE ME!
>>28962354stfu fake p

>>28962218>Transportation isn't a large part of my budgetThis always amazes me>omg you spend 50 bucks more on gas a month than my 1.3L!!! How do you survive!!!!Imagine being such a waste to society that your financial stability is determined by the fuel mileage of the thing that takes you to your meaningless job....to make enough money....to take you back to your meaningless job.As much as I talk shit on /pol/ about Canada and their medically assisted suicide...maybe theyre onto something
