Hey all of you Raptor dykes need to look at the New Shelby Off Road Truck. I've been seeing these on transport trailers going all across the US heading to dealerships everywhere and I gotta say the Raptor can't hold a match to the new Shelby Off Road Sport Truck.
Does anybody know about this new Super Truck ?

The Shelby pushing 700+HP and all options just under the $100k button. IMO not the best bang for the buck. Several conversion company's in Texas can add bolt on Hp and mods for a lot less then the $40k up charge.

I run an F350 crew 4x4 with a V10 as a daily driver. Fits my needs, tows up to about 14k. Fuel mileage isn't great apx 10 mpg city 13 hwy but that isn't what I bought it for.


I am not a Dodge fan but I did drive an Eco diesel dodge 1/2 ton 4x4 crew for about a week. Impressed me enough to do some research on it.

OOPS I just saw the post saying you already made a choice.........

I'm a Silverado guy for about 20 years. My brother has driven F-150s for just as long. We each made our choices based on the way the truck fits us as far as seating position, steering column, controls, ability to see out, etc.
My current Silverado is bordering on being too tall. It's not a 4x4 either. It's definitely taller than my 2000 model. My brother's F-150 is even taller and it's a little hard for me to get in it. That's another part of finding the one that fits best.
We both drive our trucks as regular daily transportation with a little bit of light hauling. Neither of us do any towing. For this usage, I don't think any current brand/model is significantly "better" than the rest.
After driving something for so long that feels as long and wide as a school bus, I'm thinking my next vehicle will be a small or mid-size SUV. I still want something that's tall enough I don't feel like I'm sitting in a hole, but it needs to be easier to maneuver through the parking garage at work.

They are the same mechanically but they do have a few differences in features/options. The interior and exterior look slightly different. When I got my Silverado, I picked it over the Sierra because Huffines Chevy had better pricing than Sewell GMC

I'm friends with many auto professionals. Before I bought my first truck, I asked all of them which to buy. Almost all of them strongly recommended Toyota based on dependability. They were 100% right. My latest truck is a Tundra. I've put about 100k miles on it over 3 years, while heavy loading or hauling something on a near daily basis. Never had any problems with it. Purchase price was very competitive too.

Toyota trucks are also the primary trucks used by the military of many nations (including US) in third world battlefields. Unfortunately, its also the primary of trucks of terror groups.

Regardless, this is what I'd recommend to my friends and family. Hope this helps.
