Getting into the Raptor market. Wonder how outrageously priced it will be. Nice looking truck and I'm a Ford guy.

Article mentions $50,000usd... That is a lot for a bloated S10. With you on getting a Raptor.

Ugly grilles
What the hell is going on with truck grilles these days. Damn is that front end ugly! Same with the new 2020 Silverado HD.

I'm really starting to dislike the new look of vehicles, particularly trucks. The new Ford is ugly. The new chevs are ugly. The new toyotas are ugly.
Is it just me or anyone else feeling this way?

I’m not crazy about the length of it as well....so use to our wrangler I guess that the extra length behind the rear wheels looks strange.

Lol whatever. Although I do have to admit with all these new luxuries there is a lot more to go wrong.
If something breaks on one of my old hot rods there's a pretty good chance I can fix it on the side of the road.

Nice to see factory Rock Sliders and Armor Plating underneath. Front and rear dif selectable lockers would be a good option.

I bought a ZR2 with the baby max last March. Was playing in the snow exercising the lockers just to see the advantages/limitations and get some learning experience using them. Complete different scenario than locking up in dirt but then it wasn't really any different from what I expected. I bought the ZR2 because I was tired of waiting for a TWO door jeep truck. Think I made a good choice. But after being with out a jeep for 4 months I had to buy another TJ. Had jeeps for almost 50 years so kinda missed not having one or three around.

I have the ZR2 2.8 duramax and I have no regrets. Great on fuel and with the right driver you can get into a lot of places
I do wish Chevy put a little more of a lift

Just bought a new ford to replace my 2009 f-150, I about puked when I saw the front end... ugly ugly ugly. But it drove well and work gave me a 25% discount so I bought it.

I dunno I have a new f150 and really like the front end. Granted I do agree that half the f150 grills look like the truck is frowning but not mine! I think every new generation truck reveal for the past 20 years I’ve said looks ugly initially, then as you see them more and more you get used to it and they grow on you.... except chevys theyve always been ugly! Lol

Yep 2 looks like the truck is frowning. My truck has the grill in the 1st picture with the same rims. Love that truck!

I like the profile and lines of the Bison. Looks like it would drive in places I wouldn't be driving. I like chevs with fords a close second. Just don't like the prices to buy a new truck or to fix one.
I'd sooner get and old 60's or 70's 4x4 Chev Suburban or 58 Apache and spend 50k restoring it. No computerized chips.
Or a old highway boat like this custom build.
