I’d imagine GM has to get into this segment now. Late to the party though. 

People laugh at the idea of a fast truck. In 1979 the fastest domestic production vehicle was the little red express truck. My brother bought one new. It runs high 10s now. He dials it back so he doesn’t have to have roll bar. I know people who spend thousands to make their truck to ride and handle like a car. Different strokes. GM used to lead the pack. Not so much now.

Don't forget about the Syclone, when GM literally had someone with balls in charge!

 

I expect nothing but second hand vendors to take customer bought cars and over price packages to build what gm should be building at their factories!

 

FCA and Ford laughing at GM, but but but we have a 1000 hp Hummer that knowing GM will use your regular standard 1500 truck suspension lol, no one wanted a electric hummer, they did want a off road 4x4 silverado/sierra Raptor fighter and a 2wd/awd street spec silverado/sierra package. And of course crickets from GM!

Dodge just got in the game with  a 700hp half ton. This might get interesting!

According to Dodge the new 2021 TRX Launch Limited Edition of 702 trucks sold out in 3 hours! Pictures and video look pretty good 6.2L Hemi W/Twin Screw Supercharger!! AND I bet the Sticker Price is WAY more than that of the Raptor!!

They cost in the 90-95k range, the Harley sticker edition Sierra that was posted up here a few weeks ago cost the same to give a comparison of how laughable gm is right now compared to Ford and FCA!

Yeah but that's because it says "Harley Davidson".  HD makes more money on the branding and merch than they do their motorcycles.  A simple button up shirt with the HD logo on it is like $70-$100.

They def need to have something that puts the raptor to shame

Ha, I'd be happy if they could produce one that doesn't shift like a POS first, then have a company that stood behind what they produce with a real solution to crappy engineering on a 50k model first, then after that they could step into/ up to racing?

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
