I'm amazed GM hasn't gotten on this.

Lingenfelter and Southern Comfort Automotive have teamed up to develop the Chevrolet Silverado Reaper. Since GM has not put fourth an official product yet - much to the dismay of GMC and Chevrolet truck fans – this seems like a no-brainer for these companies who specialize in high performance customization.


The Reaper is a more attractive, more aggressive and certainly more powerful Silverado which will aim to “reap” sales from the Ford SVP Raptor. The front end has been modified with a unique grille and fascia. The high clearance front bumper, aluminum skid plates, Fox Racing suspension, 20-inch wheels and 33-inch off-road tires will give it the needed tools to compete with the Raptor.


Under the hood, the 5.3-litre V8 has been supercharged to bring output from 355 to 475 horsepower. The engine breathes though a Corsa exhaust system. For comparison, the 6.2-litre V8 in the SVT Raptor generates 411 horses.


The Chevrolet Silverado Reaper will be available in the United States and distributed by handpicked dealers.

I see raptors on a weekly basis. I've never seen a mopar ram runner out and about. I seriously doubt I'll ever see a reaper. It's ugly and looks half assed.

I'm a big truck fan but I don't see the appeal in this one.
 
Laite que le criss.

Probably because the RamRunner is not offered as a turn key truck directly from the factory. You need to buy a Ram and the RamRunner kit form Mopar then have it installed. Most people don't want to deal with this hassle.

And seriously, the RamRunner is not as ''road-friendly'' as the Raptor.
 
I don't know how you would call this an off-road truck on the same par as the Raptor

If i'm not mistaken the Raptor has a different frame than the standard F150, it's not just a F150 with a bunch of bolt on parts like this is.

I'd take a Raptor instead...

If you wanted a turn key ram runner, I see no reason your local dealer wouldn't be able to set it up for you. It's not like they'd send you home with a bunch of parts, lousy instructions and tell you to figure it out because they really don't feel like charging you good money to install it all.

I don't see this as being much different. Lingenfelter buys a crew cab 5.3, from gm, ruins it with their tacky upgrades and then the dealer tries to sell it to you with a mark up.

It hasnt worked for ram, I don't see it working for these guys

Si tout les moulures chrome et le grillage surais peinturé noir il serais 1000000000000 fois plus beau en partant,surtout d'une autre couleur aussi que rouge!
 
Le Raptor est aussi laid, la mega grille de plastique est pas mieux. Parcontre j'aime les specs plus technique.

Mais coté look le RamRunner l'emporte haut la main
