Raptors are sold out in my area. Want a new one? Not a chance even if you want to order one.

Those came to mind. But I only jest. Besides if one wanted to buy a "Lexus" pickup they have the Tundra available. Funniest thing I've seen is when my wife's friend get out of hers. She's 5'3". Such a huge truck for a little lady. Lol.

Chevy has a Raptor competitor now.....the Reaper, though it is not a stock factory package. It is a conversion sold through Chevy dealerships.

Oh, yes, not to get into stereotypes, but small petite females (and some small adult males too, for that matter) sometimes do love big hefty vehicles with plenty of metal surrounding them, even if they get lousy mileage. It gives them a sense of security in an accident.

(And that's one reason why truck-makers provide running-boards LOL)

I doubt I'd be picking up any women in my truck. Thankfully it has its place to haul trash, construction materials, and park in janky parts of town on the street. Its a tool, not a status symbol in my book, so as far as tools go, its cheap and gets the job done. Granted if I needed to haul/tow more stuff, I would invest in a better tool, but it serves my needs and never lets me down.



And yes that picture was taken 4 years ago. If you look closely the front bumper is held on with extension cord. That extension cord is still holding lol

Now that's the right attitude.
