Or get the 308 hp gas version.
>>16252404
does it come with the fancy suspension and winch?
Looks pretty cool. how much torque does the 4 cylinder have?
>sport truck
so whats sporty about it? looks like absolute dogshit for offroad and roflmao if gm thinks it can hug the tarmac
id rather buy a real 'sports truck'
>>16252436
it has no torque tho

It's funny you say that because this year's Dakar was won by a 3.0L V6 turbodiesel. And I haven't even checked the earlier ones.

and so are diesels
>>16255753
Theoretically good, but I haven't followed the thing in a few years and it's an absolute disgrace to see several entries being trailered from challenge to challenge and then simply blowing up in the sled pull. They should do a Drag Week on Diesel Power Challenge and ban support vehicles.
>>16255825
>>16255829
Agreed.
>>16252404
Not sure what the approach and departure angles are but I think anyone buying the gasser is cono used.
You get the diesel for more grunt crawling around and far superior range. Looks promising to me
>>16255877
>far superior range
yea, a class exclusive 6 mile range
>>16255890
What's confusing about superior range while off road with a diesel? Must not be your hobby which begs the question why you'd even be shutting up this post except to dump on GM. Plenty of reasons for that but this rig isn't one of them from what I can tell
>>16255918
>181 hp
>>16255923
Have you ever wondered why semi trucks "only" have 500 hp but 2500 lbft of torque?
>>16255932
except 500 hp is a lot. i don't have a problem with that.
Americans, how does it feel to know that you're not getting the "original" version of this; the Isuzu D-Max, with its practical 2.5 diesel, 7700lb maximum weight and 7700lb tow rating?
>>16255947
Slower than the 2.7 Ecoboost
into the trash
>7700lb tow rating?
So it's worthless?
>>16255939
It's ain't a lot for 80,000 lbs.
>>16255974
it is. stay btfo gm fag
>>16255947
I'll add; do you guys think there would be a market for these trucks if the chicken tax wasn't a thing, and diesel fuel was priced more similarly to gas?
>>16255923
Smh

Its fucking not, torque is way more important than raw horse power
>>16256009
* for towing
>>16256009
That's the entire fucking point, but the moron keeps droning on about horsepower in a fucking pickup truck.
>>16256007
stay btfo
>>16256009
you're right torque is important.
that's why the f150 has 510 lb ft
stay btfo
diesel a shit
>>16256024
while you can get torque from horse power, things like better differentials, transmissions and other factors can increase torque which is the main requirement for towing especially when accelerating or decelerating you don't want that trailer in control of your truck without the torque especially on hills
diesel fags are getting triggered again.
must suck knowing the ecoboost v6 is superior
why do people care about horsepower numbers in an off road truck? i mean wtf?
i own an 80 series land cruiser and am a huge toyota fanboy but this new offering from gm sounds like an incredible plat form. anyone saying otherwise has never driven off road.
>>16256036
>ecoboost
why don't you just say neutered engine with a turbo
then again turbo doesn't help your torque much at all
>>16256032
>>16256040
is that why it has 510 lb ft???
>>16256038
ignore these retards. diesel fags are triggered they make less power AND less torque
diesel a shit
>>16256043
torque is more important for towing than raw horse power
>>16256026
Stay before is lazy and shows how deep your capable of considering the aspects going on here... which apparently isn't even the complete surface.
>>16256036
i think youre confused my man.
ecoboos v6 is a good engine and its great on road. but everyone who knows anything about offroading knows that diesel is superior in every way. it has much more low end torque which is all that matters.
the zr2 is shaping up to be an incredibly capable off roader out of the box. things like this are rare these days so i think we need to encourage this, not shitpost about meaningless hp numbers.
>>16256045
We've already agreed on that. You don't have to spout more confusing, wrong explainations for it.
>>16256046
You're right. The whole surface is the ecoboost V6 makes more power and torque.
Diesel cuckolds BTFO.
>>16256051
>diesel is superior
it isn't though. it makes less power and torque. are you daft?
>>16256036
Ecoboost is a fine range generally speaking but your ignoranceor fanboism is glaring.
>>16256044
lol
overall numbers are mostly meaningless in an offroad context you fucking retard.
it matters where the torque is, and it needs to be at the bottom end. diesel is superior for offroading this is undeniable fact man.
>>16256055
>it isn't though. it makes less power and torque. are you daft?
please see>>16256059
you need to at least have a basic understanding about what youre talking about before blantantly shitposting about it.
you are embarrassing yourself.
>>16256055
>it isn't though. it makes less power and torque. are you daft?
better low end torque faggot
you can make more torque with a transmission ratio swap
>>16256057
not an argument
>>16256059
see
>>16255675
the ecoboost v6 delivers max torque at 2500 rpm.
I'M LOVING THIS DAMAGE CONTROL FROM DIESEL FAGS.
>>16256064
>better low end torque
it doesn't tho.
the ecoboost has more low end torque. keep up the damage control.
A 3.5L engine in a full size truck makes slightly more torque than a 2.8L engine in a much lighter mid size truck, stop the presses!
>>16256055
Well it sucks down a lot more fuel the moment you ask it to do even stoichiometric. It's pretty plain you don't understand the basics. My education of you is complete when you look up the multi-syllable word and it's relation to the subject. God damn, there is a lot of stupid-but-confident on this board...
>>16256077
>140 lb ft is "slightly more"

gm is trash. stay mad.
>>16256066
did you even read your own image? look at the other fucking half of it you total retard.
the diesel engine delivers the exact same amount of torque at a LOWER rpm
jesus christ how are you this dense
ITT: a bunch of retards think more power is better
>>16256089
The Raptor makes 510 lb ft of torque you illiterate retard. And the base V6 makes 30 more lb ft. Nice job ignoring the fact that it makes more than 100 more HP too.
>>16256092
the fact that horsepower numbers are even seriously being discussed in a truck thread goes to show you how retarded the busriders here are

no what does that even have to do with anything.
the raptor is a great desert runner, thats it.
put it on any serious trail with actual obstacles and it will get blown away but any other truck with simple mods, diesel or not.
you are very confused and delusional.

I am not the one in need of more education on the subject at hand. I am not the one spreading an uninformed opinion (one so badly clueless I'd be embarrassed to have it attributed to my IP let alone my name).
You have a choice here my man: you can get listed or use the Internet connection you have to leverage knowledge freely available to make sure you don't come off as an aggressive, uninformed cunt in the (far off) future. I gave you the clue word of stoichiometric relative to this thread and diesel vs Ecoboost gasser. Take that shit and make the informed points while taking the correct positions next time around

It has a garbage tow rating anyway because of its ruined muh-prerunner suspension.
>>16256155
a competitor to what? diesel engines? you arent even making sense.
>the raptor gets btfo on desert trails
thats also not even what i said your reading comprehension is beyond repair. i said the raptor is great on desert runs - i.e. the open desert. however, if you put it on a trail in the forest it would get shit on.
this is not debatable man this is 101, im sorry you dont regularly off road but dont talk about it like you do.

in what way? the raptor is a full size pick up for doing desert runs at high speeds. the zr2 is a mid size made for traversing trails in the woods. its closer competitor would be the tacoma.

Is it the britfags making fun of the 180hp? Because the last time I checked 180hp there was classified as a supercar...
