@Full Trucker to the white courtesy phone in an ancient VW Beetle please :D
Right? These motherscratchers talking about “I wouldn’t Baja in that...” pffft. Gimme any goram vehicle 50 years newer with twice the wheelbase, twice the track width, twice the suspension, and ten times the ponies and I’ll Baja the ever living shit out of it. And power steering? Don’t get me started.

:D

»I worked this commercial two weeks ago of new Raptor that was released today. This was one of eight jumps and Stock Raptor drove away. »

That looks like an issue to me.

I would TRY for sure, but my expectations would be at appropriate levels for my chances of success.

With an attrition rate well over 50% most years across all classes including TTs, this is a SMRT and reasonable expectation. Let me know when you acquire said Raptor or trophy truck, I'm a helluva co-driver.

Real Porsche Price© (RPP) is 1.5 x base price. This is without the extravagant options, just the normal ones that most people want, like floormats, etc.
Same for completable type truck though - King's Ranch, for example

Golf R Estate testing. If that trailer hitch makes it to the produciton version I might be tempted. Not a fan of the steep rear window, I prefer my Golfs boxy and spacious.

A compact unibody pickup truck with a non-retarded drivetrain? I guess that will work.
Have you seen Hyundai's new variable valve geometry set up? It's pretty rad, variable timing and duration.

Not sure which vehicle will get it first.

EDIT- I may have asked/mentioned it before, my memory sucks.

I wasn't aware of it. I'm always a little hesitant over weird engine technology. Infiniti's variable compression engine is a huge technological masterpiece that doesn't really improve efficiency nor power compared to normal stuff and especially to hybrid or electrics... My alfa has a SOHC with some sort of weird valve setup, but that car is such a piece of shit that I have no doubt they'll all explode in 10 years.

I really like what hyundai/kia are doing in terms of overall quality and are putting together some awesome vehicles...this one could be great for a truck that doesn't mind commuting.
