It was a mopar vehicle, and if you had the cash theyd make you one, but to mass produce it like a raptor, tyey wouldve made no sales. And come on, nothing beats a ford racing 6.2, especially one thats supercharged, I drove the raptor we have at work and have complete confidence it would of taken my jetta
Edit. Actually mopar sells all the components to turn an 09 and up into a ram runner, the total cost would be right aroud 65k a raptor is about 52k

Yea the chevy one is supercharged too fox shocks but better tires imo general vs bfg, true beadlocks, rigid led fog and light bar, looks pretty sick, and shelby just came out with their raptor version. But with anything you can build something better and prob cheaper then build brand new.

Eh chevy will always suck, but im a ford guy and for dessert running id build a ramrunner before I bought a raptor, only because thats what it was built for, ford had to make rhe raptor have good road manners. That being said id build a custom runner with a turbo 351m (400) for almost half the price
And the chevy is just like the ram runner, all parts that you come from the dealer, id still take the bfgs though. Dodge and chevy will allow more customization because they will be built by the customer, the raptor is pretty much what ford does and leaves the rest of the modding to aftermarket
What all these companies should be doing is turning there small trucks into the off road kings. The ranger, dakota, tacoma, and colorado would be way better

Not sure.
I don't believe it was ever sold as a complete factory vehicle, just as a kit.
In the review I saw, they said the Craptor was better on road only. They said the ram runner was more off-road oriented.
Actually, the newer Craptors can be had with factory bead locks. They don't come with the real lock ring, just a beauty ring. The real lock ring has to be bought after the fact and the outer bead flipped to the outside.

And come on, its already hard enough to find shirts, and stickers with cherokees and not wranglers, imagine looking for a cheromanchee

Yeah thats what I meant, they will do the kit for you at the dealer though, Id take a power wagon over that though. I like the Raptor the most out of all of them as far as styling, and I think I saw that same video review they said the ram runner had it beat in big deep wops, but the raptor 4wd had more power to pull though things, either way I wouldnt use any of them to do what we do and probably would never even consider purchasing one, Now if they put out a solid axel Ranger on 37s, with the 5.0 or eco boost(twin turbo) Id get one in each color haha
I so wanted to do that, but been thinking unless I have a two door, it doesnt really open up enough bed space to be worth it. Id rather pick up a MJ and drop all my stuff into it.

Yeah thats a good, plan, but I like need all my seats, when I saw a guy from nm offroad who did it, his 33 spare couldnt lay down in the bed space, he had to make a custom tailgate for it.
