The ZR2 will be closer to the Tacoma TRDs of the world than the Raptor.

The Ford Raptor pricing was leaked. $49k is pretty reasonable. I wonder how the ZR2 will compare.

A Trail Boss is over 40K new. So apparently a ZR2 will be approaching Raptor cost.

The ZR2 will compete.... with the TRD Off Road?

Unless they put the LT1 in the ZR2, I wouldn't expect it to come close to competing with the Raptor in any way.

I'm sure it'll come up short compared to the Raptor. As far as appearances go, it's already behind.

Right from the concept it wasn't supposed to compete with Raptor.

They won't be able to avoid comparisons if the price is similar.

Well, it likely will be compared, just because of price. If the Raptor is only a few grand more but performs better in every metric, who wouldn't go for the Raptor?

Just because they aren't identical doesn't mean they shouldn't be compared.

I agree they will be different but the ZR2 better do something the Raptor can't or it will suffer.
