It seems Ford pushed the right buttons of GM and Toyota with the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as now both GM and Toyota have come up with models (in GM's case a concept) to combat the Raptor. Now GM has chosen the Silverado while Toyota went for the Tacoma.

The Silverado ZR2 comes with but not limited to:

The Silverado ZR2 is based on an extended cab/short box body. The custom bodywork includes carbon fiber fender flares that stretch outward to cover the 35-inch-tall Goodyear Wrangler off-road tires and widened stance. Much of the truck’s body is made of carbon fiber, including the front fenders, extractor-style hood, rocker extensions and tailgate, which features large, debossed CHEVROLET lettering as a nod to Chevy trucks of the past...... A large, more prominent grille is also part of the package and is a vision of what designers would like to see in a production or accessory part. It is very functional, feeding cool air to the 550-horsepower LS supercharged crate engine from GM Performance Parts.



The Tacoma ATG comes with but not limited to:

In addition to being the ultimate gaming vehicle the Tacoma ATG also needed to be able to transport outdoor enthusiasts to their favorite remote locations. Toyota Racing Development (TRD) contributed to the project with the installation of its 304 horsepower 4.0-liter Supercharger to increase vehicle torque and better traverse rugged landscape.  TRD 16-inch bead lock wheels with BF Goodrich LT295/75R16 All-Terrain T/A tires were added to improve off-road stability and increase traction.



Not I'm not going to lie...one truck seems to have big tires while the other seems to have big screens. Not sure how they think this will combat the Ford Raptor but what do you guys think....should Ford be scarred???
