510 isn't bad but 925 from the 6.7 powerstroke diesel is better!

If you don't drive downtown, I'd say go for it. It's going to be an awesome truck!

Loving our 6.2 Silverado. Had SUVs for years but living in a rural area the truck is WAY handier. With that kind of power in a 1/2 ton I barely feel the boat or snowmobile trailer back there.

If you aren't going to use it for its designed purpose, offroad, then I think it's a waste. I'd buy the new Ridgeline instead.

Love our GMC Denali for work truck!

Raptor is more about performance than towing payload, just depends on what you will be using the truck for. Horrible MPG though

I second the Denali Hd it's a great truck. With that being said if the Raptor was out earlier in the year I would have really considered it as well before we bought our Denali

Is that because it's not British and poorly built, unreliable with amongst the worst depreciation curve in the automotive industry ? j/k
