I'll stick to my Silverado with a three inch lift..which is there to clear brush at some sites. Had it for five years. It's my baby. May go GNC next. Not sure. Staying away from Dodge had nothing but issues when I've gotten them. The trucks in Clearwater I have basic arse Ford rangers. Eventually I'll upgrade those but isn't in the budget for now.

It’s clearly an extended version of the new Silverado

ETA: maybe not extended, but still the Silverado body.

Christ dude, soon as I saw it I knew it was a converted Chevy...

in all fairness they came out with the Ford version first, I believe. So if he is going off his past memory it was a ford, but the op is clearly the chevy version

This truck is an oddity, anyone that NEEDS that vehicle, isn't going to spend that much on something that is going to be abused the way a vehicle with those capabilities would be abused by someone who actually needed said vehicle, but plenty of folks who will NEVER use it to its full potential will buy one anyway.

I don’t need a six wheeled truck either but don’t try to justify why you wouldn’t buy it or what you’d rather have to a bunch of strangers. Ain’t nobody in this thread could afford it anyway.


Truth. I can’t afford it and I don’t like the 6 wheels anyway. I’d be happy with a stock Raptor.

It's already got 37" tires. Not many people put bigger tires than that on trucks anyway.

and a mclaren costs less to own?

The first of which was the clutch, which had a lifespan of just three years irregardless of how far you drove the F1.

Doing the sums, Weiner worked out that the McLaren would cost him $50,000 a year to maintain even if he never turned over the engine. He only used the car to do the school run (such is the life of a multi-millionaire), but his first service bill was a whopping $250,000.

A new set of tyres? $50,000. A new fuel cell? $110,000. As Weiner explains, it wasn't simply the cost of the parts that was driving up the bill – it was the enormous expense it took to organise and deliver the car to qualified McLaren mechanics.

"Then the fire extinguisher expired. To replace that, that was $800 for a fire extinguisher I could literally go to Walmart and buy," Weiner told VINwiki.

"This kind of thing went on and on and on. After about a year I said to myself 'I don't know if I want to be upside-down in this car' and I sold it.

The F1 is possibly the greatest car ever built. It is a barely street legal race car.

Please don't try to justify an American Hot Rod shop kit car maintenance with something with actual F1 technology and race pedigree.

Not a car guy. Never heard of this dude before this thread. It took me all of 2 minutes of reading his own words to recognize what a slimy POS he is. You should seriously examine the way you choose your friends if you are being serious.

Because of his own words on it. Correct. Congrats on being shady though.
