Reaper is built by Lingenfelter and sold through Chevy dealerships - I don't believe GM had much to do with it's development at all.

The Ram Rebel is just an offroad trim. Yes it has similar aesthetics at a Raptor, but it's not necessarily a Raptor competitor. The Ram Runner kit offered through Mopar is the Raptor competitor - transforms the Ram into a true pre-runner truck.

The Titan Warrior is a concept, will likely never see production.

Toyota released the TRD Pro series, I'd say it slots inbetween the Raptor and Rebel. Not as extreme as a Raptor, but more capable than the Rebel.

I see it still has Nissan's trademark tiny steering wheel.

Why have that much torque in a relatively small truck? You still need frame and brakes to go with the engine

Saying the Ford 6.7 is terrible and the Cummins is great is crazy


I would never buy a Ford diesel after having seen what happened with the Powerstrokes in our company vehicles and the immense amount of downtime and repairs they required. They've started switching to Cummins and Duramax powered trucks...both of which are far less problematic and cheaper to run.

It isn't just the company vehicles either. The degree of problems, amount of down time, and costs of repairs that I've seen private, non-commercial diesel Ford truck owners just put up with are astounding.

Aren't you the OB poster that is getting a Powerstroke 6.7 replaced under warranty this week?

Most likely not a competitor for 3/4 ton trucks. More like a half ton rig with a powerful new diesel.

I think it has potential of being a high margin niche product for Nissan and may help generate buzz around their gas powered Titan.
