Gritdog, all of this is cracking me up. Note the F350 Tremor in my signature. It's my husband's "grocery getter". He's hauled some tile in it for our basement remodel but that's about it. It could tow the camper if needed, but that's what the dually is for. My own vehicle is an Explorer ST :) We like nice trucks/cars and have the money so why not. I should add that my neighborhood is full of super nice trucks and pricey SUV's (Expeditions, Yukons, Escalades). So clearly people are buying them.
Totally, and I agree with you 100%. The Tremors are really cool looking trucks too. And that's what it boils down to. He!!, the first few years sales of them would probably go mostly to the adventurous mall crawler types. Then get passed down to the group that needs to haul their brood and pull the new camper up the Ike.
I believe, if GM took a Burb or Ford an Expe Xl, put it on a 3/4 ton chassis, slapped some 35" BFG mudders, lift, "skid plates", and some I don't know, spend 15 minutes looking through a Jeep accessory catalog and make the parts full size, and call it the "TRAIL KING" or some dumb sht, there'd be a line down the block and around the corner Nut to Butt, yuppy, fake man-bun wearing, wanna be Overlander, soccer Dads slapping each other with their man purses to get ahead in line and buy one before they ran out.
Name the colors like Moab mist (blue), Seal Team Green, Missoula Mud Metallic and .50Cal Gray and half the guys would squirt in their pants just thinking about buying one!
GM should hire me for marketing.....lol.
