Chevy 6.0 Super Ike Gauntlet

At $44K, I think it's an impressive package. It's not stripped and gives you a lot of hardware for the money. To get a strong engine, large cab, 4WD and reasonable amenities is pretty good for that amount. You cold easily pay 25% more than that for a blingy Ford or Dodge 1/2T.
If the operator knows how to hold a gear and doesn't just hold it floor-boarded on hills, it would provide decent performance on hills and anyplace else.
