exactly... although I'd like some of the nicety's (however that's spelled) that come from the XLT package.

I hope that by the next time I buy a truck things will have come full circle and RCSB trucks will be back in vogue, then it will be easier to convince my wife we don't need the extra seats!

IMO - nothing looks more like a TRUCK truck than a RCSB of any brand.

I can back this up with more seat of my pants testing.

A tuned 6.2 is a real beast. Nothing like stock.


I hope they do put the 6.2 in the GT500 and add go fast parts. I would be willing to convert mine!!

A Supercharged 6.2 in AWD sounds like fun to me, but not to my tires

But damn, if they make a SC'd 6.2 GT500. That would be tempting to own. That should be able to put out somewhere around 625+ HP.

Screw the RCSB guys! I still for the life of me, don't understand why they don't offer the 6.2 in the SCrew, 6.5' bed trucks. We're the ones who need it the most. The 5.0 with a blower would suit the RCSB trucks best I think, with the higher redline.
