Haha thanks. What is up with the exterior door handles? This is Supercab, right?
Also, the price is a joke. Are they really charging $20k for the upgraded motor?!

from the back doors to the front it looks nice, but the bed section is horrible. I do like the design of the Roll Bar/Light mount

It would kinda be a waste though for a vehicle like that. Awesome for a work truck though! Mercedes has had their in testing for a long time, but their price tag is over $460,000.

All they had to do to sell these like hot cakes is take a regular raptor and drop in a supercharged V8.

99% of the people that say that still wouldn't buy the Raptor if it came true.

What are we talking here? 8 - 10 mpg? It will never sell as you all know we buy our trucks for the great gas mileage.
