Is Chevrolet Considering a Raptor Fighter?

Is Chevrolet considering taking on the new 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor high-performance off-road pickup? It appears they're at least thinking about it.

In a GM video posted on YouTube (see the :06 second mark), asking viewers to vote for their favorite Camaro graphics package for SEMA, a rendering of a 'Chevrolet Silverado Baja Off-Road Version' can be seen behind Adam Barry, Lead Creative Designer, GM Accessory Studio. The pickup features a high stance and six-spoke wheels that take us back in time to the 1988-98 four-wheel drive Chevrolet C/K.

We're eager to learn if this truck will be as capable as a Raptor or more like the Mopar Underground's Big Red Dodge Ram 1500 wheeler. Our sources say the truck is headed to SEMA. We'll be there too.

I don't know about this... Seems like GM is trying to copy and trying to play catch-up I guess. As for all the hype this new raptor has GM will be hard pressed to be sucessful at this attempt! The amount of money they're spending to design this vehical should be used to inject some life into their other vehicals!! I mean GM has kind of fallin off as far as their trucks go. 20 years ago you could beat a GM truck and not I won't look at anything newer a 99... GM really needs a shot in the arm for their trucks... The Camaro and the Vette and the Cobalt SS and other cars are great and proven sellers and proven in their own habitats! However their trucks are beaten in almost every catagory... Strenght comfort everything! They need to focus on what they've got not what everyone else has!! IMO
