Thats not bad, downright quick....but I still don't get the point of "fast" trucks, the brake and suspension are in no way, shape or form designed to cope with any kind of "fun".

Jesus Christ...

Should expect to see tons of these in the Vancouver suburb of Langley in the next year. Not so much in Edmonton because too small and can't roll coal?

2wd trucks around here are very rare....also a shortbox, regular cab is kind of useless unless you are a single guy.

It's still a cool truck, and if I was a single guy with a bit of money to burn (feeding that Hemi isn't cheap) and an active lifestyle (mountain biking) I'd consider buying one.

if i was going a 4x2 reg cab truck, i'd go more base and get it more customized to what i want... i have three on the lot right now... selling em for 20500... you get the 395hp, but the rest of the truck is pretty darn basic. i love seeing young guys coming in looking at them... not the most practical, but more practical than many rwd 350+hp vehicles.

had a guy on saturday looking to trade his 370z for one... be a bit different.

If I was looking at a regular cab pickup, it would be a long box 4x4. For me that is the ultimate truck, big box so you can put whatever you want with the gate closed but not big enough as to where you need pilot cars to maneuver around parking lots.

Agreed, if you want to go fast get a car.

Pfffftt....I see your little girlie man Hemi and I raise you 440 hp and 860lb-ft of torque....and its red...like a Ferrari

Lower, some Mickey Thompson slicks on thd rear, traction bars and a few Banks engineering parts and that thing will put the hurt on some really fast cars. A fast diesel truck is amazing to watch run down the 1/4 mile....like watching a rhino run a 10 sec 100m sprint

Those trucks are like unicorns.  I used to live at the track and would see one of those 1-2 per season.  And it's more than a few Banks parts.  You need propane injection.

And never did I see them run 10s. (in person).

At the August blackout run by the NADP, trucks running 10s isnt that rare. Also, how many cars run 10s??

I'm saying specifically DIESEL trucks.  Very rare to see a fast one here.  I see more fast Lightnings (and the odd Chevy 454 SS) run faster than diesels.

TONS of cars here runs 10s.  You have to remember...one of my home tracks was 20 minutes from Detroit, the Motor City.

I read starting Q1 2015 GM will offer the 6.2 in regular cab trucks. Those are going to be quick little devils with that motor.
