I like Ford's RC with the extra window. They were like, "Ok, we'll make a RC, but we have to make it look like an EC."

trucks are becoming more family now so the extra space is a must. rcsb will die out in the future.sadly to say but will cause of the market. yes ideally a RCSB muscle would be fun factor in any bodystyle. but insurance for many would go thru the roof. how about a 5.3 AWD RCSB......... the rebirth of the sy

I've been saying that for awhile. Sy/Ty's are almost old enough to where you could do a retro version with the Canyon. An AWD turbo I5 or an LS3 or something. Mmmm...daddy likey. I'm not sure how they could pull off a Ty though since they killed the Blazer, and a TB is too big.

i def like brandons, his is SPOTLESS, very clean truck... and it helps that hes my buddy

but the fact that they are a 4.3 just doesnt impress me... i know you can build them to be quick and ****, i personally would have just rather seen a fuel injected 350 in them. this motor had alreayd been out for about 3yrs so they worked alot of kinks outta them, i dont understand why they didnt just throw that wit a turbo in it... o well

THE 5.3 OPTION IS GONNA BE NICE... GRANTED THE TRUCKS ARENT LIGHT ON THEIR FEET, BUT THEN AGAIN HOW MANY OF YOU ARE GONNA DRIVE THEM STOCK FOR VERY LONG.... AND LETS FACE IT WITH A 5.3 IN IT... ITS GONNA HAVE EVERYTHING THERE FOR AN EASY 6.2 SWAP


AND YOU GUYS THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY WHEN I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE LSX BASED CANYON/COLORADO THEY WERE BUILDING WHILE I WAS THERE

Because the Sy's were the fastest 0-60 vehicle at the time even with a V6. If they put a turbo V8 in it people would've killed themselves. I don't think the General had an OD tranny that would hold up to it either.
