Answering the Raptor
For bowtie pickup enthusiasts waiting for an answer to the Ford F-150 Raptor high-performance truck, the long wait is finally over as high-performance tuner Lingenfelter has just announced that a performance off-road edition of the 2014 Chevy Silverado pickup is now available.
Those select dealers will be selling the Reaper – the result of a partnership between Lingenfelter Performance Engineering and Southern Comfort Automotive.
"The Reaper blends Lingenfelter's legendary performance engine tuning and suspension know-how with Southern Comfort Automotive's expertise in custom styling for a truly unique and exciting vehicle," said Mike Copeland, vice president of operations, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering.
Available in red, white, gray or black, standard features include a three-inch lift, long-travel off-road suspension, Fox Racing shocks, 20-inch Reaper wheels mounted on General Grabber LT tires and a Lingenfelter performance exhaust system.
Exterior modifications include a custom hood and grille, high-clearance front bumper, wide-body fender flares, a wheel- to-wheel rock guard with removable side steps and the requisite exterior Reaper badges. Lighting accoutrements include LED driving lights, side front fender marker lights and an integrated off-road flood light system.
Inside, Reaper embroidery abounds, along with special door panel accents, a gauge package and an auxiliary switch panel to handle the plethora of additional lights as well as accessory upgrades.
Speaking of upgrades, those include a Magnuson TSV1900 Supercharged 5.3L or 6.2L engine, 17-inch beadlock off-road wheels, more exterior Reaper graphics and a frozen matte paint finish.
