I wonder how much the optional "ROOTR Package" is. I hear it comes with a reinforced bumper, full brush guard, extra lighting to blind your prey...er, fellow motorists, and a crosshair hood ornament. How cool is that? I'm seriously considering trading in the fiddy for this 'mo'fo. Suck this tailpipe Sierra Club!!!

[i]On the face of it, it just seem ill-proportionate... I kinda expected something like 450 for HP and 600 for torque... [/B]
Even 18-wheelers typically only have around 400HP, but 1200 lb-ft. (or more) of torque, to move around 80,000 lbs.

Yea, 275-550 is the HP range for most big trucks. The FL has 300hp. But when you drive one with the Allison 6 speed auto (not the little one Chevy has) you will fall in love with the power of the truck. Without a load, 4 rear tires are barely enough to get power to the ground from a sit still.
