You are sooo right. I'm told don't expect better than 13 or 14 MPG. It only has 32 miles on the clock, Cant wait till the streets around here clean up so I can get out and enjoy it. Yes, it will be treated as a Corvette. And yes, I have a problem.

Hellova problem, hellova problem.
I drive a Trailblazer LS w/ sport/trailering pkg & 'big' V6.
Love the drive, heavily optioned but whadda gas guzzler.
A LS7 is so much better, 'til flogged.
While it's a beauty to behold I'd have guessed it's fate, otherwise.
Thought it'd be pressed into duty around the beautiful spread. Plowing. Brush p/u. Towing trailer w/ skid loader. Perfect vehicle for real HD work.
But it's also nice to polish/drive/enjoy, too.
What a choice.

Well I have been investigating these trucks for a long time including the mighty raptor. I will say the power wagon checks off more boxes for capability than raptor. I do like the 0 to 60 times for raptor versus the 7700 pound power wagon, but for speed, that’s why I have the Corvette.
Also, option for option I would’ve been 20 to $25,000 more dollars for the raptor. Let alone the dealers are asking 5000 over invoice.
Don’t take my word for it, check out the below link. Actually there are some pretty good videos and scenery of the Canadian countryside as these trucks go head to head.
