It's alright, seems like they just slapped it together to go up against the Raptor. I'm betting if produced as it sits there it'll be way more money than the Ford as well. The Ford looked like more of a serious off road package too with the long travel suspension, wider body and such, whereas the chevy, though i didn't read much about the suspension, just looks like a lift and a fat motor. a real badass motor.

Yep. Lift kit, custom paint/body work, KILLER engine. Problem is, a "lift kit" will not perform off-road like that Ford's suspension. That particular truck was completely engineered for abuse off-road. Sadly, the Chevy with a "lift kit" would quickly crumble if subjected to the same abuse.
To me, it's a FAIL. Sorry Chevrolet.
