Everything is Line-X

Her heart is currently set on a Rocky Ridge Stealth XL. I had no idea you could buy a pre-assembled bro truck these days. Can you think of a better way to spend $70,000?

One of my dealers has a used one of these in red, I laughed at the notion of putting a sticker that says “stealth” on something that looks like that. But if she really wants one I imagine they’d give her a nice buy.

It’s clean, ask for Frank and tell em B sent ya.

Someone I know almost went this route. He decided against it and was going for a Raptor when he decided that his dog looked big in the Raptor. So he bought an F250 King Ranch. No I don’t understand how a Raptor was too small for a 60 pound dog.

If she must have a lifted truck, DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE. They use cheap parts. Buy a stock truck, get it good lift, and install it a local shop. It will cost a lot less money.

Go with the AEV option, either in 1500 or 2500 trim. Pretty much everything about them is a bajillion times better than a Rocky Ridge.

The K2? It’s a package-deal bro truck. She is all about aggressive looks for her truck. Her current Silverado has a small lift and leveling kit, and bro wheels so the K2 is right up her alley. The Stealth XL was her pick for the 6" lift and winch-ready front bumper.
