Raptor Killer? Chevrolet Silverado Jackal May Have What It Takes To Make A Dent In The Performance Truck Market

Chevrolet has never really had a contender in the performance truck segment, one that can rival the Ford F-150 Raptor. There’s still no official product coming from the factory but, thankfully, the folks over at Texas-based PaxPower finally have something to throw in the performance truck wars. It’s called the Jackal and is based on the latest Chevrolet Silverado.

The first thing you notice when you see the pickup is, most likely, the blacked-out exterior where all chrome details are now matte black. The Jackal was first revealed in October last year and now the TFLnow channel on YouTube visits PaxPower to make a detailed walkaround video of the machine.

Looks like an agricultural tractor.

No, Raptor is likely better executed and has a head start. GM will find a way to cut costs that will undermine the effort.

Ford usually executes better than GM though the Explorer and Escape are GM-like duds.

Why does it say "442" on the side? Is it an Oldsmobile?

Nope, it does not look or perform better than the Raptor.

Ford may sometimes execute better - but GM still has the marketing muscle to come out with a competitive product.

It does not have to look "better" than the Raptor(which is subjective to begin with) - much of the changes in these performance trucks are ADD ON pieces to begin with that we are unlikely to really see until near production. And GM has better V-8's to use for performance. Ford is only now seeing problems that the use of Turbo's have added to fray. Would rather have a GM V-8 than a 3.5 liter V-6 - and the V-8 gives bragging rights too.

Not sure GM is into this though
