Uhg I'm not a fan of the reapers at all! I drove one 4 or 5 years ago when they first came out. It had a 5.3 with a magnusson or whipple super charger and the axle wrap/wheel hop was terrible! Was decently quick for what it was but the styling is awful IMO.

Reaper truck...... Is it me, or,..... Something was missed, 'style-wise' about the headlight assy they used?
The weird space between the grill & headlight..... The space makes the interesting shape of the grill look 'aftermarket'.

I don’t like the look very much but if you add a Baja style push bar and lights it would give it a better look. Kinda looks like a tacoma without it.
it looks like a Chevy Silverado and a Dodge Ram had a baby!

It'd look great going 50 MPH, following a garbage truck going 5 MPH.

Needs those goofy tow mirrors on it.

The front looks like a bird beak. Like its about to stand over me as I slowly die lying in the desert and it will pick my eyes out.

( I'll try to write this story short)..... A friend is a Funny Car paint designer. In the early days, he also worked at the Design Studio in Pasadena, Calif. They were contracted to design most GM,Chrysler, Ford, etc., bodies. THEN, In the early '70's, GM corporate etc., decided to "streamline" body parts for assembly. The 'Big 3' described car body parts such as fender as a "quarter panel".... window post to ""A pillar".... so on & so on.. And the GM requirements reflected this....
GM lost the "SOUL" OF WHAT AN AUTOMOBILE WAS..... The cars started to look like boxes with ugly bumpers. These Pasadena artists were CAR GUYS..... They all quit.
Guess who grabbed these artists? Japan. Then the Dastun 'Fairlady' turned into the Datsun 240Z. Honda revamped the Accord.
GM is still screwing up. ( Look what happened to the 'retro Camero' look??

I agree, the Camaro was a swing and miss in my opinion. When compared to the Challenger they missed the mark.
