Auto Show Sunday

Going to the Auto Show Sunday, going to heckle the Mitsubishi booth, check out the TRD PRO if Toyota has the guts to show up with one, and ask questions about the 2017 Raptor that the Bikini girls wont know anything about....Anything anyone wants to ask a bikini girl about a new vehicle?

heckle the Mitsubishi booth... funny. Let us know if there is one. Only the dealer in the area was showing Mitsubishi vehicles at our local auto show in March. Nobody to even chat with.
 
They show that there is one. But it may be just a dealer one I suppose. Mits had one before the crash, then none for many years after the crash. We will see tomorrow, too much work for today.
 
Mitsubishi is on the floor plan but was not there! Just wow. So some impressions of vehicles we are looking at. The wife is getting a Toyota Inferno 4 Runner. Things to like include armor, manual 4x4 selector, TRD upgrades, however it is a very dated truck, interior, trans, engine, interior features, and a low slung fuel tank.

The F150, as I am dreaming of a Raptor some day is more like a Range Rover, or maybe a Mits had they continued on there original path, Twin Turbo Eco V6 slamming out possibly 600HP(365 basic model) and better gas mileage then the old Iron 6.2V8, spot light mirrors, loads of led lighting. tons of A/c and D/c outlets, USB ports, slide back double moon roof, name it. 360 degree camera, extra switches for off-road add ons, blah, blah, blah.....I have to say the F150 and Ford Raptor designs do impress, its too bad Ford does not put out a similar design for a trail rig(not monster full size SUV) as well as maybe a Tacoma sized truck.

As always the Rubicon, the only real competitor to Toyota in the off-road rig world( I dont count the Xterra, but you can) feels extremely dated and like being in a tin can. Hard to justify such a big purchase for some great off-road gear.

Looking for that thing i just had in my hand...
Ford has a new race version of the Ranger presumably to compete with the Mitsubishi Triton RS in South America, two silly fast REAL race trucks the US will never see (unless imported under race only regulations). They'd be horrid overland rigs but it you were into offroad speed and launches you could pack light and make the trip. It would be cool if Ford made the new Raptor more like the Race Ranger, I feel about the Raptor like you and the Jeep Rubicon too much money for something with 80's suspension. That Ranger on the other hand is near perfection, I'd still take the RS over it but that's just me and my MMC bias. :)

Did Ford motors roll out the F150 Tonka truck?

I went to Washington D.C auto show back in Jan 2015 and Toyota had their TRD PRO, however no Mitsubishi exhibit.
 
What was crazy to me was they bought and paid for a booth and advertising and were a no show. That is a waste. Guess they decided that had nothing competitive to show, and no new models...
