That does not look like an 06 or the 07 Looks like a modified version of the Concept Trac

I think its looks awesome, but they should offer a lifted version or offroad package as well.

 

[Snooze]

I dont like the switch of the frame and suspension. They should keep using the ford ranger set up so that the off road enthusiasts dont get left out. Sure a smoother ride will be nice and a wider track will be good for roll over specs, but I like a truck.. a truck truck that can go places. A truck like the new one that is lifted 6 inches with 35's... would look sooo sexy.



Just me.

I love! I WANT ONE!

 

[Gypsy me]

the 07 looks nothing like that lol

 

[Josh Langel]

How do you know, GM... NOT LIKE you've seen it in person!!!!

 

[Gypsy me]

No, I saw an 07 Zebra just like the others did, that attended the SWAZ meet! LOL

 

[Josh Langel]

[Gypsy me]

[Josh Langel]

So you had it in a ponytail

 

[Gypsy me]

the shades are close :lol:

 

[Gypsy me]

personally I dont think there will be an 06 but thats just my thinking.

Longe, lower and wider sounds great since mine is used on-road only, and that will be less prone to rollover. I will go w/the V6 again since gas will probably be north of $4.00 by the time I trade in the '03 on one of these, and my M3 convertible will fill my speed needs.

 

[Tom Schindler]

GM is right. There is not suposed to be a 2006 Trac. The 2007 Trac will be a late 2006 model, but it will not be a 2006.

I saw a 2007 Trac (Not the SVT one) on Hines Drive heading away from Dearborn. It was not convered much at all, just the black nose cover, no zebra. It looked so good, but once again there was pretty heavy traffic and I was going the opposite way so I couldn't turn around and try to get closer.



Oh well, looked really good though! It looks nothing like that either, consumer reports knows very little about the ST from the looks of it.

 

[Tom Schindler]

Derek,



It isn't an import. That is why they know nothing about the Trac.

I received a brochure from Ford yesterday, the ST is not listed for 2006...
