Chevrolet Silverado Reaper joins Ford’s SVT Raptor as an Angry Birds truck

Ford's F-150 SVT Raptor stands alone as a beastly off-road truck with a bad attitude. There's nothing else like it on the market, and it was about time someone stepped up to compete. Ram offers a Mopar dealer-installed Ram Runner upgrade that's underwhelming compared to the factory SVT deal, and Chevrolet has been missing in action. This mad looking Silverado is actually a joint venture between Lingenfelter Performance and Southern Comfort Automotive, bringing you the angriest angry truck of all — the Reaper, Chevrolet's new rival to Ford's SVT Raptor.

Realistically the Reaper is more akin to the Shelby Raptor — a tuned version of a mass-produced truck. Only in the case of Lingenfelter's concoction, a more thorough tune job that will be available as a conversion kit through select Chevy dealers. It's so heavy, in fact, that its entire face has been mashed into a secret Angry Birds tie-in. And its glued on fenders appear as sturdy as Thailand's political system.
