The pricing on the Husky.. sheesh.  I bought my 2020 690 brand new for 11,500.

It’s interesting, I’ve worked as a contractor at a BNSF yard here in Minneapolis and those guys were all about safety.  To the point where they mandated earplugs AND muffs.. the joke was the higher-ups didn’t want you to hear the train before it ran you over.

One of them was definitely Elite.  I remember some minor outrage over it.  

What couldn’t be done? Making an incredibly ugly and useless vehicle?

“I just skimmed some reviews and think that they agree with my preconceived notions”

And that one’s been all prettied up for a photo shoot. They actually straightened out most of the panel gaps.

A basic topper runs what, $2,000? I was looking at some ‘overland’ oriented toppers - you know, screened sliding windows and such. Those were getting up or above $4000 if I remember right. So, while I still think the pricing on the GFC is pretty ridiculous, it’s not as crazy when you account for the cost of the topper…

50,000 in 3 years is barely above the US average, which is up to 14,000 miles a year.

Damn, that’s flyin’.  Fastest I’ve managed ~100 miles is about 8.5 hours.  240 miles took about 20 hours.. that one hurt.

Well my KTM only cost $11k and gets 50mpg, so clearly you were ripped off.

I figured they would keep as much of the standard Mustang chassis as they could, probably lets them get away with not crash testing the shiny new toy.  Plus, I’m sure a GT3 chassis wouldn’t pass crash tests anyways.

You realize this is the top end model geared towards off-roading, not towing?

650hp of supercharged fun

I drive the previous gen ZR2 extended cab / long bed.

I’ve seen some real world reports of 19-21mpg if not going crazy on the highway.

I picked up my ZR2 diesel for a hair under $45k.  To get into a full size with similar options (heated seats, heated steering wheel, at least a locking rear diff) you need to stack on the packages and it would be 55-65k to get a pretty similar spec.

Well at least the tree they hit was quite literally on the hospital grounds, so I’m sure it was a quick ride there.

Looks like higher mileage C6's are dropping into that range. Easy to fix any issues, and a solid base for a track car.

Yup, I feel this article.  Picked up a KTM 690 Enduro 2 years ago at the ripe old age of 40.  Now, it’s a great bike.  Fun as hell, plenty of power, handles amazingly.. but I think I fixated too much on the off-roady part and not enough on the comfort.  I don’t have dirt right out my back door, it’s at least a 1 hour…

Didn’t realize pricing was up on the Ford site.  Yeah I think I’d be sticking with the Cramro
