Extreme Cowboys Pickups

Yeehaw! Full-size pickup trucks that look good, and work hard…
 
There are sexy little urban cowboys who look hot in their chaps…and then there are real-life cowboys who live extreme lives requiring chaps. It’s the same with pickup trucks: some are designed to primp and pose, while others revel in their hard work. Here are four of the latter:
 
Ford F-150 Raptor
Constructed of military-grade aluminum, the Raptor is formidable. It starts with a 3.5-litre turbocharged V6 engine delivering 450 horsepower, and continues to the Terrain Management System that automatically adjusts four-wheel-drive for varying conditions. FOX shocks, wider track, skid plates and long-travel suspension have made it a winner in Baja. If you want extreme cowboying, the Raptor delivers.
Base price: $68,899
 
GMC Sierra HD All Terrain X
Just its name sounds menacing, but it has the cojones to back it up. You can get the All Terrain X with a 6.0-litre V8, but go embrace diesel with 445 horsepower and 910 lb.-ft. of torque. Want to tow a condo on wheels? A boat or classic car? No problem! Black 18-inch wheels, body-colour trim, underbody shield and Z71 off-road suspension set it apart. Choose Black Onyx or Summit White paint—glistening with LED lights.
Base price: $68,263
 
Nissan Titan XD Snow Plow
Winter is a real drag, but it helps to have a friend like the Titan XD with the Plow Prep Package. It comes forti ed with a 390 horsepower 5.6-litre V8 engine, or Cummins turbo-diesel V8, and plows can be fitted to all body styles. The package includes a heavy-duty suspension. Even without the plowing, Titan XD is an impressive truck with near heavy-duty capabilities within a body deftly designed and luxuriously equipped.
Base price: $37,250
 
Ram Rebel
Equal parts Power Wagon and Lil’ Red Truck, Ram Rebel is for the amboyant and adventurous. Ram’s crosshair grille is replaced by a blacked-out version with “RAM” strewn across. The faux twin-snorkel hood, 17-inch wheels and blacked-out trim add allure. A 5.7-litre HEMI V8 that bellows 395 horsepower, skid plates, height-adjustable air suspension and four-wheel-drive carry it anywhere. WiFi, Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto keep you connected.
