[QUOTE="funkified, post: 1736984, member: 51083"] this right here is true dilution and confusion for the consumer all at the same time. this does make a lot of logical sense, and really we dont know their true intention of slapping the name on these trucks. Is it lazy? Possibly. Is it creative? No, definitely not. Is it an attempt to group a set of vehicles together with a like minded look and functionality? Yes. You know another halo trim that exists/existed for a long time that does the same thing? Any Type-R Honda. Yes, its a comparison of two different types of vehicles, but their marketing and naming convention directly reflects their capability. If you mention the word Type-R, any car geek will know its the absolute best version of a particular Honda (NSX, Integra, Civic, and to a lesser extent the Accord). I think the Raptor line/brand is trying to acheive the same thing. Now if Ford does what BMW/Merc/Audi/Lexus does and named their vehicles the way they do (examples: M/M-package, AMG/AMG package, RS/S-line, F/F-sport), then I would tend to wholly agree with you. However, I think that those makers have truly diluted their model names and the consumer suffers because they see badges that are similar, wheels that look alike, similar-ish aero kits etc...If Ford went and offered a so-called "Raptor Package" on a lower trim then this would be the equivalent to those lux brands, I guess the Tremor would be that pack, but at least its a different name! Thats my 2 cents about all of this. [/QUOTE]
