Why is no manufacturer building a "Raptor Killer"?

[-Ryan-]

Nissan has the Titan Warrior prototype but I doubt that will ever go into production. With the demand so high for the Raptor why aren't other companies trying to get into the market? Competition would only benefit the consumer.

So build a truck that costs more than the Raptor just to outdue it? Sounds like a waste of money for any manufacturer.

Not sure where you read that.

If a manufacturer makes a competitor to the Raptor and it sells, it's not a waste of money, it doesn't have to cost more either.

Im sure many boardrooms have chucked the idea around.

For one reason or another its just not a priority to them.

He said killer, therefore implying better, not equal. Better costs more.

Yeah I guess that's pretty much the obvious answer. I just would like to see it happen. See what other companies could come out with. I guess they just think it's too niche to purse.

Killer was a little tongue in cheek. Like when you see "Iphone killer" or what ever product "killer", just meaning competitor.

That's not necessarily true either. Plenty of people think a ZR2 is better than a Tacoma TRD Pro and it doesn't cost more. Why are you so against something competing against the Raptor? What's the problem if it IS better and it DOES cost more if there's a market for it?

When we're done talking about no other company making a "Raptor killer" we can talk about why no one builds a Jeep Wrangler killer.

The reasons are many. And obvious.
