inside information
Does anyone have any inside information about Ford answering GM and Ram, call out for a less expensive offroad type truck?
Something like the TrailBoss or Ram Tradesman, small 2" lift kit, locker, real all terrain tires basic trim packages?
Not looking for a 70k Raptor, something I can take hunting without the guilt of banding up a 70k truck.

Just how cheap do you want to go? If this thing is going to be street legal, it has to meet all kinds of safety and emissions standards. That costs money. If you want something relatively inexpensive that will go almost anywhere take a look at a UTV. You can go from bare bones all the way up to (relative) luxury. It isn't street legal and you should probably wear a helmet when crashing thru the woods but it will go places no pickup will, haul up to 4 people and won't cost a fortune.
Or, you could look at a Mahindra Roxor!

Nope, no rumors about a competitor for those trim levels. But honestly, Wiggums has the right answer. You don’t need any special badges or marketing mumbojumbo to get a “cost effective” truck. Start with a base truck and build your way into what you want.
Then find something similar on the used market in a 3-4 year old truck. The money you saved can be used to mod the truck into your perfect rig.

You beat me to it. The XL may come with the smaller wheel / tire combo but it can be geared the same as a luxury truck from the factory and it will likely be more reliable.
