FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CHICAGO (February 6, 2014) – Lingenfelter Performance Engineering introduced the all-new 2014 Reaper during the Media Preview of the 2014 Chicago Auto Show. The high-performance pickup truck was designed with Chevy-truck enthusiasts in mind.
“The best word I could use to describe projects like this to you is the passion that we have for performance cars and the commitment that we have to our customers who buy our performance cars and our parts,” said Ken Lingenfelter, president and owner of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering.
The 2014 Reaper features upgrades such as the Magnuson supercharger available on 5.3-liter or 6.2-liter engines and 17-inch beadlock performance wheels.
The Reaper is expected to go on sale in March at select Chevrolet dealers across the country starting at $50,000.
“When we decided we were going to do a Chevrolet-based truck that was designed for off-roading, there was no sacrifice we wouldn’t make,” said Mike Copeland, vice president of operations for Lingenfelter Performance Engineering.
