The PaxPower Jackal Chevrolet SilveradoPaxPower via Instagram Chevy might not have yet announced an off-road rival to Ford’s mighty F-150 Raptor, but that doesnt mean enthusiasts dont have options.Texas-based truck tuner PaxPower will now turn your Silverado 1500 into a Jackal, a truck with the Raptor squarely in its headlights.According to Motor Authority, the Jackal will come in three flavours, starting with a five-inch lift, custom hood and fender flares, remote-reservoir coil-overs and shocks, and some bolt-on engine equipment that tweaks everything up to 449 horsepower and 474 lb.-ft. of torque.
