Ford F-150 Raptor as the Modern Bandit Mobile
The original 1977 Pontiac Trans Am's screaming chicken decal and black-and-gold color scheme made it the ultimate outlaw machine. Today's equivalent? The Ford F-150 Raptor - a high-performance truck with desert-running capability that would let Bandit outrun any modern smokey.
- 450-horsepower twin-turbo V6 vs. the Trans Am's 200-hp V8
- Off-road suspension perfect for backroad escapes
- Modern tech like trail turn assist for evasive maneuvers
Tesla Semi as Snowman's Hauler
Jerry Reed's character Snowman needed a rig that could handle the "hot cargo" while keeping up with Bandit. The Tesla Semi offers:
- 500-mile range on a single charge
- 0-60 mph in 20 seconds with 80,000 lbs - unheard of in 1977
- Autopilot capabilities for those long hauls
