Y’all are way ahead of me, I am hoping for some free hours tonight and tomorrow to get most of these figured out. I appreciate the enthusiasm and guideline suggestions though.
Still in the formulating stages, hang tight!
OK everyone, I updated the first post with all the requirements, priorities, restrictions, etc. Let’s give it a day to get past Halloween and if everything looks agreeable, I’ll set the timeframes soon.
What about Advanced Trim Settings?
I’m assuming you can use them, but only in moderation.
Very good question. I have zero issue with reasonable changes/adjustments. It might even be smart to add some mild rake to the suspension with it, or lower on the frame a tiny bit. Just don’t overcook it. Interior is skipped on QFCs so the typical adjustments for chassis aren’t needed.
If there is no further deliberation, I just have the question on timing, since there are holidays and a few other very interesting competitions going on. We usually conduct QFC’s pretty quick, so, how about launching submissions from today on, and would everyone be good with ending this one on Nov 12th, 12:00 PM EST?
Make it the 13th (a Sunday) and we’re good
Great idea, and done, updated the first post to reflect the new timeframe.
2003 Bolland Braford SprintX V8
For 2003, the 3rd generation Braford was introduced in North America. For the first time in the Braford’s history, the 3rd generation was a North American market exclusive; Global markets would receive updates to the compact 2nd generation truck as the US-specific 3rd gen grew in every dimension. Compared to the compact truck competition, the new Braford sported a roughly 3.5" wider body, and a 6.5’ bed in regular cab mid-length bed form (a long bed was also available, as well as a short bed for extended cabs), aiming to carve a new niche between the ever-growing half-ton market and the well-established compact truck market. Construction remained of the conventional ladder frame and leaf sprung rear axle. The additional body width and bed length was intended to bring new levels of comfort and usability to the relatively inexpensive Braford, and make buyers of half-tons take a second look at this big midsize option.
The sporty SprintX package took advantage of the new wider platform to offer a more powerful engine; the 5.3 liter “Amber New Millenium” small block V8. In this sporty guise, the 5.3 ANM produced 295 hp thanks to a sport exhaust and a slightly more aggressive tune. The SprintX received a unique rear differential as well, the regular limited slip replaced by a road-oriented viscous unit with an aggressive final drive ratio, allowing the truck to accelerate to 100 kmh in 6.5 seconds. To improve the cornering capabilities of this sporty truck, the SprintX also received a stiff, sport-tuned suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes with big, 13" rotors and 4 piston calipers up front, and 255/55r19 high-performance tires.
Great start, everyone! Lots of potential in these lil trucks.

Sumida G Max Gsport V8
First, a message from your friend Joe Sumida,
How fast is Sumida G Max Gsport V8? How’s 950 Miles per hour? (Sounds like a lie)
Even “Joe Sumida” can’t resist to do the “Bullet catch” in this G Max Gsport V8.
Alright! Time to close the submissions, the winner has arrived!
26 mpg, 0-60mph in less than 5 seconds.

2003 Pandora Avatar GTX
Powered by an 8L V10 engine, producing 413hp and 639nm, the Avatar GTX does indeed come with a strong heart and no fear… of sideswiping a tree that is. Offered with RWD and a manual 5 speed transmission as standard and available with 4WD and an automatic 5 speed transmission, any owner will find themselves one with their Avatar as they drive it. With a long bed, an optional tow hitch and a large engine, the Avatar also can be a hard worker and a utilitarian beast with a tow anything attitude. But when you want to have fun, just shut off the traction control, drop it down into first and put your foot down. Whether you want to perform a graceful slide, light up the tires or tow bulldozers, rest assured the Avatar GTX will not disappoint.
Yes, this is not a truck, more of a mini-ute. I messaged you and would be OK with a resub, based on the cab + bed needing to be a separated. That’s a true truck (at least in this competition.)
