Would love a luxury truck I could daily that could tow 8-10k and use to haul a race car around. Nothing like that exists.

Quoting this because I feel it needs repeating. There is a market for luxury pickups. The majority of 1/2 ton crew cab full leather trucks are commuter queens for status and capability. They are not the work trucks, and they might see some mulch or home depot runs.
Price a German pickup 10k above an F150 platinum, but offer a cooler powertrain, better interior, good towing, and more features. Easily 50k a year volume and we know car manufacturers invest in projects for less than that.
Hell, just carry over the 50i and 35d powertrains on a heavier chassis. New transmission and differentials. Done Deal.
