Not a fan of Dodge trucks....but the hellcat engine in this



Now if only Ford would stop screwing around with that Ecoboost BS and shove in that new 7.3 V8

AWESOME!!!!!

Looks like FCA threw everything they had at this truck.

I would be very surprised if ANY of these sold for less than $100k.

Think the legendary Raptor just got slaughtered by a T-Rex today. This thing is bonkers, so over the top, I love it!

[Fobroader]

The V8 makes it 1000X more attractive to me, the sound this thing will make will be just

[revalations]

According to TFL Truck a next gen Raptor mule is running around making V8 sounds, hopefully they dump that Ecoboost.

Meanwhile over at GM I can hear crickets, come on guys! Make us GM truck fans a 650 Hp+ Trail Boss ZR2.

I would happily take a modern day GMC Syclone or a 454SS, they don't have to go all pre-runner, I like fast trucks too.

This is absolutely fantastic:

“T. rex destroys raptors,” says the head of the Ram brand, Mike Koval, referring both to the Jurassic era and, Ram hopes, the fourth quarter of 2020 when the Hellcat-powered TRX goes on sale.
The goal was to create the most megalomaniacal pickup, starting with 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque from the supercharged 6.2-liter V-8

Awesome stuff. We are in a new golden age

The odds of me buying anything from Dodge and Co are extremely low but I love how their answer to most problems is give it more power.

Here's the actual reveal from FCA:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=19&v=kMXXL5fZTEY&feature=emb_title

Love the opening, with the scenes from Jurassic Park.

I gotta say, I'm really excited about this truck.  I dunno, maybe I'm just a truck guy, but I get way more excited about this stuff than I do about the latest muscle car like the GT500 or any supercar of any sort.

Colour me crazy, but if I had the money, I'd have a TRX in my driveway over almost anything else.  It's absolutely bonkers, mad, austentatious, and ridiculous, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

That it's cheaper than a Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is bonkers.  I feel like you're getting so much more with the TRX.

Dodge is an example of marketing genius, taking basic ideas, limited budget, limited lineup, and ancient chassis and making them new and exciting.

For the opposite, see GM.
