Well.....so you may not realize it but all the 06-23 4 door run actually took styling cues from the old ones, some overt and others subtle. The '24 & newer (such it is) looks like a modern interpretation of a '68 up front and a '69-'70 out back.
I thought the 2024 model was an EV and it's being killed lol - and yes there are subtleties to the years you mention but I'm wanting the general lee look! Hahaha
It is, but the platform was designed for both EV and gas engine. They ended the EV because it was absolute shite (they literally brick themselves). For 2026 (for which the model year began approximately Oct last year) they released them with the new inline 6 turbo hurricane engines in both 420hp & 550hp flavors and AWD. This platform is gonna be around for a few years at least.
Someone did that on an electric one but it would look the same.
Oh good I'm glad they are keeping them
Even being able to disable it (which you have to do every time you start it up again) electronically, the hardware is still there.
true - So why do we need it on this vehicle?
Because lack of traction sucks. People have been complaining for over two decades now about how the power levels keep going up in the cars but they can't put a big enough tire out back nor had a capable AWD system that would fit. Smoking tires at launch wastes time, gas & makes you slower. Hellcat cars can break the rear loose EASILY just by stomping on it and making the trans kickdown. Currently the hardest launching Mopars are the Hellcat powered trucks/SUV's due to the AWD system. It's violent.
Ok then that makes perfect sense thank you
A couple of hard core youtuber's who are on a first name basis with Tim K. have done some pretty thorough light enhancement of this dark photo and firmly believe it's a street truck with a version of the hellcat motor or 426. Who knows, but when you look at this photo and see how great it could look from some renders it really makes you think.Maybe the cloaked one will be a Pre Runner!!
Tim said it will not have a 392.
What i don't understand is why they had to release an off road truck like the TRX and not a street version also. As much as i like the TRX i don't care to off road in the city, which is where a majority of the owners i see in possession of one.
If its a V10 then i wonder if they'll pillage a V10 from the Ford line up ? Or are they hiding a V10 return cuz they haven't had a V10 since the Viper was axed. And if there is a 6spd option then we are in a for a treat.
Agreed , same with the Duster .. the looks of both did not impress me at all ….
Absolutely not to both. There's no way they would've had an updated V10 development unless it was a more closely guarded secret than most in production Marvel movies or who actually killed JFK. The 426 is just too big a displacement. The major thing that killed the original SRT-10 Rams was the absolutely shitty gas mileage; 8 mpg around town ranks right up there with an old 440 muscle car lol. If he outright said it won't have a 392, then either he is lying/being misleading or I agree it gets the 'cat, likely the same version.
Absolutely will not happen because no modern 1500 crash testing has been performed with a stick shift plus they have never hooked a manual to a transfer case in a performance application and aren't likely to start now. It'll have an 8sp, likely the 8HP95.
Pipe dreams. Neither will happen.
Most likely correct on all counts - and who drives a stick shift vehicle anymore anyways hahaha
