Wow, can't wait to see this thing without its camo on! Can't wait to test drive one either. I may hold out on buying a truck for now until this one comes out! I used to go semi baja with my 98 in the woods, it was a blast an I know I would absolutely love to have a stock truck designed for serious off-road abuse.

Can anyone tell anything from looking at the front suspension? Rear looks like a regular straight axle to me.

I think it's just the cut out fenders that make it look that way...

I think they are going for more of the off road racing, In that case it would be a perfect height

The front still looks like the SLA set up but the long arms look even longer. But that may be just the anle of the photo.

let the canvas come off and see if the Baja Raptor will measure up to the Mud Nationals and Muddy-gras around here in East Texas.

Looks like a huge production mistake to me. I can't see this being a practical production vehicle, but then again there are a ton of people who buy PSD's that have absolutely no use for them.

Probably would just be a limited production run every year if it is ever released

how many people need a lightning or a svt-10 ram. its not about what we need we all want more and more. its a great market for all the people who wish the FX-4 went one step farther. great truck to race around in and probably has good capacity on it from modified suspension and big motor.

i love the look of baja style, the idea is to get ground clearance while mantaining a low COG so it gets the effect older style 3/4 and 1 tons get because the cab is not as tall so even with a big lift the might not seem as tall as you would think next to a 99 up superduty. basically the truck looks taller becasue of fender height and ground clearance but actually has a low center of gravity and a roof height that is probably the same as other trucks.

been wong before could be now
