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

I don't know how well it would do mud boggin, because it's not designed to be a mud boggin truck...It's a baja truck...

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
