I think this blows the Raptor out of the water. Cooler engine, better looks and nicer interior.

I don't like the trend that cars are getting so expensive, but this, along with the M2C, I could "justify". This can be a DD, it can be a utility car, it's not going to be slow with that engine. As an only vehicle, I'd totally understand

This truck is so awesome. I’d love to have one in my driveway.
Now Ford’s gonna have to put the GT500 engine in the Raptor.
Competition is always good for the consumer.

I want to say I like the truck, but don’t think I could ever own a Ram based off of previous history with Mopar.

Raptor has my eyes in this segment (even though it sounds like a blender) but that may definitely change once these hit the pavement...

So I’m guessing ford will engage in this pissing contest and probably stuff the GT500’s motor in the Raptor.

Already confirmed, we saw the first test vehicles with a V8.

For those who think 700hp isn't enough.

Only 3 will be built, 1200hp, 6x6, and an asking price of $500k

Two might get that truck on time, and the third guy will just get that rendered picture in the mail

Truth. Those old posts on Viper forums made it a no go for ever even considering to do business with a guy like that.

This post dives deeper into it.
