I know someone it going to get pi$$ed when I say this, but the front end of that thing reminds me of an F250...I kinda like the looks of it...But I would much rather have my Ford...

Never been much of a Dodge truck guy, but I think it's good looking. 40% better city mpg. If that's accurate, it'll get well over 20 mpg city. That will keep light duty full size trucks in the market for while longer. Hope GM and Ford keep making improvement also.

The front end of it is reminiscent of a charger or a magnum almost. It does bear a similar resemblence to an F250 in its face.

One thing I am NOT impressed with is the STUPID idea of putting a hemi in it, what a waste.........dumb dumb dumb dumb. All they are good for is chitty gas mileage and not getting the performance out of them they should get. JUNK!

yeah i am a dodge fan but not a fan of the dodge transmissions! the HEMI is for one perpose POWER why put it in a hybrid? makes no sence to me.. you will be limiting the HEMI.... oh well thats why i drive a Ford

What a coincidence! the same thing coming out of Bob Nardelli's mouth was the same thing coming out of the bull's azz.

Electric/DIESEL drive with 55,000 hp...

how do you suppose Dodge intends to shoot this off? they may market it as a hybrid, but when u read the fine print it'll have some piss-poor pulling power or tow rating. i wouldn't be suprised if a Prius could out-tow this thing...

he drives a '96 civic lx and plans to "rice out" his whopping 90 hp motor, but whenever I let him drive my truck, he really loves it. ;)
