I like what I see so far but I'll wait till I see it in person before passing judgement.

Haha! That's great! The front even has Asian eyes. Looks like a Transformer on steroids! Wonder how it'll fare.

When will they put that 5.7L engine in a coupe! (I'm half-joking, it probably weighs a ton)

CKit

Holy crap! I looked at the website. That is very well thought out. It's an interactive television commercial Very well done and even takes a little shot at the competition by highway passing while towing a boat.

>10,000 pound towing capacity!

360 Degree View and Color Selector

Here's a link for a really cool 360 degree view and different color selector. I like the Nautical Blue Metalic.

they should have done a full crew cab, not the dodge style add on area

I'm lookin at these or a the new ford 2008 turbo diesel for a tow/weekender

pierceman

but I mean a full window, I don't like the 3/4 size looking door with the sheet metal behind the back door area

That's the one thing this truck is missing, a diesel option.

Are they built in North Korea or something?

Anyways, well it definitely lost any vestige of its more feminine-looking 1st-gen shape. And they FINALLY got the idea and went true full-size. The engines seem to be about right. No diesel will still hold tem back though. I would guess a diesel will come in a year or two, but the Big 3 sell SOO many trucks because of the diesel option...
