Default Rumble Bee Concept announced (ramtrucks.com video)

Pretty much what I expected.

Given it is a concept, lets pretend it makes it to market. What do you think will be different?

My predictions are
1. Cut out not available on a production truck
2. Paint will be a gloss yellow rather than a matte. I like it, but I have a feeling they will cave to the main stream.
3. Wheels will not be 24

The gear **** is very cool having a real bee in it.

personally dont like a 24" rim on any truck like the design of them but it needs to be a 22" max, kinda disappointed they didnt put the 392 in it

If they make that **** available as an aftermarket part I would bet it would BEE a seller.

The **** is the coolest part. I agree, it should have had the 6.4 in it. Dodge has gotten too comfortable making "special editions" but leaving the performance the same. Even if it were still a 5.7, but had 410-420hp or so. Doesn't HAVE to be a 480hp 6.4, but something guys.

Looks like a yellow truck with 24" rims and a graphics package.

Wow, not worth any extra $$. Your truck won't be unique.

Better off putting a few K$ into customizing your own rig.

I`m in total agreement with that statement... unless they put a 6.4 HEMI in it... or even a "HELLCAT 5.7" then ya got somethin.

Speaking of the "5.7 HELLCAT," when is that suppose to go into production? I've read/heard rumors, just wondering if anyone has confirmation. I'm looking for a new toy to replace my current one, lol!

There is no 5.7 Hellcat, it's a 6.2. Supposed to bow next year for the '15 Challenger SRT8 and likely Charger/300 SRT8.

I think the first appearance is next...April-ish at, I believe, the Chicago Auto Show. May be wrong, but it's supposed to be next spring
