Default Body on Frame midsize mopar

So Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne says this pickup IS coming, but when is the question. An older article, but I thought I might bring it up. Sorry if it's been discussed before.

Sure, the chances of it holding up to the Dakota are slim, or even the Tacoma. But at least it means midsize pickup fans who won't buy anything but Mopar, will have a place to turn.

I love the look, and would probably give up my truck if they came out with this. Really depends on the power plant they throw in.

I'm sure they would come out with a QC version. That would be so much like an H3...

Reminds me a lot of the JK-8 conversion kits for the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited:

I want the new Wrangler Unlimited .... but I doubt Id be willing to fork out the extra $5500 for the kit
