I thought this was interesting.

Just about everything on that site is wrong. The Rampage is a 2006 concept, not 2013. The concept was equipped with a 5.7L Hemi, not a 3.6L Pentastar. And a $23k MSRP? Yea right. Anything like that is going to be at least $30k which presents the same problem as the 3rd gen Dakota; Why pay that much for a Dak when you can get a Ram?

Very cool concept and I'd love to have one. It's just never going to happen, though.

 

Oh I completely agree. The "interesting" part was sarcastic. The concept could be phenominal, but like you said, $30K would get you a nice Ram.

 

but 300 horse and 23-25 mpg would be nice

 

Hopefully they finally come out with the Jeep Gladiator. That is one Mopar pickup I would love to own!

 

I've always missed my Comanche. I wish it had been a crew cab or at least an extended cab. I had an 88 for a few years with the inline 6 and a 5 speed (made by Peugeot of all people). It was a nice truck, would go just about anywhere, but had to give it up when the first baby came along.

 

I had an 80s blue Comanche with a long bed. It was a 5-speed with the GM 2.5 Ironduke that was shared with the S-10s. Mine was AMC right before Chrysler bought them, so I think it was an 87ish... That thing was sweet.

 

it looks like they are just trying to bring this back with a little more sucess.

Looks like one of those Honda want-a-be pickups with the Unibody crap. Not a truck just a trendy toy. They will sell to the guy who camps over night at big box store for the newest phone of tablet or gets into a shoe department fight for a $200.00 pair if sneakers.

 

The Avalanche wasn't too bad, but the Ridgeline was pretty gross, I wish they wouldn't have thought of a full size unibody. It basterdizes my mullet lovin El Camino.
