I think you gotyour trucks mixed up. The Power Wagon is a heavy off-road oriented 4 door Ram based on the 2500. THe R/T is the 1500 RC with Hemi power, 4.10 gears, and a sport suspension.

GM, BUILD THIS, well, like someone else said, keep the CF brakes, the CF, and the silly sideskirts and let it haul and tow!

Here are a few photos I shot at SEMA this past week. I really like this truck and want to see it built. My concern is that if it came to production as is the price may overshoot the market for it.

should have waited for the Tremor...

there isn't money to be made in the regular cab market, so these performance oriented trucks won't be made in mass production numbers

Couldnt they make this truck without the CF stuff/wheels and make those options? you would get the same truck with the option to add all that crap that most of us wouldnt want or could buy aftermarket? my 1 cents (cant afford 2 cents right now )

C/F bumpers and such are the non-NHTSA pieces I mentioned. The truck is NOT OE-buildable as displayed...

Do you know how many regular cabs they build just to be fleet trucks? It makes perfect sense. They are already building regular cabs in volume so why not throw some parts at a few going down the line and raise the price? I would buy one if they dropped the carbon fiber and added a hitch. 420hp/460tq and no hitch?

They need to build this. It'll only improve the breed. More competition for RAM R/T and F-150 Tremor means they all get better. I was sad to see the Lightning and SRT-10 go, but the manufacturers seem to think the market is ready for sport trucks again. A little at least, here's to more than just dipping their toes into that and jumping in whole heartedly.

I thought I had heard the Tremor was done and not going to be offered for 2015, so maybe there isn't a market if Fords not offering it. Either way Chevy needs to build this!
