Interesting. I spoke with one of the lead engineers this past weekend and this was hinted at.

I also spoke with one of the engineers who worked on both the Power Wagon and KORE Ram. There's no doubt about it... both trucks are purely conceptual at this point. We "might see" hints of stuff on either truck make their way to the production floor. But he was pretty clear that Ram is NOT going after the Raptor as of this moment.
