Yeah I'm thinking that this is either not an SRT-10 or it is missing a lot of the body of the PVO truck. I seriously doubt they would put a standard grille and chrome bumper on this beast.

I would expect it to look a lot more like the show truck than this.

Maybe the wheels and color are accurate.




Prototypes frequently have tons of crap that isn't going to production.

You guys kill me sometimes

BTW, it is ugly and does have duals. I thought this truck was to come out as an '03 or am I wrong?

Sorry guys, she may be ugly but according to this:

"Under the surface, PUTC's sources are also reporting that Chrysler PVO has gone to great lengths to reduce the truck's weight using high amounts of alloy materials and special framing construction. The end result should be a truck that weighs less than the Ford SVT F-150 Lightning"

She's not going to be FAT--could be trouble???

I can understand the appreciation of the potential performance... But I really can not see how anyone can like the way that thing looks... I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder....

It's the test mule!!! Dosge doesn't want people to know what it is. This is the test mule so it will be disguised. THE PRODUCTION ONE WILL LOOK DIFFERENT!

HAHA

that truck looks like ****.. yes
.
but hey, do you ACTUALLY believe they would be driving around the SAME exact truck with the SAME exact body as the one they will be releasing in 2003 or 04? like any other TEST car, its not the same.

get real...

expect changes in the rear bumper / exhaust and front bumper / intake area.

but ill agree on this one, that particular truck does not look good

eh, yuck. the other ones were aight, better looking than a regular dodge, but not as nice as a ford. This ones just plain old fugly. but you guys are probalby right about the disguise. The rims look like crap too. ANd the fake hood scoop looks tacky.

Angry I hope thats just a test mule.

The SRT-10 Truck trend truck that was suppose to be production looked pretty cool. Just a dodge version of a lighting. This pickuptruck.com truck looks like plain old dodge with big rims. How boring. Chrome on a performance truck yuk. That looks like a common joe blow truck now. Hope that was a test mule in desqise. Please dodge go back to your concept I dont want to have to see a truck like that.

Toast,

look closer, you can barely see the other tailpipe in the shadow of the other car sitting next to it.

looks like it should be hauling a cow trailer!

I'm thinking Dodge is going to put up a dissappointment just like GM did. Even if they make the SRT-10 lighter than the L, and deliver what they promise, with the height of a truck and lightness of the rear end there is no way the back wheels will plant with 500 HP! We'll be showing them taillights all day and will only be looking at that ugly thing in our rear view.
