Most ridiculous truck EVER - LotusTalk

rudaire · 01-23-2009, 07:23 AM

I saw one of these this morning on the way to work. Before today, I never knew such a thing existed. Did you?

Dodge Ram T-Rex Concept truck

RichS · 01-23-2009, 07:29 AM

12,000 lbs and 0 to 60 in 7.7. Not bad.

glad to see that bailout money is being used wisely.

You are correct. But somehow I know that the geniuses at Chrysler (now with the aid of Fiat) are up to something equally as absurd with OUR bailout money.

Vampyre · 01-23-2009, 08:07 AM

LOL.. maybe.
but in the late 1990's , SUV's and trucks were what was selling...

I always thought this one was pretty over the top...and it's a production model.

kestrel74 · 01-23-2009, 08:30 AM

Just another gimmick to get less gas mileage.

IamGregH · 01-23-2009, 10:04 AM

I think this is awesome... It's a 4-cyl But I don't think I could bring my self to take it home.

I'm asian and I think that one is funny..

I say, if it ends in -ING -ANG -UNG -ONG or starts with X it's chinese..

-ASO, and some others are japanese..

last names choi/kim/park/ keep in mind there are lots of ways to spell these too.. choi/cho/choe kim/gim park/buk/bark/ are korean.. nearly all koreans have one of these last names..

Check out this stupidity :

Well trucks do need more support in the rear, and super cars do need less understeer, so maybe these 6 wheel designs are really functionality winners.

wantanelise · 01-28-2009, 10:01 AM

I have never seen that before...
