I'm having a tough time understanding these Dodge performance trucks with a spoiler across the tailgate. I thought the idea of a pickup box was partly to, like, haul stuff that might just stick up above the box walls? :)

I love the wings on some trucks...Especially the srt-10....I want one on my truck but only when I get the hard cover for the truck.

Is it going to be four or two wheel drive? I hope its 2 wheel, thats the only thing that is stopping me from buying a rumble bee.

What does it really matter if it's 4x4 or not? I mean it's a simple turn of a switch to take it from RWD to 4x4.

I guess I just don't get this thing that DCX has about recycling their old performance names from the past and attaching them to vehicles that have absolutely nothing in common with the originals. IE- trucks.... Rumble Bee, then Hemi GTX, now Daytona? And don't even get me started on the new Not-a-Charger..........

wtf, if they're gonna make a daytona make it a damn daytona not some damn truck. :(

[edit]
or at least make the truck fast. like the original rumblebees that shop was turning out before DCX was like 'oooh pretty' then made a ram with a hood scoop.

The Rumble Bee is available in both 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive!

From Pickuptruck.com:

quote:

The Ram Daytona will be available with either a 4x4 or 4x2 drivetrains and in regular cab or Quad Cab body style. The regular cab will have a molded side sill while the Quad Cab includes a running board. Only two colors will be offered: Go Mango, which is a burnt orange shown in our photos, or Silver Metallic. These colors will also accent the center bezel on the dash and highlight the instrument panel. Other interior features include premium cloth seating and Daytona monograms in the headrests and floor mats.

Included in the Daytona package will be the 5.7-liter Hemi engine, 5-speed automatic transmission and 3.92:1 rear axle ratio.

Ok...on Pickuptruck.com...the top of the screen says 2006 model year...the rest of the article says 2005...which one is it? I'd assume a 2005 since it looks like the current model, when it's suppose to be refreshened for the 2006 model year.

YOu are right, it doesn't make sense. They attach GTX to a V* vehicle. The original GTX was a V6.
