Anyone know what type of truck this is? What year?I know it's not a XJ but it sure would be nice to have one of these parked next to the XJ.

Looks like a M37, or some relation or creation close to it.

Whoa

Are those twin turbos in the other pics?
Wow.
My friend has to have two of these bought from civil defense(city), flathead dodge motor with crank driven winch. One we put a 352c.i. truck motor in, with a 4 inch body lift made from box steel. Indestructible trucks. They are still used around the farm.

All of that will change when it comes out. It'll likely come with whatever the payload does (1500 2500 etc) since all it is is a Ram with 4 doors. Car makers think they can fool us by changing the name so we think its new and better. ie Explorer Sport Trac rather than just calling it a 4 door Ranger...
