To really be lighter it cannot have 4 doors.
It will probably have the Pentastar V6.
It will probably have 8 or 9 speed auto so rear diff could be 2.76 ratio.
FCA would sell at least 30,000 more per year if a 5.7 is optional.


There will need to be a 4 door option. Most people didn't buy pickup trucks for their main vehicle because there isn't any room in the cab. All these guys here would have you believe otherwise but the fact is if it wasn't for the 4 door trucks they wouldn't sell half of what they sell now.
