Sample quote

FCA boss Mike Manley once said on an earnings call last year that the company's lack of a true midsize truck is a "clear hole in our portfolio." Then, in February, a truck that looked a lot like a mid-size Ram was spied along with what could be a Hellcat-powered TRX, adding more weight to these rumors.

It's hard to say what platform would underpin the potential pickup, though it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Ram 1500's 3.6-liter V6 make an appearance. Hybrid power is also likely given FCA's contemporary eTorque system that can be found on the Ram half-ton truck and the Jeep Wrangler.

When The Drive reached out to FCA, a company spokesperson refused to comment.

I don't think a small truck would sell where where I live. Everyone wants the biggest trucks they can get their hands on so they can drive it around by themselves while carrying nothing in the bed.

I'm still driving an '87 Dakota because of the regular cab and 8' bed. Doubt they'll ever make something new again to eventually replace it. When I'm selling something large and the guy pulls up in a $80,000 truck with a 4' bed, and expects it to fit, it's kind of funny.

My '02 with the 3.9 has been a good, reliable machine. Still love the way it looks, but at 235,000 it's tired all over. wrench
