Awesome. ChrysFiat should build it. The truck market really NEEDS some innovation rather than just getting bigger and boxier.

new dodge Dakota? or it new baby brother like to see what the dodge version will look like and if it is the new Dakota it will need a longer bed and optional crew cab or at least one that is bigger

It just needs a real roof/greenhouse to be production ready....otherwise,leave it as is.However,with Subaru Baja now gone,this one may suffer the same fate in the marketplace,and the Ridgeline is no chart burner either.

i normally dont like trucks this..but if they bring the diesel and have dif bed/cab options (bigger/longer) then id consider one...plus this would be great for marketing

Not BAD, Looks better than the Ridgeline...Make them with CrewCabs and longer bed. Diesel is great and a 6 or 7 speed Auto or manual??

Gotta know what designers think is going in the beds they draw. The drawings may work on the car crowd but the first thing someone actually needing a vehicle that will also haul things in will be the bed size - as has been mentioned. It just looses too much of the potential market. The rest of the design and specs has some promise.

Good on ya mate,

To see something like this from a student compared to what EXPERTS at Chrysler come up with for trucks is amazing. They should fire their designers and bring in a bunch of new graduates.

5000 lbs towing cap. and 1800 lbs of payload is not too shabby for a small truck. Of course the deisel would never likely make it to the US anyway. Design wise, i'd say it's similar to the GMC Denali XT.

I like this truck, but the closest it will ever get to the US will likely be Mexico, where Fiat has a greater presence.

I bet the sound that come out of the exhaust pipes sounds like this "wop, wop, wop...." lol

Well with an 1800 lb payload this must be at least a mid size truck. I thought it would be smaller like that Pontiac UTE that was supposed to come out before the demise of Pontiac....

I like it. But like said before what is up with that light bar thing on the roof?

what a POS.

I like the design a lot, but can we add two doors in it. Will it goes offroad? That's the big questions I have about it.

Aint that the Mitsubishi Evo front?

Looks like it would meet the ever increasing demands for uselessness. I will keep my Silverado. There are good trucks available right now. I would prefer the Dakota to remain body on frame, and be a workhorse.

this is a real sweet truck they should put them in production a. s. a. p

awesomeee...... I follow your blog for quite a long time and should tell that your articles always prove to be of a high value and quality for readers.

Build it this is what is needed in the sport truck market. Dodge came out in 1999 witha power wagon concept . trucks lie this will be a hit in the limited run field. Just look at the plymouth prowler. ahead of it's time.

awesome car. It's shame that will not be produced as usuall

Looks like something that belongs on Transformers...before the transformation!!
