This means we MUST be getting the 7x motor in the future, right?

Cool, something to make Ford step up their game. Competition is good.

Comedy. TRX coming or not, looks like regular 19' RAM on Methods and BFGs. Nothing special right there.

It will be a shadow of the concept trk at best

So another two years until production even begins?

And if the final street-ready vehicle looks like the photos in that article, that's a real half-assed attempt by Dodge to go after what Ford has in the Raptor.

Step 1: Throw Hellcat engine in a pickup
Step 2: Wait 4.5 years for production
Step 3: ???
Step 4: PROFIT

Won’t happen

Easily over $100K.

Dodge dreams it can be like a Ford Raptor.

Here's my edited summary. The rest of the article details where and when they've been seeing these test vehicles in the wild.

There will be two versions: The Rebel TR and Rebel TRX

• The Rebel TR will be powered by an all-new 7.0-liter 426 cubic-inch SRT HEMI V8. Codenamed “Banshee”, this engine will replace the current 6.4-liter SRT HEMI V8 “Apache” engine. The Banshee will be naturally aspirated with a power rating just north of 525 horsepower.
• The Rebel TRX will feature the 6.2-liter Supercharged HEMI HELLCAT V8 with 707 horsepower.

Other details:

• The TR and TRX will both have 8-speed automatic transmissions standard
  
• +4-inches more suspension travel over the 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel
  
• +6-inches wider track
  
• 2.5-inch lift over standard 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel
  
• 35-inch off-road tires (we assume they are the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2s, which are also used on Wrangler Rubicon models)
  
• Upgraded frame
  
• Active shock absorbers (which we believe are sourced from King Off-Road Racing Shocks)
  
• The 2021 Ram 1500 Rebel TRX will start production in the third-quarter of 2020 at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
