[ARCHIVED THREAD] - New Ram 1200 (mid-size pickup) rolling out in the Middle East. (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 10/20/2016 8:24:58 AM EDT

The re-badged Fiat, which is actually a re-badged Mitsubishi L200, has officially been unveiled and is set for the Middle East market in 2017. Still no plans or word on a US release.

Not many pics out there of the new 1200, but here's the Mitsubishi it's based off:

Looks butt ugly. Only way it would compete in the American market is if they could deliver it with a price point of around 20-25k.

Don't like the grill and it needs a longer bed. Some.potential though.

For now I'll just keep my Dakota going. I don't need or want a brodozer

Can it drift? Muslims love to drift.

Needs a bigger bed, also how would it hold up supporting the mounted guns in back as is common for that market?

If the suspension can't support rocket pods pulled off a Hind, can it survive the ME market?

So it's basically a Triton?

any pick-up truck sold in the middle east should come standard with a 50 cal machine gun mount...... with optional armor shield, and upgrade heavy weapon carrier package.

new chevy commercial, for Jihad Johnny .

More Euro type trash. I'm a Ram Truck fan having had 2 new ones since 2010 and thinking about another new one.

That twinkle toes excuse for a truck is gay.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Little trucks are dumb, they are even dumber when they will cost what that does.

I dont even consider a 1/2 ton, simply for resale alone.

Better than the Ridgeline.

While it may not suit your needs, it's far from dumb.

I needed a 4 door vehicle. Having a bed (4, 5 or 6 ') is great for when you occasionally need to haul something.

I had a 2004 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab for 12 years and 187K + miles. It served me perfectly. I had the ZQ8 model so it sat lower and drove and handled much like a car.

I gave it to my son and bought a 2016 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab with a 6' bed. It's got a 300+ hp engine and has averaged over 21 MPG with mostly city driving for the 6K miles that I have owned it. $29K OTD.

To each his/her own.

LOL at some of the comments here. Google the Mitsubishi Strada or Triton- it's very popular overseas and is quite a workhorse. It's used in countries with roads worse than a lot of the so-called off-roading in the US.

By middle east they mean ISIS right? So we're going to see this ugly pile of crap with a big ass gun mounted to the back of it soon?

As long as it has 610+ ft lbs of tq sure Turbo Diesel FTW.

I didn't think man could build a gayer truck than the Honda Ridgeline but Dodge proved me wrong.

Posted: 10/20/2016 10:19:29 AM EDT

Is there enough room for a big machine gun and an operator?

Look up the Mazda BT-5, lots of trucks with that look for the world market. They were everywhere when I was down in Barbados.

After being down in Barbados I want a fucking Ford Ranger with diesel

That's why I always lol at trucks in the US. It's takes an F350 with leather, sunroof and tons of chrome to go to bLowes and pick up a box of nails where as in other country's they're using Toyota 79 series trucks for mine duty.

Third pic down, I'd drive it.

I'm sure Dodge will find a way to make them rust in the fucking desert.

Is there a need for that departure angle because that sloped up back end looks hideous.

Americans need the 2500HD truck to tote their own fat asses around, and the 3500 with the dualies if they want to bring their fat wife along. Just like Harley Davidsons.

Skinny folks, skinny trucks, fat folks, fat trucks.

Looks like a Kia Soul fucked a Subaru Baja.

I had one of those, got it for free.

Was a great truck, used it as a work truck for a couple of years until I couldn't get it to pass smog anymore (overcomplicated emissions choked carbed engine).

I need one because I like conspicuous consumption.
