It might be a cutom aftermarket job like the old custom vans of the 70s and 80s.

It is designed to be a towing vehicle--12 speed transmission---claims of 18 plus MPG towing maximum load. I had read and thought they could be ordered thru dodge dealerships.
Going to get one as soon as i locate source if price is not overwhelming. Heard 8,000 over price of megacab.

Nice specs herb. Still looks retarded though. Get rid of the goofy thing on the roof and put normal glass on the back windows instead of the painted ones and get rid of the stacks. Then it would be a sweet looking truck.

So is the "12 speed" just a 6 speed with a gear splitter on it?

Pretty sure it is a gear splitter. personally i like the wind delector top and i am using it strictly for towing enclosed trailers so that rear window is one less window to keep clean.

I read on Allpar that it was going to be made available through dealers as well... guess we'll see.

The looks just aren't right in my opinion but that gear splitter would probably be fun for awhile.

For a full-time puller I think this thing has potential. I think the hood scoop is out of place, and it would look better in black but it could be a pullers best friend.
