      Cool. But I am getting worried about how crazy expensive trucks have gotten/will continue to get.

      I wish they would release a “backcountry edition” that was more bare inside. Ballistic nylon interior, couple inch lift from the factory to easily run 35s, grippy rubber floors with no carpet or an easy lift out carpet form revealing rubber floor underneath with drain plugs. I’m not saying it should be uncomfortable, but just that I use my trucks for their truckness. I don’t want to take a 45k dollar half ton out in the wilderness with all that leather inside and plush carpet and touch screens and other stuff to drain the battery. A true backcountry edition for sportsmen out there. I think they would sell a ton of them especially if they could price it low enough that it wouldn’t have to be someone’s only vehicle. If you could have a bare bones off-road edition (all money spent on making it an off road bastard and not a cowboy cadillac) and sell it for 30k I bet they would sell a ton!

      I’ll take one Rebel Machine, please.

      Born and Raised in Kenosha, WI where they made the Machine. I’ve seen a bunch of them, especially at the AMC Homecomings every year. And it’s not the first time Chrysler has used an AMC name, a little while back there was a subcompact concept car named the Hornet, and the Concorde name used on midsize cars in the 90’s and early 00’s was of AMC origin.
      (I’d take a RAM Rebel too, but prefer the Machine)

      Huge RAM on the tailgate…… DNA of the RAMbler Rambler ?

      Chrysler bought AMC so I guess they own the name !
