Yeah, the 5.2L R/T is a 4x4 down there (basically a Sport). They also have a good following of 'spec trucks'-- and I am on the mailing list/newsletter for a race team that runs a 3.9L RC very consistantly (140 mph track speed, out of a 3.9L!!!)
I converse with the guy quite a bit.
(I don't speak Portuguese, but with a good online language translator, we've done pretty good.)
