Know what you mean! Did you see the 5-bolt wheels in the
pics?

Latest (no way to confirm or not :-( ) from someone out of the
Brampton plant is :

Engine choices are 3.7 V6, 4.7 V8 and a H.O. 4.7 V8
No 5.7 Hemi or the 6.1 Hemi either and so far there is no plans
for them to be included at this time !!

The 4.7 H.O is up in horsepower but by how much is not known.

The taillights (Liberty and new Durango ) and a standard door handle
are all cost savings for the company and make the building of the truck
or car easier and faster

There will be a RT, not a R/T. The slash has been deleted. Their new
sports packages will be RT just like the durango and the magnum

The 4.7 H.O will be in the RT along with some other things like a larger
standard wheel package and a modified suspension to name some
of its features.
