Not too long til this year's events. Hoping to do the ride and drive of a Rebel and just maybe get to see this TRX. But won't be too much longer until the production truck is out...and then some really hard decisions got to be made!!!
</woltlab-quote>My guess is, the TRX won't be shown for a while as FCA wants to keep the focus on generating sales, which means promoting trucks people can buy now.Having the TRX be trotted out only draws attention away from the vehicles available for purchase, their new features, and performance details. There is the argument that the TRX draws people to other Rams, but the absence of the TRX at the Detroit Auto Show, the LA Auto Show, the Texas State Fair the year after it was introduced, etc. indicate to me that Ram wants people to focus on production vehicles for now.I do, however, expect to see it at things like the Cars and Coffee car show as that venue does not focus on production vehicles anyway.While I would like to see more of it, if I had to choose between ogling a concept and preparing for a production release of a new vehicle based on that concept, I'm glad their attention seems to be making it available. I think you will see a lot of these on the road and I think FCA is going to be making money hand over fist with them for quite some time.I am, however, having a hard time picturing it with a less glorious, but production realistic paint job. The concept's 30 something coat paint scheme is unreal. I'd shell out some extra cash to get a vehicle with a paint job like that (not $20,000 more, mind you), but that will not likely be an option. So I'm trying to picture that body style with a Delmonico Red production paint scheme and am just not able to do it. That concept red is too alluring. I can't see the thing in any other color (and I'm scratching my head about why the DT Rebel's are not available in my favorite color, which causes me concern - what if the TRX is not initially available in it either? What will I do then? Xanax?).
