Anybody See The Offroad Goat?

I was browsing some truck mags earlier today and saw that MOPAR has come out with a kit as an answer to the ford raptor, i think its pretty cool and not bad looking...something like it adds 14 inchs of suspension travel and a few other things for a price tag of like 7k starting out up to 14k...i'll try to find a picture when i get a chance...what really caught me as cool was it can be added to any of the rams from what i gathered...

The Torque Report had a write-up on this which included the Mopar press release. There are a couple of pictures but I'm not sure if they're pictures for the package or if they're stock photos of competition Rams.

 

TTR story here.

Christ, thats $20K.....wow. If you had the money I guess, Id like it better than that ford thing though.

I like these new rams they're coming out with a lot more than the previous generations.

yes i love the rams, and this package really brought some shine back to mopar yes its kind of expensive but how robust it is to be able to go on any of the newer man rams makes it a great selling point to those die hard mopar fans that want the raptor but not the ford...i wish gm would follow suit and offer something like this

I think the GMC all terrain is the GM answer as far as this and the raptor go

Maybe the dolts at Top Gear (US version) can do a compare between the Ford and the Dodge. I saw their "test" of the Raptor and was impressed with the way it handled the rough stuff at speed. I can't get over how anyone can get 2 and half tons to just land after a jump and not even rebound once. I don't have any use for it myself, but was still impressed anyways.

This may be off topic somewhat.

 

But I have seen the movie: The Men Who Stare at Goats.
