Wow......Ford brought out aluminum hoods first.... Yeehaw.... Ask some 2004-12 owners what they think of the aluminum hoods.
There is no AWD Hellcat.

He may be referring to the Track Hawk.

The SRT10 is most likely quicker on the street. TRX is big and heavy. It NEEDS more to outrun the SRT10

Ford did not make the first aluminum body parts on a vehicle! There was a race car in the late 1800's early 1900's made of aluminum and in the early 60's aluminum became more viable in the building of driveline and body's of vehicles. My 1992 Bonneville had hood herpes because of how GM tried to mate the steel structure and aluminum hood. If you live where corrosives are used to treat roads or where sal****er is in the air you will have problems with all types of metallic materials. I had 2 or the F-150's that you are talking about problems with and never had an issue but my OCD will not let me leave my vehicle with crap on it. Just my .02 and worth all of it.

Not anytime soon, the awd v6 is late 2017 or 2018 model year. The 707hp to on the awd system is not quite there yet. Talking 2020 right now. I just looked at the most recent order from Chrysler and the AWD is still not showing on the v6 like I was hoping to see. BTW this is the dealer ordering site not the retail consumer site. We sell both Ford and Chrysler Group.

I have a 2016 Charger V6 AWD as a company car. Decent car with plenty of zip and the 8sp is very nice. No complaints.

If they come out with an AWD Hellcat hopefully there's a way to disengage the FWD so you can still do smokey burnouts. I mean that is a pretty cool feature whether or not it's aimed at enthusiasts.

If this is going to production, we may finally see the 5.0 TT I've been waiting for!
That thing is hideous. Also pretty curious that they chose to only get 575 bhp out of the supercharged 6.2L, which has 700+ in the Charger. With the right supercharger, they could have gotten 575 bhp out of the widely used 5.7L Hemi, so why would they go through the hassle of using the more niche 6.2L?

I like it. Completely impractical for the vast majority of truck buyers, but it does show on some level that Fiat is cognizant of the need to continually improve their truck offerings. Initiatives such as this typically have some sort of payoff in production vehicles.
