This Is How Europe Does Full Size Trucks

Under the hood, JB is taking a different tack, too, furnishing each 5.7L Hemi V8 with the necessary stuff to run Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - a.k.a. propane - instead of gasoline. The result isn't much more potent, cranking out 428 hp to the Hemi's stock 395, but it is kinder to the environment. JB Car Design says the Ram achieves reductions of about 50% in hydrocarbon emissions, 85% in nitrogen oxide, and 95% in soot.

Propane, it should be noted, is significantly cheaper than gasoline in Europe, so the fact the truck only manages around 16 miles per gallon isn't an issue.

And then there's the driving range, which JB says is more than 2,000 km - about 1,250 miles - thanks to a pair of tanks with a total combined capacity of 352 liters, or about 93 gallons. If the tank were any bigger, there would be very little truck left.

Of course, JB Car Design's tuned Ram 1500 offers plenty of the more traditional tuner truck stuff, too - things like a modified grille, a custom hood with conspicuous black vents, an engine skid plate, and big 10-inch wide wheels wrapped in 33-inch-diameter off-road tires. On the roof, the truck can be optioned with a curved LED work light to match an available custom steel cage over the bed.

Now, we've got bad news and worse news. The bad news is: JB Car Design's Limited Edition Ram 1500 is priced at about €120,000 - roughly $134,000 US, at the current exchange rate. Worse, even if you have both the money and the desire to buy one, if you live in the US, you probably can't.
