This may be the most impressive new capability of the all-new Tacoma.

The new Ram 1500 Rebel is the biggest and baddest factory half ton Dodge or Ram truck of the modern era, but at the 2015 SEMA Show, the Mopar crew has taken this rough and rugged factory package to an even more extreme level – with a fairly brief modification list.

This past Friday, the Chrysler Group teased a few of the vehicles that they are bringing to SEMA and while we were enamored with the prospect of an all-wheel drive Dodge Challenger – there were also teasers of what appear to be the Chrysler 300, the Ram 1500 Rebel and a Fiat 500X which will join the AWD muscle car in the huge Mopar display.

The 2016 Tacoma is all-new, but some of its important updates ride in back.

Have you been pining over the COPO Camaro, the Ford F150 Raptor or the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, but there is no real way for you to afford the real thing in the near future, you will soon be able to park a Lego version of these legendary performance vehicles on your desk for less than $20.
