I don't think you will ever see the truck that you discuss ,from everything that I have heard ,read and seen Europeans are of the beleif that you cannot make money with trucks. That along with the long rumored talks of cutting Dodges full size truck line completly leads me to belive that a new Power Wagon is a pipe dream. I don't take any pleasure in saying this but I would be floored if it ever sees more than the concept stage.
To be completely honest I dont think they have improved upon the original. Then again can you improve on perfection ? It looks to plastic , it reminds me of a new Nissan p/u plastic and tacky ( maybe tacky is too strong a word). When did trucks go from being big , brawny and tuff to styling exercises?
Don't get me wrong I would take the engine in a heartbeat.
If you love the concept I am sorry if I offended you,I still say you cannot improve on the looks of the original.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Happy Holidays if the two above don't apply.
