We've long known that Jeep will have a pickup based on the current generation JL Wrangler. For a few years now, we've also heard rumblings of a Ram midsize pickup. Now, suppliers have confirmed to Automotive News that Ram will build its own midsize truck, and it will be body-on frame.

Earlier this year, we reported that the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Development Truck put together by Chevy and American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) for the 2017 SEMA Show was headed for production. Now Chevy has confirmed that by announcing the 2019 Colorado ZR2 Bison. The new performance variant of the midsize pickup truck builds on the already-capable ZR2's equipment list with more off-road gear, including an optional snorkel intake.

Like most autonomous vehicle concepts, the 360c adopts a tall, somewhat boxy shape to maximize interior volume. Because there's no driver's seat to work around, the cabin can be configured in a number of ways. Passengers enter through a wide gullwing door, which could lead to a spacious living room setup with a seat that can convert to a bed, or a mobile conference room with an interactive table and coffee maker.

The Conti came with just 27,000 miles on the old 385-series engine and with a three-speed automatic. Instead of upgrading the stocker, Uddin found a 6.0-liter Mercedes V12 and got to swappin’. The new engine makes a healthy 420 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque with a Mercedes four-speed automatic but the same 2.75 gears in back.
