A refresher: a...

One Ram owner, Tom Stoll, has given up on waiting for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles [NYSE:FCAU] to offer the supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 known as the Hellcat in a pickup truck, so he went out and had Master Technician Kevin Byrnes of Midland Chrysler in Midland Ontario, Canada build him one. Several...

Pickups have evolved so far beyond their utilitarian roots, it's tough to remember how bare-bones they used to be. Sure, you can you find a cloth-seat, single-cab stripper with AM/FM? It'll be akin to finding a 10th-grader who drive stick: They're out there, but awfully rare. On that note, Ram...
