Fiat Chrysler has taken advantage of the Texas State Fair by releasing a brutal new [concept truck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offroad-vehicle-concept), dubbed the Rebel TRX, whose appearance is rather honest in that it's pretty clear that this is a vehicle that isn't designed for relaxed jaunts around suburbia, but is better suited towards crushing [off-road conditions at high speeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arctic-trucks-toyota-land-cruiser-250-at37).

This particular vehicle comes equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter [HEMI V8](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charger-daytona-electric) engine that is capable of churning out as much as 575 horsepower, making the vehicle more than capable of hitting top speeds in excess of 161 km/h. What makes this speed figure all the more impressive is the fact that it also applies to off-road conditions, something that's made possible by the inclusion of boosted suspension technologies and increased ground clearance.

This pickup truck is an excellent option for people who don't just like to traipse over dirt and rocks in an ungainly manner, but like to maintain speed off road.
