    I know we're all waiting for the TRX but FCA deserves a lot of credit for keeping the Power Wagon in the line up.

    After 15 years I still have my 2005 Power Wagon and it runs and drives just as good as the day I bought it new. 128000 miles on it now and, we tow, haul, play and the truck has always been solid no issues with it. I do really like the new ones, and wish I had the 6.4 in mine (at the time the 5.7 was the only engine option) but I plan on keeping it as long as I possibly can, it has been a fantastic truck. Love the videos thanks for all the reviews.

    Totally enjoyed this video. I am a grandma that likes to RV and camp at the Nascar Races. I bought the power wagon for all the bells and whistles like the automatic side mirrors, toasting my buns when freezing with heated seats, a million cameras, the big screen in the dash, auto start, and more. I got beat up verbally by the RVing FB comm for low rated towing. But I only have a 25 foot Rockwood under 6,000 lb. I love my 2024 PW and would not change a thing. Well that’s not true, I put splash guards, tint, power side steps, bed cover, AND an awesome BACk RACK. I’m loving this thing. Payload by myself and my little RV be d……. It all is just perfectly perfect!! :)

    I just purchased a 2020 Power Wagon a couple of weeks ago, but I still clicked to watch your video when it popped up in my video feed. I really enjoyed your review and I’m embarrassed to admit I learned something new...where the Warn controller connector moved to! Yep, the low payload is a bummer, but we have just enough to tow our Airstream and I used those locking diffs just this morning to pull it out of our snowy spot in Montana. This is my second PW and I love it even more than the last. Cheers!

    • @Searchin4tone
      @Searchin4tone 3 года назад +1

      To me, the front/rear locking diffs is what makes me want this truck. I get the payload/towing deal, but to spend over $60,000 for a truck with subpar offroading capabilities that will leave you stuck with a tire spinning in the air would drive me nuts. You made the right choice. Enjoy going places where others struggle

      put rear air bags on the rear for towing you have all your payload and more. dump them to 5 psi unloaded and your progressive rate springs go right back to work as they were designed. I have a 2020 PW myself in that new olive green metallic i love my truck don't really miss the diesel at all .

    Great Review! I've owned a '13, a '16 and now a 2018 model PW. I have been blessed and own a modded Sami, a fully modded Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited Recon on 35's, AND a Surplus Desert Storm M998 Hummer. Guess what? 9.9 out of 10 times going out the door, I grab the keys to the Power Wagon! Whether it be a night on the town, Storm Chasing until the sun comes up, grocery shopping, road tripping to see the grand kids, cross country towing the Toy Hauler to grabbing bails of hay for the Burros. It does it ALL! And I feel safer in traffic, more confident that I will get there AND back on my own, and enjoy the comfort, luxury conveniences, fit, feel and build quality. Kid in me wants a TRX, every other part of me wants a 2021 75th Anniversary Edition when the time comes. The 8 spd trans and the big screen center stack are the only real wants, and perhaps a switch to one of the nice, unique color choices (green, grey, etc). Otherwise, my '18 is PERFECT.

    Your Dad's correct..
    My brother's red 1976 Power Wagon had a black vertical Power Wagon decal on it. It was a beast. He pulled a 24 foot loaded Uhaul truck, sunk in mud to its axle, out of a neighbor's yard, without any problems.. I don't know what size engine it had, but it got the job done. You would think RAM would put a Diesel in them, since they're called a, POWER WAGON..
    They should have GOBS OF POWER..

    Newly discovered your channel…not sure folks responded to the question about the logo…I agree it is reminiscent of the ‘80s…I first learned of the Power Wagon from the tv series, Simon and Simon…the one brother drove a Power Wagon.

    Yes that Logo was on some of the older Power Wagons. Found an example on the Google that was a 1975 model. Was a lot more simple and quite a but smaller comparatively.

    It can tow alot like a beast but it truly struggled to get out of that small 2 foot ditch.

    First thing I did with my 2020 ram PW was gears, rcv shafts, and put some 17inch beadlock methods paired with 40 inch general grabber x3s.
