- Meet the new CJC Off Road Power Wagon! While we’re known for our diesel builds, we figured it was time to see what the Hemi hype is all about. This truck is starting stock, but it won’t stay that way for long!

I'm from Saskatchewan, Canada. a lot of off road country here. I bought a New 2021 olive green pearl Ram Power Wagon with Ram boxes, This is the nicest truck i ever owned and drove, exceptional capability, just driving in 4x4 is enough to get you out of situations. Exceptional! outstanding truck! thanks for your video.
Finally, some new Power Wagon videos. I'll be interested to follow along to get ideas for my 2020 PW. Thanks!
Peterson’s just finished installing a fully optioned Carli Pintop on my 17 Ram 3500! It is amazing! I couldn’t be happier
So awsome i just bought a 2020 power wagon in june and have been wanting a Carli build. Interested to see what you do with it.
I've been breaking in a magnaflow mufflex muffler (without the resonator) for about 6 months now. Trust me when I tell you, this is the sound anyone could love. Right in the sweet spot. Big base sounds with minimal if any drone. Highly recommend this product. 👌
I have a 2024 PW on order. Can’t wait. I’ve been a Jeep guy for over 10 years. This PW will be fun. I’ve also been a Dodge truck guy for almost 50 years.
MPG comes up as it breaks in, you'll notice the biggest different around 7000-10000 miles. i have a 19 and love it, for how heavy this truck is it's really not that bad on gas. i'm seeing 12-14 (some times 15+ on flat highway driving) and my f150 i traded in only saw 14-15 anyway. can't wait to see what you do to it! first thing i did was delete the muffler. then rock sliders, and 35s. sits perfectly how i like it.
Yes, about time THE HEMI got some spotlight. I have been looking for Hemi power content online and there is very few. The first mod will have to be true dual exhaust (no Y pipe)and some cold air intake.
You'll wrap it around the rear axle if you take it off-road. So decide what you want to do with the truck first.
Love this! I have a 2010, I’ll be watching this build closely
badass -- can't wait to follow this build for inspiration! aside from the usual suspension mods i'd love to see intake/exhaust/tune with dyno testing.
Here’s our latest build update video: ruclips.net/video/-UNW1Lhswu4/видео.html
Me too!
Congrats! Awesome project truck and so stoked you guys swooped one up. Love mine and all I have on it at the moment are 35s. I’ll give you my dream build for ideas on yours. I’ll be building mine out at. CJC “soon” lol.
Thuren 1.5” coil level kit with 3.0 kings upfront and 2.5 kings in the rear. Thuren front and rear track bars. Fox steering shock. AEV 17x8.5 rims with the 27mm offset wrapped in 37x12.5 KM3s (less trimming and heating) or a Mickey Thompson Baja MTZp3. Carli ball joints and Synergy tie rod and drag link. Dethloff engine skid, Maple Offroad transfer case skid and rock sliders. Thuren front bumper with a Maple Off Road rear bumper. A 4.56 re-gear. Cherry on top will be the AEV Snorkel.
I’ve owned a 2006 & 2017 PW. Those trucks are a Beast BUT as mentioned in the video, you will not pass a gas station. This was the main reason I went with a 19 Ram 2500 Cummins.
Was it really that bad?
@@born2win259 with just 35x12.50s I was getting 10-11mpg average. When towing it would drop to single digits. With that said, we would say that it was the mpg but smiles per gallons that counted!! I needed a truck that I could have as a daily driver with better mpg.
@@PwWgn06 sheesh, I didn’t know it was at that level of mpg. That’s around Toyota Tundra territory.
@@PwWgn06 sheesh! It’s an awesome truck. I wanted a Power Wagon but I honestly wouldn’t do anything but drive it around town. I’d probably make some people cringe. Regardless, I want a ram rebel.
@@born2win259 you won't want a Rebel when you see next to a Power Wagon.
I just order a 2021 75th anniversary power wagon and will be here in October can not wait to see what you guy come up with
Just had a Carli Pintop put on my 2017 3500 Cummins at Peterson. It is awesome.
Thanks guys my truck rides like i'm on a pillow
The new power wagon is my dream truck. I'm obsessed.
Two items, on-board compressor for airing down and reinflating and a two-way radio install. I did a radio install, very clean almost factory look once it was all said and done.
Perfect timing. Thank you!
I actually watch this channel to decide what truck to get
Nice choice in color. I just picked up the exact 2020 blue PW in June and so far have installed your fog light upgrade, 35 Yoko G003 MT, Factor 55 hook, Magnaflow D-fit and Lomax bed cover.
Would be badass to see factory upfitter aux switches added to it to control lights and accesssories with factory look
Hydro Blue PW is about the sexiest truck to ever exist
That blue is hard to beat! 👌
Nice!! looking forward to see what you come up with! I went with a 2020 3500 Hemi. First non diesel for me in the last 4 trucks! YEAH!!! the Fu5ing MPG's are killing me!!! if you find or design a bigger fueI thank or secondary that works with Gas let me know!!! I'm only running on 35's but there is no gearing available yet for the new 3500 rear end!! I thought about the PW, but im building an Overland build and needed the Payload. Looking to see what you guys swap out. There is a premium on the PW with shocks, Suspension, Lockers....Thats what you guys build up so well! :). cant imagine peeps buying a PW and throwing on a Carli! Keep up the awesome work guys!!
I bought my RAM 3500 from this Peterson's in Nampa with Carli pintop, all options. 5 start sales and service. Got 10k miles on it, no problems at all.
I put an electric exhaust cutout on my ‘19. I would highly recommend it, as it sounds better than full exhaust systems, and goes back to stock sound with the push of a switch. I’ll be super excited to see how awesome it is after your mods. As far as I can tell nobody really does engine builds and superchargers on these ( probably due to cost) but it’d be awesome if you guys did the MMX drop in pistons/rods and a blower setup! That would really easy to surpass the TRX Hp/Tq figures.
Nice pick on the power wagon! I recently purchased a white 2019 wagon. Looking forward to what y’all can do with this truck. Wouldn’t mind seeing some easy power options and stuffing 37’s with minor trimming. I’m familiar with your products and am looking forward to seeing the outcome and flexibility of the suspension with different setups. Keep up the good videos!
Saw this video last week, and drove from Los Angeles to Nampa to get The Dominator on my 2020 RAM 2500 Cumins! Derik says “Hi” 😊
Those guys know what’s up!
Bought a Raptor last year, if I didn't get the Raptor I would have bought a PW. Love this platform and hey maybe ill get one in the future. Can't wait to see what you guys do with this truck. Would make such an awesome exploration vehicle with a bigger gas tank/cell.
Beast truck! Can't wait to see what CJC does with it 👍
40” tires and 5:13 gears is the sweet spot
With the 8speeds on the 1500s there's no after market regearing options because of the way the transmission and front differential is designed. I wonder if this carried on onto the 2500s
Serious on purchasing a power wagon soon!
Video's on the power wagon WILL be most appreciated!
pjasyl chech TFL trucks and TFL off-road channel, I also did lots of research before going for a RAM PW,good luck:
@@Hojjat98 I have been researching the power wagon for over a year now.
Yes i have seen power wagon review video's on both sites.
Originally considered the ram rebel as a purchase.
After VERY much thought decided on the POWER WAGON!
I am a avid hunter and fisherman.
The power wagon gives BETTER access for me to get to remote off road locations for both actives plus you get a winch, that could of been of use yo me in the past.
Love my power wagon. Best truck I have ever owned!!
Cummin or Hemi ?
@@rachaad 6.4 Hemi
Nice truck, Expedition One Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier, Upgrade the fuel tank to a 55 gallon and add a spare fuel tank where the spare tire normally goes. That's my suggestions for the build.
If I didn’t need the Cummins for pulling I’d have definitely got the Power Wagon. Super cool truck can’t wait to see what y’all do to it. That blue is beautiful
HAAA. !!! Love the shadow of the drone. 😆👍. Great truck too. !
I love the look of the blacked out stock wheels! I kept mine and added 37” Cooper stt pros. Looking forward to your build!
Any rubbing? Did you add wheel spacers?
Efrain I have spoken to a few that have a true 12.50 wide 37” tire and have little to no rubbing. The Cooper is 13” wide even though it calls itself a 12.50 and I get rub on passenger side sway arm at full lock only. No rubbing anywhere else. Looks like I have no need to trim either; no rub. Others with fallen 37” at3 report zero rub. I’m thinking of trying a 1/4” or 3/8” spacer.
Efrain I will be following your build for possible future suspension upgrade. #warrtrek Instagram
Awesome guys! Congrats on the addition.
I’d love to see some 6.4 performance mods
Ordered a 75th anniversary model, so stoked to get your light upgrade setup!
Awesome!!! Just got my 2020 PW a couple months ago, you guys will give me some great ideas for what to do to it!!!
You should get a patriot camper Pcor tray with the second winch and aux fuel tank. Then toss a quad or a couple of bikes on the back, and it’d be the ultimate weekend warrior.
Thats awesome! Always been a big fan of the Power Wagon. Have a dually because need it for pulling. Can't wait to see what u guy's do to it.
🤤🤤🤤 still wana see a Cummins PW from the factory one day though!
Agreed!!
How about just an e-locker on an $85,000 Cummins Longhorn.
scratchnbell no the same. I can get a pretty fully loaded tradesman PW for $50k and just add 35s to it and the payback period of what you just proposed even with fuel economy savings is over 15 years.
Tremor
Same
The Power wagon Hass to be the toughest looking truck on the road. That thing stock just looks awesome.
It sure is! But with 37s it will look even better!
I love the king pin top leveling kit w Thuren soft ride coils up front that I purchased from you guys for my 19 PW. 37” Toyo RT’s with the CJC Method wheels required no trimming. Added a Carli track bar and steering stabilizer to complete my truck. Would love to see performance upgrades. Can’t find a tuner for it currently but they’re supposedly in the works. Love that color too. Have fun!!
Man , bad timing. The 2021 , 75th anniversary power wagon just came out , and it’s insane !! Check out the interior , finally has a center console !!
Dodge doesn’t list their front/rear diff’s being E-lockers on PW. Assuming they’re stock, I wish the diesels could get the same drivetrain options. You’re gonna miss the torque. A few companies make a supercharger for the hemi - maybe consider at least a tune or at best, a blower. I did bower on my Tundra (with gearing). Cant wait to see what you guys do with the PW. 👍
That's going too be badass with the skills you guys have
This is exciting. I've been really interested in what you'd do with one if you had one!
That Ram blue is sick. Love it.
Welcome to the club! Hopefully you go with Carli on the build. If you do you will be in the minority, most seem to go with Thuren. I like my 2.5 Pintop kit. Come on...be different! Payload with Carli goes up to 1800 with the dual rate rear springs.
I've been looking for a new 4X4 for about a year now. Looked at everything. Late last night I saw a RUclips video of a new 2020 Power Wagon. Canadian video. So I pulled up Ram and built it up again. After seeibg this video I'm going to try and see how they look this weekend and consider trading. Jeep on steroids is one way to look at them. Down side is my trade-in...2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro in army green. Got a feeling its going to get ugly. Looking forward though to all of the new Power Wagon videos you'll have coming out. Especially if I can get one. Diesels are great but have no use for one or the up keep and maintenance on one.
I have a 2018 wagon and a 2018 3500 RCDRW Cummins. I move machinery with my 3500. Would love to be able to switch the rear springs on my Wagon for something with a smooth ride but increased towing capacity. The tow rating for me on the wagon is its only shortcoming. Although I realize why it is lower than any other model. Can’t wait to see what you guys do.
Hope to see 37s with no cutting and maybe some power upgrades. Not a lot you can do aside from cold air intake and exhaust upgrade. Love the truck
It would be interesting if you add AEV fender flares high rise ( for 40inch tires ), and add more suspension travel on carli kit, since the fender flare clear about 2 or more inches over stock fender. And maybe go a bit more extreme with long front arms for high speed desert running
Can't wait to see whats to come!
Looking forward to seeing future details
Nice, look forward to some great RAM videos, not too many out there.
👍👍
Very interested in this build. I've got a 2020 PW and I absolutely love these trucks!
“Run for their money” if you never tow anything. Rad trucks for sure!
What?? Dude, you're living in the past.
1. The Power Wagon is intended as an off road vehicle
2. It can still tow almost 10K lbs
3. The Tremor 7.3L is BY FAR a better overall truck/value than any diesel out there for 95% of buyers.
Haha...Spoken like a guy that for sure hasn’t owned many full size rigs, gas or diesel. Dang sure not a current day diesel. like I said rad truck if you don’t tow. Towing even a small amount like 10k (yes 10k is a small amount in today’s truck world) with a PowerWagon=equals slow AF up any grade and nets you around total dog sh!t for mpg’s. The Power Wagon is 100% the full size off road king, off the lot no comparison. So again like I said rad truck if you want to mostly off-road and occasional pull your pop up tent trailer, but apples to apples it is not. Having owned both a PW and to many to count full size diesels, and now a 19 Ram 2500 with full Carli kit from CJC, I speak not from ignorance but from my own experience with both rigs. Your turn go...
@@jmo2640 you don't buy a Power Wagon to tow all day, so why even bring it up. You buy it because it's bad ass looking truck that can go anywhere straight off the factory floor. If you scared of gas stations it's also the wrong truck to buy. Level it and put 35s on it and its done. A beast of a rig for overlanding and still tows more than enough for recreational uses. Purposes Built. Love my 2020.
@@jmo2640
I tow all day long with my 6.4l and 3.73 gears. Two trucks with roughly 5k to 8k# trailers...not long distances...and they do just fine. I also own an older 3500 with a 5.9 Cummins and 4.10 gears. Sure it tows better, but the question is one of value and whether the added 8 to $10k is worth the difference and fuel savings.
This PW comes with stock 4.10 gears, so the towing should actually be better than my trucks with the 3.73s.
Roll bar with round lights
On the 1500 I like the New Ram 1500, but on the 250 I like the F250 King Ranch.
Got my Power Wagon last weekend. It's freak'n awesome! And it gets 40 mpg. At least, that's what I told my wife. Haha!
40 MPG and comes with a year's supply of free gas right? We know the struggle haha.
@@CJCOffRoad imo when i bought my PW fuel economy considerations in priority were some where down below. -10, in my thoughts, and now that i have Olive ( as i call her) the considerations have dropped to -30 i bought it for being bad ass! fuel eco,? IDGAF. lol just want to get my weight rating up .
Here's the solution I'm looking for, and I'm sure a lot of others as well. I'm using this as my camp truck, and have maxed out the load capacity. 1400ish pounds. Rear end has sagged 2.5 inches, and the sway at 75mph is bad. I want to get my ride height back up, and have all my factory articulation without needing airbags.
It's actually a huge issue with these trucks. Ram 2500s and Power Wagons both have very low payload capability, and the coil rear suspension doesn't lend itself well to an easy solution. Even if there was some solution with the springs, that doesn't address the rating of the axles or the fact that the camper exceeds the legal GVWR of the truck. One work around that some of our customers have tried is using the Ram 2500 Mega Cab Cummins rear coils instead of the Power Wagon coils since they have a higher spring rate. That said, you never want to exceed the 8,565 pound GVWR stated on the door sticker.
@@CJCOffRoad Thanks for the reply. When I'm loaded up with water for a week out exploring, I'm right at the limit for payload, so I'm making sure I'm good there. Still want to get my ride height/articulation back though.
Dual exhaust would be a first for this type of build, at least I’ve never seen it. Beautiful truck
We planned on doing an exhaust, but this thing already sounds really nice in factory form!
I have a 2020 i want my 14k trailer rating back and front end leveled and smooth out some of the street harshness although very little just the rough edges of the ride. only stepping to toyo 35s so lift other than leveling not a priority
I use my 2010 PW everyday on my ranch. I would like to see some rifle / shotgun overhead rack or other options. I would also be interested in ideas on how to install communication radios and antenna. I used roof mounts and it was a pain removing headliner etc. thank you
The GJ motorsports third brake light replacement is a great option. It has an nmo mount integrated as well as baja designs lights. I was able to mount my Ham radio without punching a hole through the roof. Much easier install. CJC offroad installed mine. Amazing work
OK so I am REALLY happy to find this video I am getting a power wagon. So, I am SUPER interested in where you take this build. I'd like to see you get this closer to an AEV prospector XL. Obviously , you won't be able to get 41s on this truck, but something close to that would be cool.
We appreciate the support! 37s are about as big as you can go on these trucks without doing fiberglass fenders and firewall modification while still maintaining good suspension. In our personal experience though the Hemi trucks don't do well with larger tires. They simply lack the torque, and it really takes away from the driving experience to do anything over a 37 on them. Lots of people do it, but we personally like 37s or smaller on them!
That color! Is that what Dodge calls B5 blue? It looks terrific on the Power Wagon.
Here's the deal, with gas at $2.50/gal and you pay a $10,000 upcharge for the diesel engine - that buys you effectively free fuel for your gas truck for 48,000 miles. I don't keep my trucks for 50,000 miles so I would never get my money back on a Diesel. That means you have to drive your diesel truck about 150,000 miles to even up with the gas engine with fuel savings to offset the $10,000 upcharge for the Diesel. The numbers just don't add up. If you are not towing - go gas.
Congratulations on your new 2020, were is my Carli products, waiting for two months! Ask Paul! Not happy bro!,,,
This is sadly the reality of unprecedented demand mixed with unprecedented supply chain interruptions. Everyone is doing the best they can!
@@CJCOffRoad got it, however, it would be fair to let your buyers know the estimate on time to delivery. Peace. Christian
There are companies that make larger 53,53 gallon replacement fuel tanks for these trucks, I put one in my 2018 Ram
Can’t wait to see the comparison to diesels. 37in would look sick. Air lift suspension ??? Is it appropriate for this type of truck.
Unfortunately air suspension and ride quality/off road performance don’t exactly go together! Haha
Allot of us have RAM 1500's. Please include 🙂🙏👍👍
I just bought a new 75th Anniversary PW. Do you think 37s will fit on the factory bead-lock ready rims that come on the 75th Anniversary or should I buy aftermarket rims for the BFG All-Terrain 37x12.5x17 tires?
Since those wheels are +45 offset they won't work well. To fit 37s on a Ram truck we recommend a +18 to +27 offset wheel that is no wider than 9,” as well as some mild trimming of the plastic fender liner and maybe pinch weld depending on the tire. You could use spacers to make up that difference, but you would have to cut the wheel studs to make them work!
I wish it towed more, I love the truck.
@Ptguy0618 I like the setup and how it looks, my Rebel tows more already.
A bumper similar to AEVs front and rear! Also so kind of functional fender flares and functional hood
Conservatively driving I can easily get mid 14s for mpg. At school which is at a higher elevation it goes down a good bit. That being said the area has allot of driving up and down which hurts mpg regardless of elevation
Finally a Power Wagon!!!
I'm interested in the suspension upgrades for the 37s and thoughts on why not 40s. Right now I'm leaning towards the AEV route so I can have that option to do 40s, but that's only becuase I haven't seen anything in-depth about PW suspensions and I know you guys will cover it all. Also, sometimes there's confusion with what the numbers a lift says it will do vs. what it actually does when it comes to the PW. I'm also interested in a tuner where there could be an ECO mode for better hwy mpgs and off road mode. I see tuners for diesels a lot, but not for PW. Since mine is a DD and the majority of my ride is hwy miles, I'd like to know if there is an option. There are manual switch bypasses for the lockers on the older models. I'm wondering if they will make them and sway bar disconnect bypasses for the 19+ PW. I think the PW is such an underrated off road truck. The majority of the masses see them but don't know that it's essentially a 2500, fully loaded Rubicon with it's off road capabilities, steel bumpers, but even Jeeps don't come with a winch from the factory so I'm glad you're doing these videos.
Wow Toby really left Scranton and took a 180
I also have a 2020 PW. Mine is still bone stock. Have major axle wrap issues in deep wet snow. Any chance you had similar issues before the upgrade and have you had any issues since the upgrade
Axle hop on these Power Wagons is horrible due to the poor damping in the factory shocks, and rear suspension design. With a decent set of shocks like this system has, that hop is pretty much eliminated. Running a lower tire pressure also helps dramatically.
I love my Power Wagon and would love to see you guys do some kind of long arm kit on it. I know Dodge Off Road makes a kit but I don't know of anyone else.
These trucks already have radius arms with an extra joint, so there’s no need for long arms. It already has them from the factory!
COOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the truck, just concerned with the FCA quality issues.
Build this with Carli suspension, AEV’s fenders, on 40’s. With some 5.13’s and maybe a supercharger.
Sadly 40s just aren’t possible on these trucks without major suspension and functionality sacrifices. If you want to use a Ram off road with high performance suspension, 37s is kinda the limit.
CJC Off Road can you run the AEV suspension and AEV fender flares to clear 40’s? Seems that would work.
You guys have the pull with Carli why not see if they can build a shock upgrade for the AEV suspension.....
Just got back from Idaho's Dennis Dillion with my new truck. Looked at Peterson but they didn't have what I wanted but we're very helpful. Why can't we get that kind of service and prices in California?
No kidding! It would save the drive!
Live in Simi Valley had Dave Smith in Idaho ship my mega cab have what I wanted blows CA price away it’s sad but true
I live in Texas and flew up to Mountain Home, Idaho to get my ‘19 Cummins.
I wanted to order from Ram in March of this year. I did the build up online and talked to 3 different Dealerships in Northern California to Order it for me!! All 3 gave me the run around and wanted me to come in and buy something off the lot. They all jerked me around for 3 weeks or better and one wouldn't even call me back! I called Dave Smith in Idaho after watching the green truck purchase here, and had my deposit down 10 mins into my call!! The dealerships in California are just horrible! I had a Computer glitch with my new Hemi with 2000 mile on it and they didnt cover it under warrantee. They charged me $400 bucks to re flash the cpu because I put 35" tires on it and a Carli 2.5 suspension!!!
The worst part of owning a FCA product is having to deal with the dealers.
SLIDERS! No one makes a good rock slider for these trucks that can stand up to hardcore off roading. Although I doubt this is possible, bonus points if it also works with a power step.
It's definitely a hole in the market! These heavy trucks benefit from real protection.
That is a beast!
I love my power wagon!
is there any benefits to a 4 link, versus a radius arm?
Hey,great Truck Guy's !!!!!!
Need to be able to put a new torsion bar on it, without throwing codes. Any plans to make this work?
We've been exploring that and haven't come up with a good solution yet.
Would love to see a comparison between this and a new Ford Tremor package with the 7.3l gas motor if y’all can get your hands on one.
Hopefully eventually! Both are similar in terms of ride, but the Tremor has WAY more payload capability.
Always loved the new power wagon! Anybody have the infamous rear cab rattle in the 5th gens, particularly the mega cabs?
POWER WAGON!!!
YES!
heys guys, where is the best place to pick up a power wagon? Im in ca and don't mind traveling, but I don't want it to effect Ca emissions or anything.
Peterson’s in Id has extremely competitive pricing compared to the Ca dealers. There’s a reason we flew up there!
Awesome, do you still smog after the first 5 or 6 years as if you bought here in CA?
I call dibs on the first to buy when you sell it. LOL. But for real though. Just wish it was a Tradesman trim.
Will the power wagon have beefy suspension n beefy rear n front bumper
Like that winch on the bumper. Is that something ram or mopar has for a ram rebel.
I’d like to see it Supercharged!
