Hello all, I have been looking at my next expedition vehicle. I want some serious offroad-ability (which I currently have with my 4-door Jeep Wrangler), but also the ability to take my family of four plus camping/hiking/playing gear for up to a week. I'm also interested in mounting a large rooftop tent (or maybe small camper) and am interested in the ability to tow (trailer with couple of UTVs). Because I can't buy a MAN/Unicat here in the US (or afford one), I'm thinking that a full-size 4x4 pickup might be the best answer.
What do people think of the Ram Power Wagon? I like it because of the lockers - a real critical element of a 4x4 in my mind. Plus it's large inside with plenty of cargo space, and it should be able to tow what I'm looking at. But:
- It looks like it only has 1,500lbs of payload capability, which isn't a ton for the kind of trips I'm talking about.
- It doesn't have a TON of towing capability (as opposed to a regular Ram 2500, especially with a diesel).
- Am I giving up too much just to get lockers?
And just for kicks, how should I think about that relative to the upcoming AEV Ram?
Thanks all!
