If you need a true heavy hauler, then the Power Wagon might not be the best fit. I had a 2012 Power Wagon and never had an issue with payload for my needs. From what I read from the OP, the Power Wagon might work. It’s an oversized Wrangler! Another option for the OP could be a Chevy Silverado...

I have so much want for this truck. Just can’t justify the want. This thing is **************!

Why not a Ram Power Wagon with a Carli Suspension System? - From the factory you get Front/Rear Lockers, 12,000lb Warn Winch, and a Disconnecting Front Sway Bar - Put a Carli Commuter Suspension Lift on the truck and run 37” tires...

The wife‘s daily driver is a 2019 ZR2 with the gas motor. The only extra option was for the orange color. When it was new we paid $40,000 and I thought it was a pretty fair price. That same truck is considerably more in 2025. I’m not sure it’s the same bargain anymore either.

I lean towards a Bronco Badlands. 35” tires, front/rear locker, and disconnecting sway bar. I also believe it will be a more comfortable daily driver. At 6’8” I fit in a Bronco comfortably, where the Jeep I’m stuffed in there and miserable.

Traction Boards are a great idea and an easy tool to have and use. https://maxtraxus.com/collections/4x4-traction-boards?srsltid=AfmBOormZLzWgcUKNlithc43J9ziy2LX5BG0RCA9vsBX5ApNeo1GFIAf

Disregard- I misread the years AEV offered. My bad!

AEV could be an option https://www.aev-conversions.com/product/aev-front-bumper/#select-engine

It’s not terrible looking. While I don’t expect it, if you put the 6.2L Hellcat under the hood and an AWD setup, it could be a fun street truck.

So is it a “Ram Maverick?”

This would be a great option compared to the Colorado ZR2.

I agree, the auto 4WD is a nice setting. Ram and Ford have it in the half tons, but still not the HD lineup. My wife’s Colorado ZR2 pretty much lives in the auto setting from the first snow fall until near the end of March. It sounds silly, but after having the auto setting myself, it’s almost a...

If you haven’t watched it, here’s a good Power Wagon video

I had a 2012 Power Wagon and loved it. If I was stepping back into the HD market it would be high on the list. Great off road capability and good ride quality. I’m not a huge fan of the rotary dial shifter on the new Ram’s, but I’m sure you would get used to it. And yes- the snorkel/raised air...

Scout is doing the same thing with what they call the Harvester package. It’s a gas powered range extender. I prefer this idea over a pure EV. @driveby kind of nailed it with his analogy.
