If you have the time, Cirque of the Towers is amazing. You access it through Big Sandy at the southern end of the range.

Have you looked into the Boreas XT?

It probably had the 3.31 gear set. IMO, the 5.0L needs to be paired with the 3.73 gear set - which is an upgrade you get with the rear locker and increased GVWR option.

Thank you! I am located nearby in Lafayette, CO. I'm interested in the camper if you end up changing your mind.

Where are you located? I am interested in the camper but not the truck. Not sure if you're considering separating them.

I was in the same boat. I wanted the 36 gallon tank, max tow package, heated seats, etc. I was only seeing 5.0L and 3.5L with those options. I ultimately went with the 5.0.

The 3.5L is an upgrade compared to the 2.7L, so it does cost more, but a lot of times the 2.7L will have fewer options while the 3.5L will be the more heavily optioned model (for example, the max tow package and all that other stuff). So that's the other reason why you'll see the 3.5L models...

Do you always have the dogs on a leash when hiking in grizzly country? Or do they stay close enough to you?

I typically don't travel with a pet carrier as he's starting to get pretty big and doesn't like to sleep in a pet carrier. But I agree, a pet carrier with a sleeping bag over it would probably keep him warm enough. I'm skeptical about using an electric blanket plugged into a portable battery...

We have a small teardrop camper pulled by an F150. When it's just me camping, the dog sleeps with me in the trailer, but when it's my girlfriend and I, there is not much room for the dog. He's a 65 lb lab-pit mix. I put him in the back seat of the cab to sleep, but he has a short coat (no...

I think it's the rear gears more than the 10 speed. I have the 5.0L with the 10 speed and it has plenty of power and doesn't lag from a dead stop. I have the 3.73 gears. It doesn't feel much different from a 2.7L EB. I drive all over the Colorado mountains and have plenty of power to pass...

Do you have the 3.31 gears? I've heard the 5.0 is not very peppy with that gear set. Mine seems to have similar power and acceleration as the 2.7 EB ( I test drove many of these). The 3.5 EB is way more powerful than both the 5.0 and the 2.7 EB.

My 2019 5.0L is a super crew, FX4 with 3.73 gears. I’m in Colorado and get 20mpg on the highway in the mountains at around 70 mph. I get 18 around town in the summer and 14-15 in the winter. 17 mpg towing my very small travel trailer.

The 2.7 and 3.5 are both twin turbo. I'm not positive about the options in 2018, but I think they're probably all 10 speeds. At least that seemed to be the case for the 2019s. I have a 2019 5.0L with the 10speed.

Thanks, I'm in Colorado about 30 minutes from the Boreas shop. So I'll probably hold out for something to pop up a little more local.

Interested. Where are you located?

The Ram Powerwagon does not have a lot of payload - something like 1500 lbs which is similar to a half ton truck. So you'll probably be over weight with a camper in the bed.

Just another data point: I have a 2019 5.0L crew cab F150. I get 15-16 mpg around town, 20-21 mpg hwy. 3.73 rear gears. 18 or so mpg towing a teardrop.

I have one and love it. 2019 XLT with the 5.0 V8. Maybe his issue is with the 3.5 TT.

Dude, that was awesome. I feel the case is closed!
