The reason people are suggesting a 3500 is for the better payload and stability when carrying a heavy payload. The ride won't be comparable to a 2500 with rear coils, that's a given. Yes, fuel range on the PW sucks. They get 14-16 mpg at best in stock form (tiny 33's), throw on some 37's...

Definitely go 3500 if you go diesel in order to get the leafs. A proper lift from Thuren or Carli and the ride will be great.

A few upgrades this week. New King 2.5's from AccuTune and the BMC Apex XL Baja Designs XL80/S1 combo I got lightly used from another member here getting out of his Tremor.

We've recently looked at late model Escape 21 and 23 as well as an Oliver Elite II. Much to my surprise, my wife said she far and away prefers the Oliver. I couldn't be any more pleased to hear her utter those words. It sounds like I will eventually get to acquire my dream camper, an Oliver...

Thor was the beginning of the end of their moniker having any real meaning.

I couldn't have said it any better myself.

GM junk, yuck.

Maybe some of that but most sheer stubbornness and a mildly concerning lack of fear for sketchy situations lol. I'd do it again if the opportunity presents itself but my current truck has a horrid turning radius compared to the PW and that would make things even more sketchy lol.

I ran the loop in my PW including Black Bear. It required a few 17-point turns just north of Bridal Veil Falls but it got it done with some patience.

I've had both and I find myself torn in this comparison. IMHO if you want to spend less then get the RAM Power Wagon, if you want a Jeep Rubicon Gladiator on a 3/4-ton chassis with a V8 get a Power Wagon. If you want the better overall truck that's an actual 3/4-ton in every aspect get the Ford...

Wrap guy as in the shop that applies vinyl wraps to vehicles. And yes, I am having him cover the steel shock bodies in PPF aka paint protection film. I will try running without the front and see how I like it before I make any other changes. I like the construction of Fox shocks better than...

Dropped them off with my wrap guy today to get covered in PPF. I hope to have them on the truck sometime next week.

I told them I was considered removing it then gave them my driving habits along with answering their standard setup questions.

I wanted to try the Fox but they did say they aren't as plush. Right now I have the factory sway bar on but I'd remove it before I'd pay for the Carli torsion. I've spoked with quite a few who have had it and most just ditched it with better results. I figure it's free to try that route first...

2+ months later and we are still waiting for updates. It's not like you have a family or anything lol.

They are great vehicles. I am half tempted to build our '22 but I am getting great use out of it as a commuter at the moment in stock form. Momma should be getting her new GX550 Overtrail in the next 8-16 months so I might consider lifting and building this one out at that time.

It might have dropped it 1mpg at most. Most of your fuel economy hit will come from the larger tires on these trucks. Noise wasn't that bad, again, the larger tires create the most noise. I really liked that rack and recommend it. I had no idea they were blowing them out.

Yes, I will keep the Fox 2.0's for that very reason. I see no reason to realign for a shock swap, a temporary one at that.

I know nothing about the lawsuit nor have I had any dealings with them in nearly a decade so I can't speak to any personal experience. I can say that two friends have had good experiences but that doesn't nullify all of those that haven't. I guess they should consider themselves lucky and steer...

Not sure how many trucks they build for municipalities, but they do supply the wheels for a large portion of the 450/4500+ trucks used by companies to build such trucks. Not sure if Skeeter Brush Trucks is still in bed with them?!
