I wasn’t going to say it, so I’m glad you did.

Jason always does a good job. He’s not wrong about the new Land Cruiser.

The Power Wagon is also on the 2500 Ram platform. The 1500’s with the 5.7L have MDS, but not the HD lineup.

If you’re looking to buy, I’d look at a Bronco or ZR2. Both have front/rear lockers, and will tow your trailer with ease. The Bronco will be more off road capable, but the Colorado ZR2 holds its own.

My daily commute is only 5 miles each way, so an EV has a place (probably better than my TRX). I just don’t love the idea of range limits and anxiety when I want to travel longer distances (I have a 650 mile one way trip in my near future). I think vehicles like my TRX are on their way out, so...

The range extender is game changing. I have zero interest in an EV, but you put the range extender as an option, and now you’ve got my attention. Scout did this right!

@the deputy thank you for taking us along on your journey!

Sticker price comes up a lot on the TRX forum. In 2021 the TRX started at around $70,000 before you started throwing options at it. Today the 2024 TRX starts at $98,500 for the same truck (in 2023 the TRX got an all digital display instead of an analog/digital comb). I love my TRX, but there is...

I think @IdaSHO pretty much nailed it with the Chevy comment. If you’re looking for a HD that can do some moderate off roading, I’d look at the new Chevy Silverado HD ZR2. They seem like a good option. The other option if you’re not concerned about the payload would be the Ram Power Wagon...

I just dug deeper into this. I remember on the AEV forum Dave with AEV said there was a way to make pre 2013 CTD’s work with the Raised Air Intake (apparently the 2013’s have some sort of active shutter system). It might be worth calling AEV to find out. The Missoula number is (406)251-2100

It will fit your 2012. Below is my old 2012 Power Wagon with the AEV Raised Air Intake. AEV used my truck to verify the “snorkel” would work on the gas motor as well as the CTD (AEV has a shop here in Missoula).

This may be my favorite truck currently on the interweb! Wish I had the cash!

Our local Chevy dealership has a ZR2 on the lot for $62,000. I couldn’t believe it. My wife’s 2019 ZR2 was around $40,000 brand new. I know the new ZR2 has gotten a much needed interior upgrade, but $62,000? Am I the only one who has a hard time with that?

Let me know when you can do this in a Forester

I don’t know. My 700hp TRX is pretty advanced in the fun department.

My wife’s daily is a truck just like yours and she loves it. We bought it new in 2019 and I think she has just under 25,000 miles on it now. The worst thing about it was the crappy headlights. We switched those out for LED bulbs. Huge improvement! Edit- just realized I posted on the first page...

I’ve owned a lot of Ram (Dodge) vehicles as my daily driver. The most miles I put on any of them was 60,000 before trading them in. My wife had a 2004 Honda Accord that we put 60,000 miles on before replacing it with a 2009 Honda Pilot that we put 80,000 miles on. She currently drives a 2019...

I’ve seen a lot of posts with the Hemi (5.7L and 6.4L) getting well past the 100,000 mile point. To be brutally honest, I will never own a vehicle as a daily driver or tow vehicle with over 100,000 miles. I don’t care who the manufacturer is, at 100,000 miles the vehicle goes away.

The Ramcharger is an interesting option. But getting rid of the V8 was a bad move. Truck people still want a reliable V8. The options were there to dump the 5.7L Hemi and upgrade the 6.4L Hemi and run it in the half ton. Instead Ram/Dodge/Stellantis killed the V8. This move could kill the Dodge...
