I don’t remember what trim the truck was. The problem is in the new Power Wagon, the locker/axel disconnect are in the same place.

So while getting the oil changed today I saw a new 2019 HD Ram in the showroom (not a Power Wagon). With excitement I opened the door, slid the seat all the way back, climbed in and smashed my knee on the dash. As I checked to make sure the seat was all the way back (and cuss like a sailor) I...

This is what I’m thinking too. I’m on my second HD Ram, and while both have been good to me, I’d like to see some competition.

I like the interior updates on the 2019, but not enough to give up my 2012 (paid for with 57,000 miles on it). I’m hoping that in 2022 there will be a new body style and a more powerful Hemi under the hood. I’d think about a change then.

The thing that holds be back on the Gladiator is the lack of a V-8. I’m sure for most folks the Pentastar will do the job, and the EcoDiesel will tempt others. I just think the power from the 6.4L Hemi would be an amazing combo with the Jeep Truck. I’d be good with the 5.7L Hemi (I have one in...

I’d rather have more truck than I need than the other way around. If you’re debating on the F150 being enough, I’d say the answer is no.

I have high hopes for the 2022 Rebel TRX and the 2022 Ram Power Wagon. Those two trucks will be high on my list around then as my truck will be 10 years old and near it’s time to be replaced.

Thank you for the response. I hope something like this is an option for the Gladiator. I think the front seat room is comparable with both models. Side thought/rant: why is it the shortest guy is always in the Emergency Exit row on an airplane? There should be a minimum height restriction for...

I’m just wondering if anybody has any experience with this? While I love the new Wrangler, at 6’8” I could use a little more leg room. http://extendmyseat.com/brands/Jeep.html

As cool as this engine is, am I the only one who would be let down if the power is less than 500hp/500lb ft of torque? I know the torque curve is different, but the 3.5L Ecopoop in the Raptor is 450hp/500lb ft of torque. Being honest, I’m also disappointed in the 6.4L Hemi in the HD Ram trucks...

This screen grab is for a Power Wagon with the Tradesman package. $43,000 with front/rear lockers, 12,000lb Warn winch, and a disconnecting sway bar. Hard to argue with that kind of value.

The thing I’m curious about is the step in front of the bed on the 2020 GMC. It looks cool, but I wonder if that’s not asking for trouble down the road? If that thing isn’t sealed correctly all your going to do is trap moisture and dirt (as well as salt from places that use de-icer on the...

I prefer the step built into the Chevy bumper, that would be nice. I don’t mind stepping on the corner of my bumper, but that step looks cool. I don’t need a multi-piece tailgate.

Anyway- back on topic... An Extended Cab Shortbox Super Duty with Power Wagon capabilities has potential!

As a Power Wagon owner I’ve always loved my truck and what it’s capable of in stock form. If Ford enters the market it will create competition for Ram in a segment they’ve owned since the Power Wagon was reintroduced in 2005. Ram is even threatening to compete with the Raptor in the near future...

Just went through all 500 pages (ok, 31 pages) and this is a great build. I appreciate all the detail you’ve put into this thread.

I'll be curious about the final price tag. i think it's a cool truck, but I don't think it's going to be cheap.

Take a look at Dennis Dillon Dodge. I bought my 2012 Power Wagon from them, and if I was in the market today for a different vehicle they would be the first place I would look. Truly the easiest vehicle purchase I've ever made. Zero hassle, zero pressure.

I was going to suggest a Power Wagon, but if you drive a lot the fuel economy may get old. I'm averaging around 12mpg in town, but I average around 8,000 miles a year, so I pay no attention to the fuel economy. It's possible the newer Wagons with the 6.4L Hemi and 4.10 gears get better fuel...

I agree- there's a lot of options to explore (Carli, Thuren, etc.) but living in Missoula I had hoped to support a local company. For now I'll just run my 285/75's and make a decision on a lift when these wear out.
