thoughts on full size

The DEF tank makes a larger tank in the Diesel a no go. I suppose if you deleted, you could put in a larger tank that came in the 2010 era trucks. My 2017 Ram 2500 CTD only has a 26 gallon tank.

The rubber mat keeps moisture from getting down to the factory installed mouse nest material. When that stuff gets wet, it stays wet, and corrosion begins. No carpet for this guy. No floor mats either. They just keep the carpet nice, and as mentioned, slip around on the rubber mat. JMO YMMV

Your truck has a 31 gallon tank like every other 2017 CTD Ram and just like my old 2014 and my current 2019.

My bad. Some 1500’s get the 26.
Some places listed the 2500 at 31-32 gallon. I’m not sure if that’s two different tanks with two different part numbers or variation in the product.
Thanks for the correction.

the diesel does have a way better range. It seems all the aftermarket tanks are solely for diesels .
The more I think about the ram, the more I like the tradesmen PW package, which is Hemi only.

That's the only way I would buy the PW. I don't need or want all the fluff and ridiculous price of the regular PW.

I looked into a Tradesman PW last year. It was little under $40k. That would’ve been a good buy. But since I was going to use it as my only vehicle, the off road prowess vs MPG was not in my favor. It would be a great 2nd vehicle though. I just don’t have the room to park another vehicle.

Around here a Tradesman with the Power Wagon Package is the same price as a base Power Wagon. I'm guessing the resale and buyer base would be better for the Power Wagon.

 

[phsycle]

Yeah, resale wise, you'd probably be better off going with a base PW. In the US, the MSRP looks to be $3-4k less for the Tradesman PW. But the Tradesman takes out certain "standard" options in the base PW (i.e. Uconnect 4" vs 8" screen). Optioned the same, the pricing is probably a wash. But some don't want the extra stuff (me included), so it's nice they at least offer that package in the base Tradesman trim.

 

[Todd n Natalie]

I wonder why the difference in pricing vs a Tradesman / Power wagon in the US vs Canada?

If it's 3-4K cheaper in the US to buy a Tradesman with the Power Wagon package vs a 'Power Wagon', why wouldn't FCA follow the same pricing structure in Canada?

The Tradesman Power wagon package with less equipment is more expensive than a base Power Wagon? I don't get it...

I put a 52 gallon in mine

There are some 2019 tradesmen with the Power Wagon package floating around for 38k . Which is way cheaper than Power Wagon. There are quite a few 2016-2018 to be had the low to mid 30's.

I know I had a Full size Ram, and said it was too big. I sold it quickly after a bad experience on the trail. So why in the world would I look at another one. To be honest, a friend's family member wanted it bad and was willing to pay me in full for what I bought it for. I didn't really have to think about much and just sold it. I should have given it a second chance.

I know they are big, IMO alitte too big but so are all full size. I think the tundra is actually wider than the Ram.


Here is the way I am looking at it,

Full size:

Ram 2500 tradesmen PW package

Pro: its built, some better tires and a shell done! Best price I think.
Cons: Bad gas mileage,/ very large

Toyota Tundra,
Pro, its a toyota / a ton of aftermarket support / 36 gal tank
Cons. No locker / needs the most modification /will always look a mall crawler/ bad Mpg

Ford F250:
Pro, Comes pretty well set up, locker, manual locking hubs / a few inches shorter than the ram/ large fuel tank.
Cons, most expensive, worst factory geometry .

Midsize,
Will all have pretty bad Mpg once they are built. Smaller gas tanks = less range.
WIll always be annoyed by the size of the bed or the interior space.
Will cost the same if not more than the full size, once you factor in suspension, bumper , winch, shell etc..

A crew cab super duty is significantly longer than a power wagon. It’s very close to the length of my mega cab.
