Tremor versus Power Wagon

[dcole]

Looking for reviews/feedback on the F350 Tremor versus the 3500 Power Wagon and have not been able to come across anything in depth here in the forums?

No such thing as a 3500 Power Wagon. Only 2500. Never owned one but have friends who did. Excellent truck for off roading as long as it fits on the trail. Very soft suspension - which helps make it so good off road (lots of articulation) but that same soft suspension means minimal payload. You're not going to put a heavy camper on it without substantial upgrades to carry the weight. No diesel engine available in the Power Wagon either so if you want a diesel you'll have to go Ford.

new 2500/3500 rebel is more comparable. diesel option, rear locker standard and similar suspension to the power wagon but with more payload capacity. The Tremors I think have a torsen front diff but not 100% sure, similar to the raptors. Power Wagons have front and rear lockers standard plus winch standard. The new Rebel can come with a winch but not with a diesel.

Diesel options: Tremor or Rebel
Gas options, Tremor, Rebel and Power Wagon. If payload isn't that much of a concern, Power Wagon all day long. Disconnecting Swaybars, F/R lockers, Winch, and can fit 35s stock no problem. level, 37s no problems.

i think the rebel is only available in 2500.

Didn't know, if so, what a miss by Ram. They need a 3500 to compete with Ford 350 Temor variant

You can order the Tremor with a winch with either the gas or diesel engine. Ram limits the factory winch to gas engines. Really it comes down to the question: "do you need the payload capacity of a 3/4-ton or 1-ton truck?" If the answer is yes, which I'd assume is the case since you're asking about 1-ton trucks, then skip the Rams (even the Rebel is only available in a 2500) and get a Tremor.

If you need a Jeep-like vehicle with more space and payload than a Gladiator, the Power Wagon is great, but its payload rating is comparable to a 1/2-ton truck.

This.

Comes down 100% to if you need the payload.

If I was to start over, and put a RTT or a topper on one of these, hands down it would be a PW with a full Thuren Fabrication susp, 37s. Keep it light and nimble.
I do love my Ford's(and my Carli/King's), but the PW with the 5link susp, especially with Thuren magic, can't be touched by a Tremor IMHO.
