*CORRECTION* The Tradesman trim can get the Power Wagon package - you don’t have to get the actual “Power Wagon” trim level to get the off road goodies. First Ram review! I’m still working to get the rest of the brands like Subaru, BMW, Mercedes that I haven’t reviewed yet. Let me know what you want to see 👍
@@bobdearborn3130 your can. I have one. A tradesmans with power wagon option. You don't get the leather seats and infotainment system but everything is the same
@@bobdearborn3130 leather and infotainment isn't what makes it a power wagon. You can get those options on a bighorn or Laramie. The winch, sway bars, suspension, axles is what makes it a power wagon. You can also buy stripped down power wagons that don't have the big enfotainment center
@@Khaled-tx5xj absolutely not! 100% stock besides the bigger tires. I will say the wheels are a bit narrow and i feel wider 17" rims are in my PW future
@@MrCN173the narrow tires are actually better than wide ones. Find a TH-cam video comparison. I ordered a 2024 PW and intend on installing 35s. Not wide.
I think all Trucks 1/2 - 1 ton need to all come stock with 1 inch bigger rotors and either 4 or 6 piston stock calipers. For the price that these trucks are going for now days.
I really like the truck, but if I’m upgrading to a 2500 I want the payload and towing capacity. ...and yes, I understand why the payload and towing are reduced.
@@ikepete yes, it's fine. It's only rated less because a combination of stock offroad tires, disconnecting swaybar, and linear coils instead of progressive. It's just a liability, legal reason, but many many owners boast that the truck is near impossible to overload. I own a 2021.
I wouldn’t exceed the rating provided by manufacturers. I’d take the PW ALL THE WAY to the maximum number without concern tho. Buy the right truck for your needs
Thinking of getting a Ram Power Wagon pretty soon, thanks for the review. I'm probably going to factory order a new one once I decide exactly what specs I need. 💯🍻
19:35 Yes, i totally agree, Ford took advantage of the electric steering from get go and have variable weight, just try quickly shake wheel in speed or on parking lot to feel the difference, even my fleet 14 f150 has it...while Ram or FCA still don't do it. I have both trucks and that's certainly one of the things i like on F150 over Rams, however the feel of maintaining stright seems easier in my 13 Ram over the 14 f150, maybe they improved it now
I just picked up a 21 power wagon. I had 2007 ram 1500. But needed a little more towing. For me the payload and towing is perfect I don't need the full capacity of a regular 3/4 ton. Things is nice as a daily driver. It's a nice fit between a 1500 and true heavy duty truck
Just found your channel. Looks like you’re just around the corner from me… small world. (I recognize your neighborhood and JK boulevard. I’m over by the golf course.) My son and I ride ATVs and dirt bikes and I’m thinking the power wagon makes the most sense to get us to camp sites and down logging roads while carrying toys. Any other suggestions that are also good for mountain terrain?
If RAM updated the HD trucks to use the 1500's cab and bed I would consider one, but the current setup that uses the 4th gen cab and the 5th gen interior just doesn't look or feel right.
I keep seeing people say this but idk what the hell yall r talking about, you cannot tell the difference!!! i own a 2020 ram 1500 and ive looked at the 2500 the only dif i see from bighorn to bighorn laramie to laramie is the door pannel lower cubby and the steering wheel buttons. literally everything else looks the same. What differences r you so mad about?
@@aracecar4627 there is a definite difference. The cab on the 4th gen RAM trucks are physically smaller than the 5th gen trucks. They were able to fit the 5th gen interior into the 4th gen cab, but they kind of shoehorned it in there. One example of this is to look at the space between the rear view mirror and the top of the dash. On the 4th gen cab there is less space between the bottom of the mirror and the top of the dash as opposed to the 5th gen. Another example is the rear seat leg room and the flat rear floor in the 5th gen cabs versus the transmission hump in the 4th gen cabs. There is a definite difference between the two. The sunroof on the 2500s are also a single pane sunroof, because they use the 4th gen cab, whereas the 1500s are available with a dual pane sunroof, due to them using the new 5th gen cab. Another lesser gripe is the RAM Box. The 1500 RAM trucks have a RAM Box that flows much better with the body lines of the 5th gen design. The 2500 trucks carry over the more curved RAM Box that doesn’t look as good with the 5th gen exterior. Again, not a huge deal, but worth mentioning. A friend of mine was recently in the market for a new truck and we looked at both the RAM 1500 and the 2500. Sitting in them back-to-back the difference was glaring. It may not be obvious to you, but if you “keep seeing people say this” then there is clearly a difference that many people wish they would change. Also, it’s not something I’m “mad” about, but I’m not going to buy a $70k truck and then have them turn around and update the cab the next year only to have me kicking myself for not waiting for the cab I prefer. Here is a video that helps visualize some of these differences: th-cam.com/video/w2puibwsTxc/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps.
Will all the attention to detail is funny RAM missed the power tilt telescoping steering wheel. Since I'm at it, the missed out on the seat adjustment capability too. Two things Ford and GM still do much better with. At 6'4, the one thing I'd appreciate would be an upgrade option with added thigh support. Although trucks have the space, only full-size luxury cars and SUV offer that option.
Please,please, please tell me you did NOT engage the lockers in 4Hi in that mud pit? 🙏🙏🙏 Lockers are for use in 4Lo Rock Crawling situations ONLY 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
That’s correct lol, I didn’t have the lockers engaged while gunning it in 4hi. I turned them in occasionally in 4lo but never did high throttle or speed with them. I don’t think the front one even engages in 4hi if I remember right. Appreciate you stopping by 👍
Do you on all of these cars or do people lend them to you? And with the steering wheel are you saying that it is too light? Also how good do you think it would be at pulling a trailer with a say mustang or charger
I've never been in a PW, but ive driven a 2015 Rebel and a 2020 Rebel and the interior is night and day.. Hard to believe you're in an American pickup truck
Well, what do you expect on a best on class HD offroad truck?. They had to sacrifice towing and payload for better off-roading capabilities it might not tow heavy loads but the truck can be a fun toy to play offroad on the weekends.
@@7thkev519 you are right. So then I need something I can unhitch and have fun but also tow my toy hauler and toys. I'm shopping, my old gmc is good but its old and almost at 200k miles but still running. Any ideas ?? No fords btw lol
@@dev_IL666 how much does trailer weight and what are u putting on the trailer. If the trailer weighs around 6000 pounds then it should be fine. But if you're putting a pop-up camper then you need a different truck.
@@dev_IL666 well the thing is the ram power wagon is a truck for off-roading on the weekends, but it's not good when it comes to towing and payload. So yeah you do need another truck and you did say no ford so the only one I can recommend is the GMC Sierra 2500 it's the least offroad capable of the 3 HD trucks rams, Ford, GMC, the GMC Sierra AT4 has a locking differential but it activates by itself so you can't activate unless the system sees that one tire is spinning but also you can get the Duramax with the AT4 or a gas engine but the problem is that it's not offroad cable as the ford tremor or the ram. But the only truck that suits you is the ford tremor it's right in the middle it can and can go offroad but not enough to beat the ram but the choice is yours.
Good question and I have no idea lol. There were other people around while I was filming making noise and when I did this “voice over” for that part, I was outside so it could have come from anywhere but I don’t think it was the truck
6.4L.... 410hp and 429tq Power is lacking in comparison to 5.7L that has 395hp and 410tq. They should have left the power closer "450hp" to the srt version's at 485hp. Also find a way to add a center console not many people run with 3 peeps in the front anymore.
The 6.4 Hemi on the ram isn't meant to have high output power like the SRT. The 6.4 Hemi that is on the ram was specifically engineered to handle heavy loads and was built to get good fuel economy when towing, better reliability. Another reason why the 6.4 Hemi HD doesn't make more power because it has cooled EGR, heavier pistons, different cam, has the active intake and also has sodium-filled exhaust valves, tougher valve seat materials, aircraft-grade stainless steel exhaust gaskets and fasteners, and oil jets for cooling the pistons. All of that is meant for HEAVY DUTY purposes it has a greater broad torque on low RPMs for towing and accelerating. Here's a link if you need more information about 6.4 HEMI on the ram. www.allpar.com/mopar/V8/truck-hemi.html
The orange parking lamps you mean, they're just reflectors? I got a 2020 Ram 2500 Big Horn Night Edition, with the optional LED Headlamps. The Turn Signals are right below the bottom DRL Eyebrow, and are only on when the turn signal is activated. The left or right Fog Lamps also turn on, one for each side, when the left or right indicator is activated as well; not to mention they also act as cornering lamps when turning the steering wheel left or right.

All of these factory "off road" vehicles are for people with more money than common sense. Spend 60k on a truck that is terrible off road. OR, buy a base 2500 Cummins for 40k, and put 5k into it, and itll be way better. Same with Rubicons. You can buy a base model for half the cost, put 5k-10k into it and be way better than a Rubicon. And still save money.
Even a tradesman 2500 with cummins starts at 55k. For 69k you can get a fairly well equipped power wagon and doesn't need any modifications to go off road. As far as payload and towing capacity of the cummins... Most people don't need that either to tow a 7000 lbs boat or trailer.

...and yes, I understand why the payload and towing are reduced.
Then you understand that you can still tow and haul normal 2500 weights with it, it's more than capable.
@@starmc26 it may be capable, but should you exceed what it’s rated for?

What’s your fuel economy like
Google hemi flat camshaft issue.
Its called a mechanical 4 wheel drive system. They are much better and bulletproof. Last forever. Way better than shift on the fly electronic.

Can it plow?
