- Is the Power Wagon the 3/4 ton Raptor? No. Is that a problem? Not in my book.

I love that you're equally comfortable and good at reviewing off-roaders, pickups, family cars, or performance cars. Not many YT reviewers I've seen can do that. Nice review and nice channel!
For folks that live 2-10 miles of dirt or worse roads off the beaten path, this is a go-to truck. You’re getting in and out in nearly any road condition!
Just picked my new one 2 weeks ago and I am absolutely loving it!
What are you getting mpg on highway?
@@TheSquiggyacfd 16-17mpg on highway for me, but in town it's dismal ~11mpg. New so not fully broken in (1400miles).
Someone somewhere is planning to put a Hellcat’s supercharger in that monster.
Jose Manuel Ruiz actually I was thinking helephant or the big block push rod Mopar answers to fords 7.3.
Yes.. yes i am.
Another great job Sir.
This was a great review. Thanks! I just bought a used 2019. Absolute monster of a truck
i absolutly love my AEV Prospector Power Wagon. I use it to take my 25" 10,000lbs toy hauler trailerwith 3 450 quads in off road beach sand ans dune sand. lockers are awesome. Pulls hard all 4 wheels. true 4x4. The original 4x4 truck.
Took both out for a weekend. The rebel is hard to beat. Its literally a car like feel in a very capable truck. The PW is stiffer and comes with a ton more options. Boil it all down in my case, I needed the 1 more extra seat. Wish the Rebel had a bench option, front and rear locker and disconnecting front sway. Would have gone Rebel without blinking.
Excellent review as usual. 👍
8:06 That Silvio Dante look tho...
Nice looking rugged truck
Very thorough review. Thanks.
Most people don’t use their HD trucks as intended. Sacrificing payload and towing for off road is a smart move. It more fun to hit the trails than head to Home Depot to get over 4,000 lb’s of Quickrete 😂
Nice review
This truck is bad ass!
Perfection
I want one!
I just bought a 2020 and seems identical.
PW is a 3/4 Raptor. I would argue this model is more inline with the previous gen. If TRX comes true then this gen Raptor will have a real competitor. GM has a off road setup at every level in trucks. If I'm not mistaken the new srw 3500 can be option with a off road package. I read Ford may bring a something in this hd segment.
Power wagon es una súper Camioneta tiene fuerza y estilo ... RAM es RAM
Very good review of the 2019 RAM POWER WAGON, and you seem to really know the vehicle, as when you are describing the vehicle, you don't stumble at all Well done, and keep up the great work.
Air suspension would unfortunately limit articulation unless they designed a new, custom setup for the power wagon.
Top car ! I loved ...
TY Alex 👍🏼
Thats one big boi
Had a 2018 Larami, trade it in for a Jeep JL Sahara... I miss My power wagon....
The biggest baddest sticker price to.
7:45
Alex hits me with the Stink Face
Air bags will pop on this when heavy offroading
speterbilt also a problem on the Chevy ZR2. Just pull the fuse
Alex did you get a new camera?
how to sum up the Power Wagon its a American Pick Up trying to be like an Australian UTE. as for towing it may not be as much at the other RAM models but here in Australia its pushing it any more and you need a truck license Max GVM with a car here is 4,500kg(9,920ib) load or 9,000kg(19,841ib) with a trailer. as a farmer needing to tow heavy shit in from town i would buy one the problem is we had to fix our tractors again (that's what we get for buying a New Holland tractor) and we have don't have much money left.
I have never driven a truck with the 6.4 but the numbers are only marginally better that the 5.7
I have a hard time keep my foot out of it to know if it gets good gas mileage..My 2012 got good gas mileage until I bored and stroked it to a 6.7 liter. Now I have a 2018 PW and towing a 27 footer it gets about 12 to 13 mpg. But it is hard keeping your foot out of it.
Power Wagon don’t care!
2015 96,000 miles transmission and differential both took a shit! Only went off road a few times to see what kind of trails it could take, did good! Only pull my camper with it like once or twice a year! Made in Mexico, what’s the catch DODGE/RAM?
Hi Alex. Do any of the 6-passenger ram trucks come with shoulder belt for the center front seat?
Robber Baron No.
Is it possible to upgrade the rear suspension to give you better payload and towing while keeping the most of the off road capabilities?
One word - Carli
Bags 🤷♂️
Overlanders' dream
That would be Toyota Land cruiser. $90k and proven aroun the world.
However, this would be a nice back up!
Rx, wrong Aussie's are all over this and the ram with their Overland Conversions....look it up on TH-cam buddy...
How is this any kind of wagon?
Nevada is the perfect state for this Truck
So based on the description you gave regarding the sensor placement... does it actually have radar / adaptive cruise control? That would be a big selling point for me.
Matt France They do have radar cruise control and collision mitigation systems.
@guy proulx I'll assume you also consider hill descent control, exhaust braking, and downshifting "brakes". But you are pretty funny!
Yes they do, depending on options and what package you get a long with the PW package.
Simon & Simon!!!
Leather in the PW Finally!
Jackson Lewis My 17 has leather. 💁🏻♂️
ok thats new to me i must have missed when it became avalaible in the PW
guy proulx, when you spend hours upon hours in your truck and do over 30,000 miles a year the luxury is nice. It may be an off road vehicle, but I didn’t buy it to drive a spartan stripped out truck.
Power Wagon Diesel would be the ultimate. Too bad they don't make it. Throw a Hawk Camper on the back and it becomes top 3 road tripping setup.
I so wanted one of these until I heard the payload and how capability, or lack there of. What's the point of getting a 2500 and rigid frame if it can't how as much as a 1500? Because the rebel is so weak in the 1500 compared to regular 1500s. I don't get why the off capabilities make u trade off the haul how capabilities? I mean wouldn't it better to get the 1000ft lb torgue model 2500 and just swap out wheels, tires, lift, bumper, grill, and add a winch? Cause basically it's all about the looks for off roaring. I mean who's actually doing so much the need to unlock the sways and that independent suspension?
It's solid axle front end.
It needs factory Sliders
Powerwagon cummins would be nice
just so you know, the power wagon is a half ton truck. its GVWR is less than 8800 pounds
who says they don’t sell wagons anymore
Tonka!
why does he look so mad? LOL 7:50
His expression is like something out of terminator :P
This truck turns anyone into a badass :)
Everyone goes through a daily bout' of RBF. it's somewhere between your sleep wearing off and being soo ready for the next one.. LOL
My 2015 Power Wagon has a 2.5” reciever, is the new one really a 2”?
Got my 2019 yesterday and its a 2.5"
It came with a 2.5" to 2"adapter though
2021 is a 2 1/2 with an adapter
No diesel!? nice review btw
not enough room for the intercooler and the weight of the diesel engine u wouldn't have room for a winch
Do the 2019 tundra trd pro have the same features like winch,rear and front lockers, disconnect sway bar?
you said Rebel, wrong. Also the hitch it 2.5"
Can this Ram climbs the mountain or climb the rock like the Tacoma Trd ?
Brandon Yen
No, TaRD sucks. I owned one for 8 months. Plagued with shifting problems and vibrations. I only got 14.5 MPG. I sold it for a Rubicon 2 years ago. Power wagon is a Rubicon on steroids. Check out AEV dodges. You’ll fall in love.
Toileta TuRDs are junk
So it’s constantly in 4WD? Something tells me that’s not right.
I have a 2018 and 'm just not a fan of the 2019. I dont care for the lights up front. Plus the cheap plastic overhang for the rear parking sensors. The dial shift and among several other things. I do like the synthetic rope for the winch! They do need to make this thing in a diesel! Get rid of the winch and not many people would care about the weight. Most consumers would buy this up like hot cakes if you added the 6.7 with front and rear lockers.
I don't think the part about the Power Wagon not having rear wheel drive and being full time 4WD is correct. Other videos that show the transfer case show 4H 4L and 2H on the manual lever. You can see it fairly clearly on this video: th-cam.com/video/rh39JTVJMYo/w-d-xo.html
Buddy of mine has one and we of course live in the city, I never understood that move. It's total overkill for the city. Other day, he tells me how it sucks to clean the snow off of it because it doesn't fit in his garage. Well, duh!
He has more dollars than sense? Sounds like what I will end up doing lol.
You accidentally said rebel...sorry just saying. @1:30
1:30 Uh, Power Wagon...
Get a 2500 tradesman with a power wagon package for 45k instead of a 60k power wagon. Also GMC is making a 2020 AT4 Sierra 2500 which should come close to the power wagon
Just configured it on the Dodge site, and holy cow is that a barebones truck. It'll have the goods, but look and feel really cheap inside and out.
I'd skip the expensive power wagon. Like you, I'd either get a cheap and capable off road tool that I won't regret throwing into mud or banging against rock, or a luxury and comfy truck that can tow.
James Mastroianni So Ram gives you choices. Great.
@@BoopSnoot that's the point. Its the 2500 frame with throwaway trim. It's an offroad vehicle. Get an actual power wagon if you're using it as a mall crawler and hitting a trail once or twice a year
This Ram is fantastic off road and comparable to Fords Raptor but the Power Wag handles better, has a way nicer interior and is easier to drive without getting whiplash.
Hands down like my Ram bighorn 1500 , the best trucks on the road now.
Sorry Ford but your in the rear view mirror camera now.
For the cost (67k) for this, I would go with the Tundra TRD Pro and get Toyota reliability for about the same payload and towing ability, for over 10k less, albeit with less options.
Actually there was a last 2018 model in salsa red for $48k on the lot. I would have snapped it up but I am being patient for the 2021 redesign. Now, if at the end of 2020 I see that what Toyota has is a stinker and another mild refresh I'll be done with them and go with Ram 2500.
Brian Winkler this is a very different truck to the Tundra (despite similar towing and payload), so not sure why you compare the two.
Alan Bowers I understand that one is a 1/2 ton and one is a 3/4 ton but both are off road focused with similar capabilities with similar power levels. It’s just that the tundra isn’t as plush or nearly as expensive.
Brian Winkler not sure the capabilities are similar. Power Wagon has front and rear solid axles, locking diffs on both, disconnect able sway bar, different geometry compared to the standard truck along with that 12k winch. Tundra is a mild lift and shocks.
@@ALMX5DP He'd rather get the completely different, less capable truck, for less money! What is not to understand? /s
For a $60k truck in 2019 not to have a telescoping steering wheel is a serious oversight.
And 360 ° camera not standard. That bad.
russttu and for $67k it should at least be able to make toast. That’s a deal breaker for me.
ugh a snowflake wants to play with trucks.. ugh.
@@famoffive831 Exactly!
It is a significant issue indeed- yet it does have adjustable pedals. Also if I am not mistaken no trucks or suv with full solid axle in front have telescoping steering column( F250/350, Jeep gladiator etc.)
I wish it would be available though
👌👍👍!
Considering that for most owners it's going to spend 95% of it's life on-road it doesn't really make much sense. Cool truck though.
Not my first choice but for towing and boondocking in BLM land this would fit the bill sort of. It's unfortunate the payload is skimpy though. By the time you get a family of four & trailer hitch weight and maybe a generator in the back with extra fuel your done.
Most people don't drive a Ram 2500 with such an expensive package though, so this is a niche market.
@@rxonmymind8362 wrong..I have a 2018 tow a 27ft Travel Trailer 2 Yamaha 200cc motorcycles in the bed. and I daily drive it.. Just got back from driving across the USA to wheel in the Grand Canyon.
@@DukeSky
Wrong about what? If your payload for a 2018 is 1466lbs according to it's web page let's do the math.
Let's assume( since I don't know your trailer so I'll take an Airstream) a 27' trailer has tongue weight of 790lbs. But we all know most times if taken to a scale it's more depending if it's a classic or newer model. In real world it's probably closer to 1,000. But let's go with published specs of 790.
How much do you weigh? I'm 240, wife ads another 130, my two kids ads another 200 with a total of 570 lbs along with a 50lb boxer dog 630 inside the car.
Add two 2019 Yamaha TW200 at wet rate of 270lbs apiece for a total of 540lbs.
People + motorcycle=1170 lbs
Trailer tongue weight of 790 lbs
Total 1960 lbs
In this hypothetical case I'd be over by 494 lbs not counting auxiliary gas tanks, helmets, fishing gear, whether or not your trailer is 100% empty etc.
I KNOW the truck is capable of doing more than specs but for insurance purposes I hope to never be on the wrong side of MFG recommend specs when it comes to a vehicle "incident".
Cheers.
Practical is not always fun.
When will manufacturers sell tanks to Americans? When will Americans drive tanks to commute to work?
A tank would be too fuel efficient for these tools.
We’re just about there.
it's almost that , American and here Canadian , already commute in these nonsense monster truck every day, and spending 3 liters of gas just to go get one liter of milk . Anyway ,we’re all going into the wall before everyone gets their pickup .
Depends on the price and how well it rides.
Close when the original Hummer was introduced.
Real world fuel economy ?
I feel like the Power Wagon should be named something else and Power Wagon name should be on there 1 ton with 1000 lb of torque.
Let’s go power wagon power wagon don’t care
When they figure out how to fit a Cummins in the power wagon I'll be first in line.
i guess no power wagon for u then😂😂😂🤣
I feel the same way! It wouldve been the best truck on the market period!!!
u keep forgetting the power wagon is already a heavy truck u don't want all that extra weight on the front end
@Ben Tackett what people don't know about military diesels os they don't have to meet epa standards and the diesel engines they use is set up to burn any type of oil or diesel. they are not the same as the diesel that we have
@Ben Tackett exactly but more and more states are doing inspections now because they are aware of people deleting there vehicles and ucan't really delete them till they are out of warranty or it will void them
NO extended cab long bed? NEXT!
Pulls great!
But I have a 2018 2500 PW and stops worse than my Grandson's 2006 half ton
STOPPING IS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE WET WITHOUT THE LOAD, NEEDS HYDROBOOST BRAKES!
CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS ON THE HORIZON FOR WRONG BRAKE SYSTEM!!!!
Why not Peace My brakes work fine. Man up and push on the damn peddle.
Overkill.... No sale
Why is it over kill?
I hate you made any references to the rice burner. That might just be me.
Make them in diesel already
Why?
@@bryan70546 because diesel is 10x better....
@@TheTeeDay well if you knew anything about the PW you would know that they can't make them in a diesel. No place to mount the intercooler. Besides not everybody wants a diesel when the 392 will do the job just fine. With the break down rate the new Cummins is having I sure as shit would not want one.
@@bryan70546 gas is trash and so is your opinion....
Wow, that engine barely makes more power than the 5.7 liter.
kwk1 and yet it’ll be more robust for when you are straining it with towing or hauling.
@@ALMX5DP true and maybe the torque comes in at a lower rpm than the 5.7, but I'd have to check that.
Either of you guys think a small biturbo diesel would work for that truck?
@@rxonmymind8362 Not sure, the 3 liter diesel makes 240 hp and 420 torque. The 2500 is a heavy truck.
@@King_Kenny66
Okay thanks.
Payload is too little, for such a heavy duty truck.
Air ride? In a Power Wagon? Why would you suggest they try that? It would be worthless. It would completely over stretch the airbags when sway bars disconnected and limit suspension travel. Total waste for a true off-road vehicle.
I don't understand why you'd want an off roading truck this big, especially with its reduced payload and towing capacity. But hell if you like it, get it
sharkheadism
Payload is reduced because of the softer suspension.
@@johnanthony6141 I know.
Still no cummins!🙁
RICARDO LOPEZ PAZOS Not like you’d buy it if there was.
Nice looking truck but I would never buy another Chrysler product, you can't get them to fix anything without a fight.
that's the case with most manufacturers . and it depends on the dealer u go to
@guy proulx exactly they all bend u over like Nikki and hit it hard from the back all brands😂😂😎😎
@guy proulx evey brand make so many good and bad vehicles go look them up. and sometimes it depends if a first year model of a new design or a few years later of a new design. there ate so many variables
@guy proulx ok
Furds are the worst, STFU troll
Love all the tool owners driving these on the expressway as there daily and never take it off road. Bro dozer from the factory. Everything wrong with automobiles right here. Gluttony. Just waiting for Semi or tanks to be sold at dealers for these bros
Right on. Real offroaders don’t buy new rigs
Sound like broke hater tbh with you
tinhinnh Eh, I bought a brand new PW and slapped sliders on in the first month. 🤷🏻♂️ Some of is do.
is this a gas truck?????
phil jr alcrow yes none are diesel due to the weight of a diesel and the fact that it wouldn’t fit something with the front end I think the fans or the whinch
Weird mix of adolescent graphics, old fart interior, awesome locking diffs and low range, and dodgy FCA quality. (dodgy! get it?)
@guy proulx The rust--the rust--Doggone do they rust out here in Indiana. They give square body chevys a run for their money.
Первонах))
Is that "first" in ruskie?
$60k truck with $100 decals on it..really
"I don't see why they couldn't integrate the four-corner airbag suspension on this 3/4 ton, off road truck."
Yeah, you don't understand much about this product or anything about it's target audience or uses, do you? Do you even know the pros and cons of airbag suspension? Rhetorical question and very easy time not clicking on your videos in the future.
Yes I do actually. And, FCA said they did consider it and cost was the main reason it was rejected, not capability.
Fiat always finds a way to cheap out somewhere
Who in the hell wants that stupid ass dial shifter? Put it back where it belongs. wtf?
It’s a fiat product. So no thank you.
This is nowhere near a Fiat product. It is a Chrysler product. This is built in Michigan so it's not a Fiat.
Mike Perez who owns Chrysler? Fiat does. So it’s a fiat.
@@kevs2good133 I know they own Chrysler but Ram doesn't work with Fiat staff. Fiat is leaving North America anyway.
With the elimination of Mopar lifetime maximum warranty I'll have to think HARD on buying this.
Want to bet at 75-100k tranny will go out?
