The only place where FCA lags: engine options. The competition is getting tough, and the PW (RAM Rebel) really needs and engine option to distinguish itself from the rest of it's more pedestrian siblings, and to stay current. I say bring over the 6.2: V-8 Hellcat engine and spread the joy around. Even a slightly detuned version would declare the PW undisputed king of the hill, and turn the competition green with envy. I say 2020 would be a very good year.

@@djayt1215 I guess it really depends. if it doesn't fit on the trail it doesn't really matter how capable it is. Different tools for different jobs.

[@PatrickRich]

@@MrGreatness412 my guess is the springs that get you high ramps scores also take away a lot of payload. the axles, brakes, frame etc is the same so if you swapped suspension or got a tradesman with the power wagon package I suspect you get a lot of it back. Something else to consider is that the power wagon has a unique radius arm up front that flexes more than the standard suspension but offers a lot less lateral stiffness. That combined with the softer springs and the higher CG probably combine against it.

1100 lbs that is absolutely pitiful. There are sedans that can haul that much payload.

I haven't watched the channel in a couple months but I have to say Steve is a great addition to your crew.

[@Footloose301]

I understand this is an off road vehicle first, but you guys mentioned 1100 lb payload capacity which makes the truck almost useless for many towing applications. Say you want to take your family camping and you’ve got your wife and two kids with you and that’ll take up say 700 lbs leaving you with just 400 lbs leftover for tongue weight of your trailer and camping gear. Or even worse is if you and your family want to simply put an ATV in the bed of the truck and go have fun at an ATV park you’re possibly over payload capacity!

[@AkioWasRight]

Well, it's not supposed to be a do-everything, no sacrifice vehicle, it's primary an off-road vehicle that gives up capacity for its off-road abilities. Still, you at least can do some towing and hauling with it, and you at least have options for lighter, lower spec and higher capacities.

[@jamesvelvet3612]

My guess is someone is confusing "cargo capacity" with "payload capacity". They are different. Cargo capacity is the rating of well, cargo. The calculus takes into account the following: 150lb person in each of the available seats. Say a ruck has 6 seats x 150 lbs each. That is 900 lbs. Those 900 lbs are deducted from the payload capacity and leaves a cargo capacity {what you can put in the bed) of 1,100 lbs. Otherwise, six big dudes would exceed the weight this truck could carry. If I am wrong and the payload is less than a Ridgeline or minivan then Fiat needs to go back to the drawing board ;-)

[@mark7067]

@@jamesvelvet3612 You might be surprised. The standard payload of the previous model was only slightly less at around 1,450lbs. If you add in features, it's only less than that. I don't see why the new one would be much better.

Ya, I am just baffled as to why FCA didn't just put air bags on the back along with the factory coils. Then the truck does everything. I added bags on my 16 PW and it does everything a regular 3/4 does. Only cost me 300 for the bags, put em on myself, and they made it a beast and it did nothing to my flex. I regularly play hard off-road and then go put 14,000 lbs on the ball when I grab the trailer and excavator and go make those green stamps. Have to make all that money so I can pay in my account down at the gas station owner's place. Lol

[@chrisgleeton6823]

Has Chrysler released the official fording depth for the PowerWagon? Usually manufacturers will say the fording depth is as deep as the middle of the hubs, and it has to do with the differential vents that are usually located on top of the differential themselves. Submerge those vents, and you'll let muddy water into your diffs - not good! BUT, it's possible that RAM has relocated the diff vents on the Powerwagon to the higher location - a common aftermarket mod on off-road vehicles that will be doing a lot of fording. It would be cool if that's what they have done.

Manley Williams because they didn’t turn the sensors off. They even say the water/ mud is setting them off. I recently had a lot of problems with snow sticking to mine and setting them off lately.

[@frdmstnggt99]

Drew w same here with snow & ice making them sound. Fortunately after a few seconds they disable themselves automatically. Same with towing, the rear sensors disable after a few seconds. They can be manually disabled/enabled by a push button on the center stack. Front & rear buttons to allow control over each.

[@djxbangoo]

Because the power wagon don't care that you're annoyed

[@PilotOlms]

When a Ram truck drives in that deep water like you did in this video does water enter the cab? I have 4x4 Ram 1500 limited and would hate to get water in the cab

[@dlm6071]

Great truck for off road but terrible payload.

[@donleamon8653]

So is a Raptor. It is the whole point of both trucks...

[@djayt1215]

Well yes...if you needed a truck for payload you would option for payload...not for the ability to rocl crawl

[@deereman8237]

I’ve had 3,000 lbs in the bed of my 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 and it handled it fine! Only rated for like 1,250 payload though... oh well, warranty is long expired anyway!

[@1234567890ZETA]

I have a 2018 Power Wagon, most wonderful vehicle I will ever own. Took it East and West Coasts and back to Texas, its a mean machine of legendary pedigree. I'm all but away from my PW because of my Navy commitment but after going to my permanent detachment I'm going to bring with me my truck cause damn that HEMI V-8 is always an orchestra when you fire it up every morning.

[@brett9736]

I have a 2016 pw. Just changed the oil, coolant flush and repaired my winch cable (after recovering 3 jeeps from shit ton of snow last week-great photo), After reading all this commentary I'ma gonna go drive that wagon on a saturday afternoon. Slightly mod'd shes a screamin beast. Hope you get your '18 back soon - damn good lookin truck. Thanks for what you do, brother, so many others can go burn fossil fuel on a Saturday afternoon.

[@1234567890ZETA]

@@brett9736 I've gone to 2 Ram 2500s the last being a PW also. Driven them and enjoyed the hell out of it in my own way. I haven't brought mine to Moab which was the ultimate goal before I joined the service oh maybe when I get a chance, as of now my 18 is stored and babied I did the oil changes and replaced the air intake myself just the basic stuff. she sits on 35s but will get 37s later on. It just bugs me why they have to go with rotary knob shifter on the 19 when the column shifter could've been paired with the 8-speed.

[@lukestoyz]

How did Steve film his great off-road videos in Canada without Roman telling him what talk about?🤦🏻‍♂️ And that concrete all locked up crawl could be done in 2wd- it’s concrete! Hate the rotary minivan shift knob, other than that it has a nice interior

[@MrGreatness412]

You didnt see them get stuck on the rock they edited it out.

[@MrGreatness412]

[@tybowhunter8987]

I agree. I prefer the column shifter. I don't really like the shifters in the center console like in cars. One advantage to the knob would be it doesn't take up a lot of room but still not a fan.

[@bretz71]

Ram haters like you should love the rotary shift knob; so you can play with your own stick shift while driving.

[@deereman8237]

I perfer column shifter! So much easier to get in a lower gear to slow down heavy trailers or go down icy hills in the winter. No looking for a gear shift button or anything like that! I also like the fact that the column shifters are directly connected to the transmission in the Ram trucks!

[@youngblood23rb]

[@KC14141]

I want Nathan to review this Truck!!

[@s.w.9648]

Why are the engine power numbers so much lower in the power wagon than the scat pack?

[@dr._breens_beard]

Long-term durability probably. Still sounds wicked af at least

[@dr._breens_beard]

@@jacobdukes4741 whats the block made out of?

[@shauno2006]

I am still upset the detune that motor so much for the trucks. A SRT 392 is 485HP

[@Welcometofacsistube]

ShaunO toque. Hp is second when considering a truck. Not hard to get it back up to those srt numbers anyways

[@shanefawcett225]

Not the same engine this is totally different built from the ground up for towing and low end torque

[@AmericaFirstKorey]

It’s actually a completely different engine than the SRT. Different camshaft, intake manifold, and cylinder heads (Eagle on PW vs. Apache on SRT). HP = torque x rpm / 5252. On an off road truck, it makes no sense to build the peak torque at 4,500+ rpm (like a max effort g3 Hemi). Low lift and mild duration cam + eagle heads give it a relatively low torque peak and more power in the rpms the truck will be used when off road. Btw I have a 15’ PW.

[@freddyarmijos8883]

I’m really looking at buying the ram rebel. But worried about reliability....

[@antoinegagnon7939]

Freddy Armijos Its very reliable for me and the best pickup I've ever owned!

[@tactickleshtooper1753]

Do your research and you'll see that RAMs have far more issues than the competition. I'd avoid them at all cost. "It has the best interior" is not enough reason to have a truck with the fastest resale value losing properties, the fastest ruster, the fastest transmission issues, etc.

[@Welcometofacsistube]

Don’t be.

[@lonespartan31289]

1100lbs payload is less that a honda ridgeline, and it tows less than a 1500...this is weird lol. Still love the power wagon for offroading, but those numbers are really weak.

[@bobvincent4841]

That's just what FCA advertises. I put air bags in my 16 PW and pull 14,000 on the ball ( 16' dump trailer and 4 ton excavator with multiple buckets) almost daily. The bags don't hinder flex and they weren't expensive either, see I consider it a win win. Other than the crappy gas mileage, it's a beast that does everything I want it to.

[@lonespartan31289]

@@bobvincent4841 that means you are exceeding the vehicle rating. It is rated to tow what it can based on the stopping performance, not it's ability to get a load moving. Maybe you aren't to far over the tow capacity to be considered dangerous, but you still shouldn't.

[@tommyd1963ify]

@@lonespartan31289 but similar(non Power Wagon) Ram 2500s are rated to tow much more. I've read that it is because of the liability of lockers, low range, disconnects, and a heavy load. Never underestimate the ability of the general public to do something really stupid and blame the manufacturer.

[@timfox2344]

She’s a beautiful Beast, ironically I was watching a video 5hrs ago with a PowerWagon playing in the Montana snow with a old Wagoneer & newer JL.... love your review. Nathan is probably snuggling the Suzuki on a couch watching 3 stooges dvds to avoid watching this one.

[@dennismillus4581]

How much did that power wagon cost. The way it sat on your test?

[@TonyMontana-fs3lu]

Those are 1/2 ton numbers. Payload 1100 on a 3/4 ton. No thanks dodge

[@donleamon8653]

Then go get a regular 2500 and not have the articulation, front/rear lockers, disconnecting swaybar, lift, and Warn winch. And it isn't a Dodge anymore.

[@bretz71]

Ram don’t care. Dodge cares even less.

[@NukePooch1]

...No thanks Fiat... There, FIFY. Dodge trucks went AWOL shortly after the Germans dumped Chrysler.

[@ohgodwhat1]

Those aren't even 1/2 ton numbers. Those are compact truck numbers, both the Toyota Tacoma and the Chevy Colorado have 1,400 to 1,500 pounds of payload

[@TonyMontana-fs3lu]
