New 2019 Power Wagon Warn Zeon Winch Demo: Watch It Winch!

It's also nice to know that the Power Wagon could have made it up there without a winch... 😏 But, hey, Power Wagon don't care. 🤷‍♂️

[@thelongdaysofwheeling124]

"let's go get the PW stuck and make a winch video"..... An hour later.. "well, we can't get the PW stuck, we'll just tow it up the hill for the video".... Mahahahhaha Power Wagon Don't Care!!!

The Power Wagon is truly second to none! The video doesn't do it justice, it looks awesome in person!

[@donaldvest5050]

I wish Ram would have added a in cab switch for the winch.

[@mark7067]

You'll still need a remote controller in case you need to operate it outside of the vehicle. Besides that, even if you're in the cab, it's nice being able to move around with the controls, like needing to lean out of the cab or passing the controls around. Reaching for switches makes things difficult.

[@johnschnorr7768]

I I think it would be nice to have a second receiver for the winch control plug in the cabin. It would be protected, and you could stretch the cable to the outside if you needed it or plug it in outside

[@habanero8192]

The high-end WARNs have (wireless/cordless) remote controls: that solves the problem. All RAM would have had to do was to build a nice place in the dashboard to attach it.

[@chadsteele1]

@@mark7067 yes it coulda had a wireless. For the price

[@MadDSnareify]

You still have to get out of the truck to plug the remote in, so it's not like an in-cab plug would do you any favors.

[@donleamon8653]

The access to the new design is much better than my '16, and I like the idea of synthetic if your using it A LOT, but unless that line is real UV stabilized I don't think I'd leave it on the fairlead all the time. Weight savings is kinda, meh considering the overall weight of a PW.

[@kennyhouston5101]

Definitly digging this Power Wagon👍 As always, love your content!!

[@Choclabdude]

The wireless winch remote is what I use for my Power Wagon. Works awesome! Warn has a brand new wireless receiver hub that just came out in the last week that, if PW compatible, should be sweet and cheaper than the one I bought. The new one allows for winching remotely via your smart phone.

[@vdinoman29]

Where to get it?

[@TheRooSkittler]

So.... why isn't there winch controls in the cab so you don't have to plug the controller into the bumper?

I think he’s said that before

[@philtripe]

ive seen both lines break. the steel made a noise that sounded like a gun shot and whipped pretty hard but by the time it impacted the vehicle it just kinda scratched the paint off an after market bumper but when the synthetic broke (same day btw, we were removing a Dakota that couldnt make it out of a canyon) it just hit the ground like someone had dropped a sweater, it didnt really even spring back after we stretched it way beyond what it was designed for with three trucks and a tractor pulling a smashed Dodge...we got it out when someone came up with this huge 4 inch strap

[@Throndl]

Synthetic Line Snap Back. Still gives me chills from the safety videos.

[@RIP_LIPPIN]

If you can get it stuck in some thick stuff. try using the winch to get out in those types of situations?

[@brandenlane344]

Synthetic ropes don't ALWAYS just drop. Breaks in the middle? It'll drop. Breaks at the hook up point? It can act like a sling shot if the shackle breaks but remains attached to the line.

[@donarsenault2327]

Would have like to have at least a 16000 lb winch. 12000 sounds like it’s struggling. Actually it would be nice if you could buy the power wagon without the winch so I could purchase an aftermarket bumper and my own winch.

[@ggqbc]

This truck has to be the best value out there... surely this is too good to be true

[@TheFi1thyCasual]

The biggest thing lacking on this truck is a properly sized tire. 35s from the factory would certainly improve it's capability.

[@mattknoepke2688]

+TFLoffroad To what extent is the synthetic rope UV stable? Does the synthetic cable have a recommended replacement interval and if so, how does that compare to a steel cable?

[@regsparkes6507]

From what I've been told by a rope supplier to the fishing industry, synthetic ropes are, for the most part, UV proof and will not whip, if broken. These are two of the most important features for this type of rope. Nylon or poly. rope are the most dangerous because of the lack of those benefits.

[@donleamon8653]

Too my knowledge (and to be fair I haven't looked at this Warn offering) it really isn't. If you replace that hook with a Factor55 Prohook and their guard, you can effectively shade the rope and be ok. It won't last as long as steel, but if you winch often, it is worth it. I've thought about replacing the steel on my '16, but if you only use it a couple times a year, and take care of it, it could outlast the truck. I've got a '77 Blazer with a Hickey Sidewinder on it with the original steel, still serviceable.

[@regsparkes6507]

@@donleamon8653 Maybe so Don, but can you handle that steel rope with bare hands, and still be safe from injury?

[@donleamon8653]

@@regsparkes6507 - Whenever I've done recovery in the past, I've had gloves on and I have a pair just for that in my recovery bag. I also have synthetic on the Warn on my Land Cruiser. And I've operated winches since the mid 1970's, so I understand the difference. I agree that synth is safer and easier to handle especially if you use it a lot. And it is field serviceable if you have the needles and knowledge which is also a plus. BUT I'm not too sure that what is exposed to the sun after 5+ years is going to be happy. I could be wrong if this is a new blend. But what Warn spooled on my 9.5 in the LC warned against extended UV exposure.

[@regsparkes6507]

@@donleamon8653 Oh yes, we should ALWAYS wear gloves when using a winch and handling cable,....The winch on my CJ7 has wire rope on it,...I use both as well. I just prefer the synthetic ropes. Then again,..no matter which rope we use they are a 'consumable supply' item, aren't they?

Confused... just bought a ‘19 Power Wagon and it comes with a paper saying don’t wrap winch line around fairlead the way the FCA rep is wrapping it?

[@MrScott-mi4ec]

Yep your right. the new new ones only have one wrap. A side note I broke my line stuck in snow. Its was covered under warranty.

[@geoffgero6081]

The spotter is standing right in the kill zone and no damper on the line at all. This extremely reckless and irresponsible, a synthetic line can still kill

[@vikp6115]

Ok if it comes with a truck , why couldnt they intergrate that remote inside the truck like steering wheel, and if you need it outside it comes with that cable remote. , now it seems like after thought . . How can we sell this truck... let's throw winch in it. ...

[@donleamon8653]

My hunch is that it is some sort of liability that FCA wants to avoid. As it is, they are probably running the risk of being sued by some winch ignorant dude that hurts himself or someone else while doing a recovery. Or doing something stupid like felling a tree. (which i've done with a '73 Suburban and a Hickey Sidewinder back in the day. ;-)

[@MadDSnareify]

This way gives you the option to be inside or outside the truck. You have to be outside to hook the winch up anyway, so there's no real point to an inside access.

[@vikp6115]

@@MadDSnareify well if you go outside to hook up the winch, plug in remote for it than run that wire inside the cabin , get inside the vehicle to steer and work the winch , having it inside less chances for the cable to get tangled up and get unplugged or yanked from ur hands when u using it in the woods ,

[@vikp6115]

@@donleamon8653 I would just guess it would be much safer to have the remote inside , less chances having remote unplugging when u using winch in the woods by getting tangled and remote pulled away from you, having buttons on steering or whatever inside the cabin gives u option on having 2 hands on steering wheel when going over big rocks , as u fight to keep that vehicle on track doesent mather what steering stabilizer is installed.

[@donleamon8653]

Vik P - you’ve never used a winch before huh? No worries. 😀 The wired remote has been the defacto standard. Some now option for wireless remotes, but if you’re alone, you have to be out to deal with the rope at certain points of the operation and one hand on the wheel is sufficient. You’re barely rolling with these units.

Nice to see the winch in action, though i think the PW would of made it without the winch

You just have to love a synthetic rope equipped winch. I just wish that remote switch connection were under the hood and out of the way of water, salt & dirt, an interior (cab) connection would be beneficial too. A wireless switch operation , like on my CanAm ATV would be even smarter,...what about it FCA?

[@pavel_bis.channel1428]

That is right type of off-road testing for real beasts! Yeahhhh!

[@jasonstroman4550]

Great video. FYI synthetic does not just drop. Still potential energy in there. You should have some bags or blankets on that line for safety. Especially with everyone standing nearby and that guy in black directly in the danger zone.

[@jasonstroman4550]

Agreed that the synthetic has less potential energy compared to steel. That’s obvious. But it does not just drop. It still has some snap and I would not want to get hit with it if it snaps. And if that anchor point let go there would be a hook coming back with that snap. Steel or synthetic, play it safe, stay out of the way, out of the danger area and approach every recovery with caution. Don’t assume just because it’s synthetic and less energy does not mean someone won’t get hurt if the recovery goes sideways.

[@perpelle]

Yeah, it's crazy how close that are to that rope. If that thing snaps and especially if something metal is attached to it I would not be standing where they are. Stupid, stupid people.

[@jasonstroman4550]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2i7ooGOaN55is0 check this out. He broke a synthetic rope on purpose. It does not just fall. As Rhonny said in his video it might not kill you but it will de nut you. Lol. Also all the mayhem with the steel cable was fun to watch. I would definitely choose synthetic over steel and I will stay in a safe place when using it. Hope y’all enjoy the video as it made me laugh.

[@zonacrs]

Nice truck. Was ready to pull the plug on a new 1500 but no lockers available across the line. Ford offers rear lockers for pretty much every trim level. My main gripe with FCA trucks and Jeeps. Offer lockers at lower trim levels! And yes I know this is a 2500, general complaint. Would love a Power Wagon if it had shorter options or a Ram Rebel with the same locker options. FCA is taking a page from Ford and steering you to limited options for off road capability.

[@joshtavenner3073]

NotaBRZ NotaMiata The Ram has a rear locker available across the line for 2019 in the 1500. It’s standard in the Rebel. On non-Rebel’s you can get the 4x4 Off Road package which gives you the locker and a few other things. If you don’t get that you can still add the locking rear as a stand alone option. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was similarly available on the 2500s.

[@zonacrs]

@@joshtavenner3073 Thanks! They must have updated their build and price tool recently, or I'm jaded by what is on our local lots. I'll try again with the build and price.

[@NemeanLion-]

Thanks for the details, but are they designed for different markets? The trucks seem so similar. Is the rebel a sort of baja/raptor clone and the power wagon a more industrial workhorse?

[@philharris4504]

@@NemeanLion- Power Wagon is built primarily for hard core off road. It will just about go anywhere a Jeep Rubicon will go....IF it will fit. That's its weakness. It's a big girl. The Rebel is more for the weekend warrior type of person. Very capable, just not quite as hard core capable as a Wagon. Neither should be compared to a Raptor. That's apples and oranges. Raptor is more of a high speed baja style setup. Fine vehicle, just built for a different purpose.

There is a slight possibility, according to TFL, that Ford may be resurrecting the Highboy F250 to compete with the mighty Power Wagon, along with a new 7.3L pushrod gas V8. Ford has been keeping details of the 2020 Super duty heavily under wraps. We are supposed to find out tomorrow on some of the details. I’m really hoping it’s true cuz competition is what pushes manufacturers to improve their product and bring markup prices down. As of now, the Raptor is in a league of its own.

I wear simple, insulated gloves when handling said cable. At no time am I concerned about how much 'particulate' my steel cable encounters. At no time am I concerned with how many pulls at what tension stress my steel cable has experienced. In short, following a brief visual inspection of said steel cable, at no time am I concerned with an "MTBF" (meantime between failure). (a little nerdy IT offroader humor)
