RAM 2500 Power Wagon | 5 Things I ABSOLUTELY LOVE About It!!

[@patriot5526]

You always hear people saying that the 33” tires on the Power Wagon aren’t big enough. The engineers at Ram are not stupid. These tires were selected for very specific reasons. This is a factory stock off-road truck, not a trophy truck. In my experience, I’ve never had any trouble going anywhere I want in this truck except narrow trails. The 1 or two inches you gain with larger tires is not worth the trade off, like worse gas mileage, extra wear and tear on the drive train, and even lower towing capacity. The Ram engineers have found the perfect balance between off road capability, work capability, and the ability to have a great daily driver.

[@GettysGarage]

that rear diff hangs pretty low but you aren't wrong 35inch tires will in theory lift the truck 1inch. and that's what I would consider doing.

[@juanchavez2183]

I’m looking into buying a HD gas powered truck! I have two options, either the 7.3 from ford or ram 2500. Can you please help me or give me the ups and downs from both? Thank you. I’ve owned a ram 1500 and still going love it.

[@LetsGoRangers-xn1hh]

33s aren’t enough for anything I own a 2019 power wagon and I run fuel rims with an offset and 35 inch ko2 tires my 33s had no traction they weren’t wide enough at all I’d spin out all the time due to my 6.4 hemi fuck those shitty tires

[@Cmoredebris]

The trick is to go to a higher and narrower tire for the ultimate traction. We quit plowing our road into our ranch during winter. I've run the PW through 4' of new snow and never had a problem.

[@quentonmillstid850]

Wider tires give you more traction how? Watch the video comparison on 255s to 315s on ground the footprint of the tire is the same unless you are down to like 7psi​@@LetsGoRangers-xn1hh

[@ecocav0222]

I been wanting one for the last few years. Test drove a standard 2500 tradesman and finally pulled the trigger and put a deposit on a Power Wagon. Don't know how long I'll be waiting for it but I did it that way so I get the exact options I feel are worth paying for. And not one sitting on a lot with options that I don't want to pay on while losing out on the ones I rather invest that money at. So now it's the waiting game until then. 🙂

[@Real_Natural]

Compared to a standard 2500 RAM the power wagon comes standard with LED headlights. Have to get the right package with a standard 2500 to get LED headlights. Agreed. You don’t have to build out a power wagon with insane level of option packages to get a nicely equipped rig. Factor in the off road hardware and cushy suspension and it’s a great daily driver. Assuming you’re not going nuts on the gas bill. I laughed when you said you look back at it 2 or 3 times when you park it. I get it haha

[@GettysGarage]

it is kind of cool how the level 1 power wagon package kind of gives you a great spec'd truck. I my truck has a couple little added things but it does keep it simple. The wife always laughs when I look back at the truck. "it will be there when you get back" she always says lol

[@patriot5526]

Ram spent millions of dollars developing this truck and it shows. I’ve owned many 4WD trucks over the years and most were fairly capable, but none come close to the capability of this truck. It can’t tow as much weight as other 3/4 ton trucks, but what it can tow it will tow to just about anywhere you need to go. I can haul 6 tons of hay across any field or pasture, winter or summer, with no problem.

[@GettysGarage]

It's a tough truck and it is cool because it is almost a stand alone platform and Ram really put their money where their mouth is and build a truly off road ready heavy duty pickup truck and didn't care if it affected the towing or payload. unlike the ford and GMC.

Hi thanks for taking the time in making these videos. Wanted to ask you, is it common to hear minor wind noise on the passenger side when going over 70 mph? In my 2022 tradesman crew cab It sounds as if the window is slightly open and you hear the wind but its only on the passenger side i hear this when im on the highway. Its not unbearable but slightly noticable. Just curious if this is something common with rams especially 2500's? Thanks for your time

Love your videos, super informative! I've been researching getting a new truck (1st gen tundra owner for 10+ years) and am thinking going with a ram 1500 or 2500 and based on your videos I'm leaning towards the 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins. I live Montana and do farm work/ag consulting and don't necessarily have the need now for hauling on a regular basis but am trying to anticipate my needs in the future. Would love to see a video with your perspective on which would make a better overall daily driver/work truck and if its worth making the jump to the 2500 diesel or sticking with the 1500 with the 5.7.

[@Interesting_Placebo]

Agree. I ordered a white Power Wagon and deleted the decal option. The stickers have grown on me since, but I also worried about how the decals would hold up in the Southeastern US sun. I do plan to change out the tires for 35s. There's a small amount of ground clearance gained, but it's more for cosmetic reasons. The stock tires just appear to be a little too small for such a large truck. As someone who has some drive time in the PW, what do you think about going to 35s?

[@GettysGarage]

the white truck with the deleted decals is a clean looking truck! in terms of tires I would like to go for 35's at some point maybe after I burn through these duratracs. I think the truck will be just fine with 35's. it comes with heavy duty axles and driveline the little added stress shouldn't compromise much

Yeah, the dealer/factory put 60/65 lbs in the tires. Let them down to 45-48 and they ride really nice. Lots of guys running 40 psi in them.

[@oscaralonzo27]

Just found your channel, great content! Looking to buy one myself. Don’t need a diesel which is why im considering this. How long do you realistically think this truck will last? (Mileage wise)

[@GettysGarage]

Thank you sir! Well I would say the 6.4 hemi will outlast the 5.7 hemi as it's just a stronger built engine with way more cooling. It's said to last to around 200-250k miles. with the heavy duty platform you are going to get big beefy axles and drivelines that will last. the ZF 8 speed seems to be doing well in the RAM 1500's but it's only been in the heavy duty line up since 2019 so ideally it will perform well like the 1500's but you never know. but again this is modern truck and they don't build them to last like they used too. but being a 2500 I would say you're going to get 8-10 years out of it ideally before anything major breaks.

Thank you! Will be doing travel work so will be putting lots of mile on it, that’s why im curious about longevity

Well after having 1/2 ton trucks then buying a PW because I could not get a deal on a Ram 1500 I love everything about it except for the steering(so jeep like it sucks) but I fixed it. Am shocked how well it pulls 9,500 pounds when I pulled 7,500 with a 1/2 Ton I was never comfortable even though it was well below what the truck could handle. I didn’t want a Diesel so it was perfect that it only came in gas. People hate being behind me or in front of me with the PW

Picked up a 2022 Power Wagon level 3 package. It is so unbelievably luxurious and so damn capable. Gas milage is obviously pretty "meh" but who cares, its all about the smiles per gallon.

[@Oakshang]

Ram's have always been cheaper than Ford or Chevy. I got my 2017 ram 1500 used for $25,000 USD. Lonestar 2WD, and that was a good deal. Chevy, and Ford's are overpriced because I think for many many years people think Chevy, and Ford's are the only good trucks to buy..which their not anymore. Ram has a solid ZF transmission, and equip that with a Hemi it can be a solid long term truck if you maintain it.

[@GettysGarage]

couldn't agree more, I think Ram's weakness in the past has been transmission issues so dropping in the 8 speed ZF has really helped make these trucks more reliable. I think ford is almost focusing too much on the new tech with the all aluminum and what not and forgetting most people just want a simple reliable pick up tuck. the forth gen ram trucks were great and I think that's why ram stuck with them for 12 years. and you can still find brand new fourth gen trucks on the lot. pretty impressive.

[@RJ-0301]

They over inflate the tires from factory. 60 front-65 lbs rear. Tires are too firm four an empty truck. Many PW owners run 40-45 just fine. Changes the whole driving rxperience and smooths the ride out. 65 psi in an E-rated tire with an unloaded truck makes for a rodeo!

I tow campers, trailers with SxS, etc. I don't need more than 10100 lbs towing. If I had a monster trailer or hauled huge loads, ie: heavy equipment I would go with a standard 2500 or 3500. For hunting, fishing and camping the mountain West this PW is great.
