The SHOCKING Truth About the Ram Power Wagon 2500 That NO ONE Tells You! - A 5 Year Review

[@tkendr01]

My 2022 RAM 2500 4x4 Hemi with the 3100 pound payload and factory air suspension is my daily driver. No off-road anticipated.

[@aevnate4140]

Your title caught my attention, and I was wondering if you were going to talk about actual issues with a Power Wagon. After watching your video, I found out you did not do your research before purchasing the Power Wagon and you really do not know why it has a lower payload.

[@WallStreetRedneck]

Clearly their off-road suspension. Nice to see they updated for 2024 model though

[@robh9442]

I believe the 2500 Rebel could be a choice for those wanting a Power Wagon, but need the towing/payload capabilities more than the extreme offroad. If it was available when I got my 1500 Rebel, I would have chosen that instead.

[@michaelspears6201]

Seems it would be cheaper to upgrade the rear suspension to leaf springs if you want more payload and towing, rather than starting over paying for a new truck.

[@WallStreetRedneck]

@@michaelspears6201 I looked into it. Was hoping there was a mopar options that the dealership would do but there wasn’t. I ended up getting a dually for peace of mind and so I could fully utilize my equipment trailer with two 10k axels. They were running some pretty big incentives on trucks when I traded mine in as well.

[@redtitan29]

You're confusing the Power Wagon with the HD Rebel. A PW is basically a Wrangler in an HD Truck form. You can't have an extremely soft suspension designed to flex offroad and keep high payload. You simply bought the wrong truck and failed to verify the #1 most important item when purchasing, payload.

[@WallStreetRedneck]

No doubt about that. Assumed 2500 would put it in the proper ranger with the others. Apparently I wasn’t alone. New PWs now have 17k tow capacity

[@redtitan29]

@@WallStreetRedneck The Power Wagon has the same towing capacity as the one you owned. The new HD Rebel is close to 17K but it looses features of the Power Wagon which is why I stated you're confusing the two models.

@@WallStreetRedneck If you google 2024 Lunar Edition Power Wagon towing compacity it will tell you 10,610. If you google just 2024 Power Wagon towing compacity it says 17,740 which is wrong because that is the max that engine is rated to pull in the right configuration. Which is a regular cab 1 ton 4x2 with a 4.10 rear end. If you beef up the suspension on the Power Wagon it will help the towing

[@BloodAlwaysFindsItsLevel]

The cost of making a safe failsafe is why the back seats don't fold forward. Peopie would not be securing them properly without sdding a gear system. In an accident the company would have a hard time proving it was secured. Very nice new 3500, I assume they made it very comfortable price wise.

[@WallStreetRedneck]

I ended up having to take the 3500 back. Was a nightmare with the dealership. Will post videos. They delivered the wrong truck

[@davedavidson9638]

Appreciate the video. Do one on the Duelly.

[@TC-ok4ng]

thats too bad ive had 3 rams all good trucks 2 hemi's and a v6 e torque. don't give up.

[@WallStreetRedneck]

I loved the power wagon. Just not enough tow capacity for a 2500. I moved to the 3500 dually. Will post video soon. Dealer actually brought the wrong one and wouldn’t take it back at first

[@you166mhz]

you need a Ram 3500 HD dually

[@WallStreetRedneck]

Did you see the one the dealer delivered in the video?

[@derekheuring2984]

I get a little tired of people who buy Power Wagons knowing full well what their limits are then bag on them for their lower payload and towing capacity. Kind of like complaining you can't shred a mountain highway in your Harley bagger. I have both, by-the-way and I bought the Harley for its comfortable riding position and long trip ease and the Power Wagon for its off-road capability. I knew exactly what I was getting with both and got what i wanted. I tow a 7,500 lb. travel trailer with my PW which is all I need and the gentleman who bought it new(I'm the 2nd owner) put Carli King suspension and airbags on it raising its payload to 2,000 lb. I couldn't be happier with it.

[@WallStreetRedneck]

@@derekheuring2984 I didn’t say I wasn’t happy with it. It’s just odd to have it in their 3/4 ton class. RAM clearly sees the error in this as the newest models have increased capacity now

[@jimbaker7831]

That knob shifter is trash. I blew the transmission on my truck because I mixed up the shifter with the volume knob going 80 mph. Thanks RAM

[@BloodAlwaysFindsItsLevel]

Another skitzo larper making stuff up.

[@WallStreetRedneck]

Hahah no way

[@aevnate4140]

No you didn't. It will not change gears if you are over 5mph.

[@anengineer_]

​​@@WallStreetRedneckI had similar issue with my manual, during crusing on the highway I started mixing the shifter and trans blew up... Just kidding 😂 😂

[@jimbaker7831]

@@aevnate4140 oh so once you are above 5 mph you cant shift to 2nd gear? If you’re gonna troll put some more effort in, punk

[@fscottgray9784]

Very easy to convert the rear seat back to fold forward, just add some washers under the mounting brackets. Power wagon is for a different purpose than what you were using it for. 4,000 miles per year is more of a toy. Sorry but you know very little about the PW and it shows.

[@WallStreetRedneck]

10k tow capacity sucks regardless of its intended offroad purpose on truck in the 2500 class. They clearly updated the 2024 model to 17k so I can’t be alone in this critique.

[@fscottgray9784]

@@WallStreetRedneck Not the Power wagon. It still has the same rating. I have one I know.
