Why Did I Buy a Ram Power Wagon?

The Ram Power Wagon is the Heavy Duty Off-roader of the truck community and it’s heritage dates back to the 1940’s and is well known for its big, tough, trail dominating capabilities. This 2020 model is the 5th Generation of the modern Power Wagons and the off-road refinements and modern interior amenities make this a highly sought-after adventure vehicle for those looking for a full size truck, long range expedition rig and weekend trail adventure truck. I’ve had my eye on the Power Wagons for a while now, and I’m looking forward to, pushing this truck to its limits on the dirt, adding a few modification to fit my needs and sitting back and enjoying the ride on some long-range overland adventures. I think this platform has a whole lot of potential. #powerwagon #ramtruck

I felt a sudden disturbance in the force, as if millions of jeep guys cried out in terror

Always interesting to see people who move on from Jeeps and discover how miserable their comfort level was. The Ram looks nice. Congrats.

37' tires will fit with no trimming. Just need to drill small holes and use a large zip tie to pull the inner fender away from the tire. The issue that those who run the stock wheels will run into is that the tires will then rub on the control arms and the sway bar. 

Also Z Automotive makes a Tazer programmer that works with the Power Wagon up to year 2021. However running a tire that has a max PSI of less than what the truck recommends will require a trip to the dealer so the truck can recognize the change. But you will still be able to disable the TPMS system. 

In our search for sliders for our 2018 Power Wagon the best ones we found are made by White Knuckle Off Road.

We currently have a simple roll up Truxedo tonneau cover on our Power Wagon. Has worked great to keep things out of the bed like water & leaves. And because we put 37's on our Power Wagon it hid the spare laying in the back. We ordered a decked system for ours that was just put in a few days ago. We can still use the tonneau cover for now but we can not carry the spare. We also ordered a ARE CX-HD topper for enclosed storage & basic overlanding.

Haven't watched the answer yet, but my guess is because
1. It's just badass
2. Redlands dealership freakin loves you lol

My guy I need this lift comparison video in my life. My whole builds on hold waiting for it. Keep up the stellar work brother.

[brandengray]

Yes! I can’t wait to see what you do with this truck! I’ve been hooked on your videos but drive a 2500. So amped!

I appreciate trail recon channel because you always say how things fit your needs and give reasons why and why not when most channels are just trying to brag and show off. Thanks for all you do for the community

I’m a Chevy guy but I have to say the new dodge trucks are really nice.

[USAF-SF]

You WILL NOT REGRET your new purchase, I've been driving my '14 for 6 yrs now and I am still in love EVERY TIME I get behind the wheel, congrats on your UPGRADE!!!

[AnthrozoologyTV]

Every week I feel like you add a new rig to your fleet. Very blessed brother, congrats and keep up the great work.

I’m in the market for a new truck. Gladiator and Colorado have a nice size, but too small of a bed. Your Power Wagon with front lockers looks perfect, although slightly too wide. Thank you for taking the time to introduce me to this truck.

[tomdefriez]

As a full size truck owner, I'm so excited to see someone respected go the full size truck route. Maybe it'll help get some after market support finally. Can't wait to see your ideas.

[gregormiller]

You're enjoyment with this rig makes me smile. Although with all of your rides, your unmasked pleasure is always comforting, a true pleasure. Thanks, God Bless. Hope
you and family have a wonderrful holiday. Being from N. Unikornia, i know how difficult that can be. GB

As for the back cover, depending on how big you want to go, take a look at Diamond Back covers. They are tough enough to handle having ATVs and Side X Sides loaded on them.

Shift on the floor is my favorite feature on the truck. Some weeks hunting I use it 50+ times and it’s simply reliable. It engages immediately like it should. Buttons or knobs simple do not compare! I put 15k miles on mine in the first 1.5 months and have almost no complaints other than my previous ford had a flat back floor.

[sandralutz-rodriguez]

Congratulations on the sweet full size truck! I have always enjoyed Dodge pickups. Surely this is a great addition to the TrailRecon fleet. Keep up the great work and ignore the haters

For less money - you get an entry level ram tradesman with a “power wagon” option. All suspension mods present but absent some creature comforts of the actual power wagon.

Went over to the dark side! And here we are drooling over the gladiator

I owned a 1500 quad cab Ram for 2 years and I loved it. Also I have been driving a 2500 Ram with a Hemi for work the last 2 years out on South East New Mexico through rough terrain. I am impressed to where this truck has gone with no problems. You will be absolutely happy with your purchase. It will serve its purpose well.
