Power Wagon vs. Rebel... Sibling rivalries???

[adeluca73]

As a matter of fact, call me and I'll buy you a beer over the damn phone if they'll take the payment!

Next time I'm TDY to Fl, I'll look you up Will!!

Hey man, sure if you're not DD'ng it, can you buy a specialty rig like a MOG to do your weekend warrior duty or plow snow, I guess, but most folks here want a 'do it all' factory DD truck.[/quote]

Too bad the Power Wagon isn't that truck... It is shit on road and shit off road, where is the "do it all"?

But you "photo-bombed" aka "troll'd" this thread about the wannabe baby-wagon Rebel vs. the actual PW, and is an off-road 1500 light duty truck with some, or all the PW's capabilities worth it, if it was like $10K or so cheaper. The churning up the same crap about the "nannies" and how you got stranded pulling your 2-sled trailer up a snowy hill, or whatever it was the PW failed at, which you've been griping about is just not helpful anymore--there's been plenty of discussions, mainly fueled by you, about this. The responses have ALL been the same, we agree in principal we'd like more influence on the tranny, gear selection, and traction aids, but none of us, or nearly none of us, have had then same cataclysmic, unmitigated failures you've encountered, and we've all beseeched you in one way or another to maybe take the truck in to see if there's a issue, or just sell it and move on. To my knowledge you've done neither. Instead we're on here plowing more of the same ground and it's not productive.

Just as productive as all the crap you want to post in response, but somehow that is OK?

That coupled with the, "I've had a million vehicles and ride trails everyday", pseudo Johnson comparing just aggravates everyone else. If you've been paying attention on here man, there's MANY experienced off-roaders, engineers, and just all around bad-ass car people with PW's in this group, and I'm pretty sure whatever you've done, someone else on here's done it more, bigger, badder, faster, then broke it, and fixed it themselves...as for me...

Never said there wasn't a room full of experts. Too bad not one of you can figure out how to make the truck work properly. You all just accept the crap they sold you?

So I haven't owned 60 vehicles in my life, probably not even 20, but I've been exposed to a lot of vehicles, and have depended on them when a HELL of a lot more was on the line than can I drag my toys up the trail to go f'ng off on the weekend, sorry but you need to read the room better before assailing others.

Great, you have a government job. I am so happy for you... Not sure why that matters at all. I suppose you intend to fleece the taxpayers for your extensive retirement soon to huh? You earned it though right? LOL

[verdesardog]

Fleece the taxpayers for military retirement???? GET REAL!
Have you done 20 years in the US Navy or any military service?
Freedom is NOT FREE, the retirement does not make up for missing most of my children's growing up years or the many, many months away from my lovely wife.
You don't like your PW, get a different truck and move on, quit bitchin, s**t or get off the pot.
I have a CTD and love it. Sure it's got some quirks but so do all other vehicles.

[nts007]

Snowsled that's enough. You've gone from bitching and complaining to directly insulting us and our trucks. It's not appreciated or wanted in any way. Take a hike snowsled. Go get yourself whatever you feel you need to make you happy.

Hey Sled, here's a little life lesson for you.

[rbpowerwagon]

Snowsled. You sir are an asshole!

[adeluca73]

Hey Snow'd,

That's the beauty of this country, I've agreed to equally defend both the righteous & the misguided, & despite how ridiculous you've been, I defend your right to utter vitriolic absurdities, but you sir are certifiably bat-shit crazy.
