Re: Considering a 2018 Power Wagon, help
I think its awesome that some start off with " it will be my daily and ill pull a trailer every now and then"... Living in the west valley(AZ), commuting 45 mins-hour an half each way, it is so hard to comprehend this... Would love to be able to justify 35k+ miles yearly on a $50k rig though... would make the commute interesting!

Not only was it a joke, it was photoshopped from a regular 4 door power wagon truck. BULLSHIT!!!!

Re: Considering a 2018 Power Wagon, help
Nice work man, these trucks are great, you're going to love it. Welcome to the group and back to Ram.
I put almost 20k miles on mine in my first year, its my only vehicle. I bought it to drive not to as a lawn ornament But nearly 20k miles per year is a far cry from 35k!Shanedogg wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 10:00 pmI think its awesome that some start off with " it will be my daily and ill pull a trailer every now and then"...

Re: Considering a 2018 Power Wagon, help
I’m sad I found this late, but happy for you and your purchase. I just bought my first Power Wagon (first ram anything) in August of last year. I love the thing. Like lost guys I wanted off road ready for hunting, fishing, etc, but it’s also my daily driver and super comfortable. After this thread I’m seriously considering the Thuren bar. I know exactly what these guys are talking about in the weird side play. The best I can describe is it at times your suspension feels “squishy”. It’s the only gripe I have about the truck. I don’t think it would have been as bad if I didn’t just live through the worst Wyoming winter in my adult life. Constant icy roads with that “squishy or loose” feel makes you feel a little less in control.
You also did a great thing by swapping those junk duratracs out immediately.
Great looking rig!!!
Oh another side note, the guys on this site are great and very knowledgeable. I’m mostly a lurker around here as I don’t usually have much to add that these pros haven’t covered.

Just bought my PW 12 hours ago.EasyDoesIt wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 2:35 pmIf you're thinking about buying new you'd be wise to wait for the 2019 model if for no reason than the 8spd trans. 35's will fit all day with the stock suspension and wheels or if you are okay trimming 37's will work very well, again no lift.
Also in the Las Vegas area!
Will 37"s fit with stock wheels? How much trimming and where?
I thought I would have to wait for a lift, but I have 3 leftover tires from a past project and can have a 4th today if this is doable.
Something about taking a sawzall to a brand new $60,000 truck within 24 hours of owning it sounds AWESOME!

Toto 37x12.5s will rub on suspension components with stock wheels but you don’t need to trim anything.
