New forest partol truks
Darn sheriff office is getting new trucks for the forest patrol division...they're getting Rapturds! I said Power wagons would be much better suited for what they do (search and rescue etc. lots of off highway work) I was told the motor pool guys had some issues with dodge so they will never get Dodges again, what idiots!

Tell them to check the track record of the cruiser Explorers and they'll never buy Fords again...

I would take a Power Wagon for work anyway. Too bad I work in town and the Sheriff's deputies work in the sticks. I would love to have one for work!

Re: New forest partol truks
You can't fix stupid.
The reason they probably switched is because of the crappy factory ball joints. If someone who really don't know much about trucks, see's that all of their Dodge's are getting their upper & lower ball joints replaced 2-3x per year, per truck, that would make the uneducated person say
. If they were edumicated on trucks, they would know that there are a few fixe's for that. .............One & done-Carli, Dyna-Trac, EMF.
Just sayin'.

Traded to 2019 ZR2, Red.
4Runner was a GREAT vehicle but could not even tow our 6x10 enclosed utility trailer comfortably, even when it was empty-ish.
It was time. Truck was still leaking BADLY every time it rained or snowed & melted. It was leaking at every single gasket (rear window, front window, all 4 doors). You could sit inside & watch it run down the inside of windshield, rear window & drip off the upper side door beams. It was molding on the inside & starting to stink. Needed new steering gearbox, shocks, new upgraded T-style steering, tires, brake lines, d/s manifold bolts that are barely recognizable due to rust-removed & replaced. Everyone around here would not even touch em once they looked at them.
So, say what you will. PW turned into a money pit. Was no longer a joy to drive. Hoping that this downsized 4x4 with lockers will fill the bill & have minimal problems, but..... As long as manufacturers keep making engineers design things that fail soon after warranty is up, we are going nowhere fast. Regardless of what you buy.

Re: New forest partol truks
No one wants to buy a new vehicle and have to make warranty trips back to the stealership for issues. No one wants to have to go back for free recalls either. A manufacturers model reputation is everything. Gen 3 Ram trucks have had a bad reputation with shitty front end death wobbles.

Re: New forest partol truks
So do 4th Gens & 5th Gens, that's why there are extreme duty ball joints avail for them all (5th Gen avail early 2018) ---nothing has changed there. If they were so much better, there would be no need for after market parts. As long as they use ball joints that are on different axis & u-joints in the front axle, there is the possibility of death wobble.
All trucks have their issues, including the Ford Raptor. We all know that.

You cant say nothing has changed - The front end is a completely different setup with radius arms... you knew that?TwinStick wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2018 6:45 pmSo do 4th Gens & 5th Gens, that's why there are extreme duty ball joints avail for them all (5th Gen avail early 2018) ---nothing has changed there.

There will always be aftermarket parts - regardless of how good or bad the OEM setup is

Re: New forest partol truks
My upper ball joints have been wobbling since the first tire rotation (actually, probably earlier than that).
Regardless. Yes. All vehicles, all brands, all models have their issues. The power wagon isnt secluded.
