New pw comparison

If it's about Power Wagons, all generations, this is where it'll go. This is the original PWR Forum Power Wagon Technical Discussion Section. And this includes everything that doesn’t fit in any one of the other categories related to the truck goes here!

Did it ever get interesting? I turned it off after the first minute or so of mindless jaw-jacking in a garage.

Seems like totally different rigs? I got my PW as I needed a 3/4 ton to replace my Avalanche 2500 but wanted the capability of lockers. If I didn't need to tow I would have gone with a Rubicon or could have gone with a Raptor if I needed to just haul a dirtbike. Not sure why Toyota would be included in anything. If so, where is the Nissan XD? And F150? And Chevy? And Ram 1500?

Not the best of comparisons, but it was alright.
Once again, it comes down to what you need or want to do.

I'm a fan of TFL Truck and subscribed to them on YouTube, but yeah sometimes their reviews or comparisons are too much opinion talk and not enough science talk and videos, this being the case with this one. Honestly, the Powerwagon cannot be compared to another truck, because there just isn't another truck in the same class. Too many times we see people compare it to the Raptor, but it just doesn't compare, two different classes. Finally, yes, I agree with jailor97, the real man takes the PW. :)

I'm not sold on the EcoPoop motor just yet, but I do like the new Raptor. I wouldn't mind having an extended cab parked next to my Power Wagon in the garage, but I don't think I'd trade on for my truck.

I post as verticallimit over there and keep trying to tell those guys who can't tell a torsen from a locker what the differences are :doh: .

I also told them I hauled 25-55# bags of deer corn, 100#'s of icechest, another 100#'s of gear in the cab last weekend...OFFROAD :wink: .

Give that a try in the raptor or taco.

Not much of a comparison when they've only driven 2/3 of the trucks.
