I'll take the wheels, the bumpers and the nice integrated led on the roof. They can keep the bed rack. I already have the rest of the truck :wink:

It's ok I guess, but I don't see anything that would make me trade it for my truck.

I like the back bumper, the front bumper has a bit of an aev feel to it.

For why no rock sliders??!!

If well oiled men are your thing (not that there's anything wrong with that) you could probably meet a few new ones driving that truck.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. There seems to be only one designer running the show in the Ram concept department, and they definitely have a style.

I don't understand the craze with roof-mounted LED bars. I see them on every lifted Chevy with a bro-lean here in CA. On the racecar it's our least-used light, does nothing but reflect off dust and give false impressions of how deep the holes are. It's only on in clean air (a rarity) and smooth sections with no danger markers. Bumper lights project shadows allowing the driver to judge the depth of holes and minimize reflected light to the driver's eyes. I'd definitely put a quality spot/cornering bar in that front bumper, I've been looking at the KC bumper for the same purpose.

I had a theory the Rebel bumper would fit the PW.

No thank you, other than I like the idea of the rear bumper (minus the dorky looking skid plate in the middle).

As much as I like the the changes on '17 that's coming out, I think this SEMA concept brings the Power Wagon firing out of the stone age and into the present on a missile. Seriously bad ass and modern looking truck while keeping that throwback vibe. Id love to try to replicate this as much as possible when I get mine. ONLY things Id lose is the mango rings on the wheels and the anodizing in the interior...oh, and no mango on the seats. :doh:
But everything else.... :drool:

I can only imagine the damage the bed rack/simulated cab extension, tin foil(making it look like a MegaCab without the actual benefits of a MegaCab),will do during a few flexes...to each their own...I guess. However, this thing looks like a cheap plastic toy, something you'd see in the Wal-Mart toy section, did HotWheels design this flashy...trryuuck?! To much "Hey love at me & my tiny, hung like a wild bull hamster, cock, that I'm overcompensating"; for me...no thanks, I'll pass on this abortion. Fail...

I dig it!!! I'm not hugely enamored with the bed rack stuff but, I like the integrated roof rack. I also like the fact that it is a LOT more aggressive looking to give it some more differentiation from standard 2500s. The only things I don't like are:
The front tow points look pretty spindly, not sure I'd trust them in a recovery.
The rear tow points look a bit beefier but aren't in line with the frame so, I wonder how their bracketry would fare in a recovery???
The interior well, it's a bit too flashy for my taste, I don't much go for red seats with tire tread accents.

Ram Macho Power Wagon concept

Post by bdk » Fri Nov 04, 2016 10:47 am

I pretty much like everything but the color, graphics and the village people inspired name. Macho? Seriously?

It's certainly not for everyone but I like function of the bed rack and that the rear slides out of the way when not needed. I also like the low profile roof rack and lightbar. With a less obnoxious color and more subtle graphics or non at all the truck would look a lot less "hot wheels". I realize that SEMA is all about turning heads and most of these parts won't make it into production but I'd like to see a few of them make it into the Mopar catalog
