Re: New in Utah
Welocme to the crew!
Trust me. it won't take long.
I had a '98 Taco prior to the '09. The extra space is why we got the PW, and it was worth every bit of it. I only dropped 3 MPG too boot! My heavily loaded and modified Taco only got 14 to 15 when I sold it.
From seeing the Taco in the photo, I suspect your wallet will be shrinking with a few mods. I figured the PW had pretty much everything I wanted stock, but I was wrong...

Re: New in Utah
Thanks! I didn't remove the decals, it came that way.I guess because it's the ST trim. It only has the POWER WAGON across the tailgate. Kinda wish it had the decals on the hood, but glad it doesn't have the red stripe down the side.Juday wrote:Welcome! Did you remove all of the decals?

Re: New in Utah
LOL- I'm with Mark. I sold my 2004 Ram 2500 Hemi that I had done a lot of work to and bought my 2012 Power Wagon figuring it would be just fine out of the box and that I wouldn't need any mods. My damn list is still growing- Power Wagon owners are a bad influence on each other. Welcome to the club- I think you'll find it a fun place to find good info as well as ways to empty your back pocket.Cactus Red wrote:Welocme to the crew!

Re: New in Utah
Welcome! Good to see another Utah ST, although I just moved from SLC to Ft. Collins, CO. Vernal is a tough place to keep a black truck clean. Haha
Mine's white, and like you so glad it doesn't have red stripes down the sides. Yeah, pretty cool you can have a lot more room & comfort than you can in a Tacoma with similar mileage. Leave it stock if you want to maintain that, or add 35's and a bunch of weight and drop it down another 3mpg.
Enjoy it!
