Love the look. What is the drop size in your receiver?? I need to get a new receiver to pull our 21' fish/ski boat. I am guessing 8"" or 10" drop??

olyelr -

Congratulations on the new Power Wagon.
Is that Max Steel or some other color?
I'm curious what your "official" payload capacity is?

Payload is limited because of the spring rating and the lawyers at FCA. It's not a huge concern. Just keep it within axle and tire ratings, that's all that really matters.

Yep. Thats why i pushed forward with my dream. This will haul anything i will ever tow.

I had quite a laugh this afternoon at work when i opened the door to my work van (2010 dodge caravan). Its payload is 15 pounds more than my 3/4 ton truck lmao!

We all know that the current PW payload rating #s are ridiculously low, but 1135 lb.s for a 3/4 ton truck.? :wtf:
For comparison, my last 3 truck's payload ratings ...
1992 FORD Ranger STX Supercab 4X4- 1200 lb.s
1996 Dodge Dakota ClubCab 4X4- 1800 lb.s
2005 Power Wagon crew- 2210 lb.s

I do agree totally with MikeKey.
