X2! Love the Raptor, and think it would be a blast to drive, but I need a truck that can also tow and haul.04Ram2500Hemi wrote:I've always liked the Raptor for what it is, but it's never been the right truck for my lifestyle.
http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/t ... hers/page2I just finished a Colorado trip with my Raptor, a stock 2014 Jeep (4dr), and a brand new 2015 PowerWagon. I was extremely impressed by the Powerwagon in stock form. It climbed like a goat and rides very nice with the new suspension. It was probably the best riding 3/4 ton I have spent time in. The 6.4 mileage was about the same as the Raptor's 6.2 and both suck down the gas off-roading but 14-15mpg is doable on the highways between trails. If weight capacity was a concern of mine and I had the time to do more expeditioning, I would probably trade my Raptor for the Powerwagon.

I think the limits are less than that of a 1/2-ton. When they first came out, I think the max payload was something like 550 pounds. Furd seems a bit cagey about publishing that info, but the Rapturd sites talk about 950 pounds on the new ones. Not much, eh?The raptor is doing everything what it is expected to do. Let's not forget it is still ultimately just a ½ ton truck that will have limits of a ½ ton.
I Deffinately see what u mean but for a truck with that much dampening you think the frame would be stout as all eff.Pit Slave wrote:The raptor is doing everything what it is expected to do.

This is what separates the Power Wagon from it, the PW is ultimately a ¾ ton truck that has limits of a ¾ ton truck, just like the Rebel will have limits of a ½ ton.
