IDK, I might end up buying this one, to add to the one I have of course!

Re: 2017 Power Wagon
So they really didn't do anything to improve the '16, they just put on an ugly grill and an ugly tailgate. Glad I got the '16, because that grill is seriously ugly. I think they could have made that RAM emblem on the tailgate bigger though, LOL.

Re: 2017 Power Wagon
Really, they should put POWER WAGON in place of RAM on the tailgate.

Re: 2017 Power Wagon
The black bumpers and wheels do way more for this truck than the big RAM, optional side sticker or new black grill take away from it.
I actually like the new grill better than the Rebel grill, I think it has to do with the proportions of the 2500 front end and the all black bumper on the PW.


If someone hates the grill so much, thats an easy swap back to a regular grill.

Re: 2017 Power Wagon
I like it, looks better than the Rebel. Blacked out bumpers and grill really go well with the black projector lights.
Re: 2017 Power Wagon
I liked the video's too, but in all honesty, our Toyota Corolla could have went all the places they showed the PW going-----with the exception of 2 (the platform stepdown/up & the rock at the very end of the video). Just sayin'. They need to show what it can REALLY do.
Kinda like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMzlXDf07kQ ...........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TClCqnEeiGA
Even though 4Lo, 1st gear, lockers locked, does the same thing in my truck. Shit like that is where my 78:1 crawl ratio comes in handy. They really need to make the stick shift again----or an auto with the same gear ratios as the G-56.

It's kinda like yogurt. It's perfectly good cream but you let it sit around for days complaining it's stinks. Then you plug your nose and add some fruit. Stir it up and before you know it. Everyone loves it and just can't get enough!

Those yota Vids are kinda lame. Being that they get stuck in 5" of sand. Let's see them get outta this!! Also an example why you don't drive into a slough. After 4 days of constant drizzle.

Re: 2017 Power Wagon
Oh it'll grow on you all. When the splash hit we thought it was hideous, now we like it or at least tolerate it. And it keeps the threads active! Me....I might get it, and dump my new AEV diesel I've been drooling over. But I just want 35" not 37s and I'm not sure if a 35 will fit as spare. Plus I have to run chains.

Re: 2017 Power Wagon
To bad it is just cosmetic changes. It looks like a Rebel on steroids. That is my opinion. Now if it had some hardware updates that would be awesome. Like the 8 speed automatic or a transfer case with 3.5 or 4 to 1 gears. Then I might consider giving up my Laramie for one. Listening to the video it does sound like the Laramie is gone from the PW line-up. Which is too bad since I prefer the stealthy look better.

Re: 2017 Power Wagon
Not that my opinion matters lol.... But I absolutely love the way RAM is heading with their designs. The new grill and wheels and the graphics package all just says I don't give a damn what you think about me or this truck!! It honestly looks like it eats F-150's and shits Silverados. It's about time the power wagon got some different styling than the other HD trucks

Re: 2017 Power Wagon
I like the "Power Wagon" on the tailgate, not so much the Ram. The bed graphic I'm not sure. I like the black bumpers and wheels, but I am not a fan of chrome. The rest, To me does not matter. I don't see getting rid of mine for a while.

This is how it has looked since it was two months old. You can guess where my opinion lies.

On a personal level I like stickers and strong PW branding. That said, Ram all over it instead of PW dilutes that. Add to that Ram AND power Wagon written out on a tailgate and you have something entirely too busy.
Oh, and FWIW I got told I had a "damn sexy truck" tonight at Advance Auto Parts.

Re: 2017 Power Wagon
Yesterday I had an elderly fellow come up to me at a gas station and say "I can't believe you bought a new truck, and bought it with a gas engine". Ok, whatever, is what I'm thinking. But then I tried to explain it to him. We were standing in front of my truck, so I said, "you see that winch right there", as I pointed to the winch. He looked at the winch, and I explained that this was a Power Wagon, which was an off road truck that came from the factory with a winch and locking differentials, and that the winch took up the space that would be needed for the intercooler, so you couldn't get a diesel engine with the Power Wagon. He then asked "it comes with locking hubs?", and walked around the side of the truck to look. I said, "no, it comes with locking differentials". He then just blew that off, and said, "they all come with locking differentials, thats what makes them a 4-wheel drive". After that I just gave up, and talked to him about how great his diesel truck was.Luke Duke wrote: Oh, and FWIW I got told I had a "damn sexy truck" tonight at Advance Auto Parts.
