i own a 2012 PW and my god its fuckin machine it climbs hills with ease and it never got stuck worth shit while i carry a 2008 800 can am on back and thats get to jimbos house, every on the block knows me and the wagon kick up dirt :p while my neighbors pussy raptor is a shelf queen and besides every rapor owner ive met so far is scared to kick up dirt with it!
Just so everybody knows i watched a ram power wagon and ford raptor pull off on fresh blacktop and 2 times out of 2 the power wagon kicked the raptors ass. the raptor never had a chance. its pussy built and designed for nothing but jumping. looks cool but in the woods or mud it doesnt stand a chance.
@iamshootful actually no,, the raptor was designed for dessert running and stuff like that, it has higher gears and longer travel,, but does not have crawl gears or anything related to rock crawling, and dodge isn't competing against them,, dodge had power wagons long before ford had anything off-road.
@spankybrandonf yes true and i have alot of respect for the rams but still i think its funny that just a few years ago the raptor came out and then this comes out to compete
@iamshootful well they all have been competing ever since they realized that the world wanted more offroad ready vehicles, jeep and land-rover ruled the world, then Suzuki started making things better, then ford,, and im sure Chevy(gm) will come out with some cool offroad ready vehicle here soon too. but jeep started it with 4 new models that are trail ready, when they realized they needed to compete with land rover more.
buddy boy, the power wagon has been around since the 30's. Ram doesn't pull punches or spew bullshit, you might be used to that stuff from the other 2. Dodge had the first diesel trucks, and the only diesel trucks through the early 40's. Dodge is humble, but extremely capable. Next time someone tells you who's better, just listen to what they have to say, then watch a dodge pull their piece of shit out of the mud.
@boon222222 I dont think you know what your talking about. Dodge is junk. The 5.9L 360 is a gas hog. Dodge has a junk front end, junk rear end, and lets not forget about the tranny. Dodges trannys are junk too. you would be lucky to get 40,000 miles on a tranny. Before you have to have rebuild it. Ford is the best truck you can buy. How will I prove it they are the best selling truck for what 35 years now. their not best selling truck for nothing. Ford = God in truck world.
what are you talking about? my dad used to have an '01 1500 with the 360 in it, never really had a problem that I could recall, got 140.000 miles out of the tranny with rough driving in harsh conditions. He finally sold it because he got a new truck and it was taking up space. I would have gladly taken it if I had needed it, those 360's were unstoppable. I'll admit that dodges tranny's aren't where they should be, but they weren't pieces of junk like fords.
@boon222222 Like I said how is a junk ford best selling truck for like 35 years in a row now. They cant be junk and sell more then any other truck on the market. Guess what truck will haul more then any other truck on the market that right. FORD, Chevy is 21,000LBS. Dodge is only 22,000LBS. and the almighty FORD is 24,400 LBS. THAT IS ONLY A TON MORE THEN DODGE WILL HAUL. But somehow they are junk. You my friend had way too many Dodges. move to FORD see you will see a real truck.
@kappagreen71 Up untill 2013 there has been no set rules or required tests for vehicles and there tow ratings, it has been up to each company to do there own tests. Starting in 2013 all light duty trucks, 3 ton and less, will have to complete the test before they can claim a payload or tow rating. The only company currently following the new testing 100% is Toyota. IMO I would not push these small trucks to theses weights, sure they will pull, it's stopping when shit goes south.
@yetilikesbeer Like I said they will not just put anynumber down they do some testing and FORD said their truck will haul more then any other truck on the market. Thats right more then Chevy, Dodge, all other trucks ford is the best selling truck for like 35 years in a row now. you cant do that and have a junk truck. Put it this way. do you go to walmart and buy something junk knowing its junk, thats right you dont. Their is a reason ford is selling more then any other truck.
@kappagreen71 ford is the best selling truck because they keep getting replaced for a new one in that's true and if you want a truck that's going to last a long time i will buy a Dodge or a Chevy
@CALLWILLIE100 I will put it this way you like DODGE AND CHEVY. I like FORD. And you no matter what you say you cant change it. I work on cars for a living and I work on chevy 90 Percent of the time. I work on ford too but no where near as much as I have to work on Chevy, and Dodge is the same way.
I have nothing against ford or any other truck maker (except for the chink pieces of shit) I'm a big dodge guy because I was raised around them and have always loved them. I can honestly say without bias that dodge makes great trucks, statistics prove it. just because people buy something for 35 years, doesn't make it good. people are morons, I could freeze fecal matter onto a stick and sell it as a fudge bar. I'm not here to argue with you, so please don't make me post again.
Dont understand why people try to compare the Ram Powerwagon and the Ford Raptor. They are two different trucks ment for two different activities. The Raptor is for the people who want to have fun in the sand. The Powerwagon is for the people who have to work in out of the way places. I like both of them but I'll spend my money on the Powerwagon.
The power wagon is the best thing competitive automakers could throw at fords f-150 Raptor. Its pry rediculasly overpriced just like all dodge trucks, yet every component fails and you will be on transmission number 3 by 100k miles.
something that i never got, rock crawlers have HUGE tires and no weight, just the opposite would make more sense, in theory your contact patch being smaller, and more weight per sq in. thus improving traction...hence this big ole' ram managing to scale seemingly impossible walls
I think i would take this over the Raptor. Much more subtle. Besides, i doubt i would be going as fast as the raptor was intended to go offroad anyway. I live in a mountain, the ram is more suited for my climate. Solidity and subtlety.

@sebaslebass they say its because its to heavy, and wheelin my 06 cummins i see and and truthfully would rather the hemi in that truck, more rpm for more wheel speed per gear and its lighter front end
Im a ford guy, i like the raptor, its cool. But i wish ford would do something like this, just a plain and simple go were ever you need to work truck. Lifted 2 inches from the regular height like this truck is and some more aggressive tires.
This truck is awesome. It doesnt need a Cummins, that would be foolish. Diesel is too heavy for a serious off road truck. I have a Ram 1500 4x4 BHE I bought brand new, and the ONLY way I would get rid of my truck, is if I could trade it in for one of these new PW's. My truck has gone into some serious offroad situations in stock form, and came out looking like a champ. But this PW would leave it behind on the trail. Now if only this economy didnt suck.........
@Sodiumreactor Any offroading enthusiast will choose a diesel over a gasoline option for a serious offroad journey, more reliable when things get hot, cold, dirty, and a proper diesel will provide low end torque figures that allow for over coming the hardest of obstacles without juicing the crap out of it. In a serious offroad vehicle the weight difference of a diesel vs a petrol engine will not matter, and weight provides better traction and friction in tough situations anyway.
@deanbassist01 Weight does provide better traction in most cases, yes. But put all that weight up front, then try to push it through the mud/snow/sand, and the result is normally your front tires sinking down and ending your journey. I off road in all types of terrain with my gas engine, and thats how I like it.
@kowal789 power is not the only component in an off road situation. More often than not, too much power will get you in trouble. In the case of diesel drivers who only know how to push their left foot down to the floorboard, its downright catastrophic.
A Cummins would make this beast even heavier than it is now. But something with more low-end torque than the 5.7 Hemi would be nice. It'd be cool to have one of these then get a stroker kit and bump it up to somewhere around 6.5 liters. Having a peak torque of at least 475 lb-ft at no more than 3500 rpm, that would be better.
@aningloriusjew They did but they sold the brand name to China, it was called Hummer, funny how easy it was to forget them after they sopped making the H1 isn't it?
Yeah, but in regard to this video, I wasn't referring to street trucks, I was referring to off-road trucks. The Tundra isn't necessarily good off-road, but Ford doesn't really have it any better. Unless modified, neither can do much beyond minor dirt trails and maybe a little rock-climbing. The Power Wagon is probably better in terms of more "extreme" off-roading, but it's obviously doesn't have speed. But Toyota's smaller trucks and SUVs are pretty good off-road especially their old one.
I did include the Raptor. That's what I was referring to when I said "Ford". Honestly, none of Ford's other trucks can come close to Toyota's trucks (i.e. 4Runner, Tacoma, FJ Cruiser) in terms of off-road performance. But I don't include the Tundra in that list because of its street oriented design. To me, interior's OK, frame IS poor quality, but I think it's better looking than the F-150 and Silverado/Ram 1500.
@taitai907 i dont have the time to explain this. google the raptor, then get back when you understand its one of the most off road capable vehicles ever built. no other truck can touch it in the desert. width is the only issue. Looky here : svtoffroad com/showthread.php?23-Raptor-Run-1-Anza-Borrego-Desert-State-Park-2010-01-30
You don't need to get heated. I never said the Raptor sucked. If that's your favorite truck, cool. Mine is the 1990 4Runner. Not fast, but durable and extremely good off-road.
@taitai907 im not heated, just tired of dealing with idiots all the time. toyota doesnt yet understand how to build a truck. the tundra frame looks like something a group of drunk teenagers would build in shop class 101. i cant count the number of recalls that thing has had. the motor is mid-pack. the interior is just weird looking.
fyi, the raptor is not my "favorite" truck, its MY truck. post vids of your 4Runner, they are nice.
I agree in terms of full-sized trucks, but they own in compact pick-ups. The Tacoma is good, although I don't really like it, but where they shine is the old Pick-Up/Hilux. I'll probably post a video of my 4Runner when i take it off the road.
Actually, no. The Pick-up was discontinued in the US in the mid '90s. The Tacoma is the US equivalent of the Hilux here from 1995 and up, but it is a different truck. The frame is most noticeably much weaker than its foreign counterpart.
@taitai907 the us ranger is much different than the global ranger. europe has no 1/2 ton trucks, so of course their compacts are going to be built stronger. but there, where a HD truck can tow 27k lbs, you cant have a "that'l do" chassis
You men are absolutly correct! -With the technology these modern car/truck manufactures possess you would think they would know how to "Beef Up" the differential and the transaxle of such a Rig, as this, to handle the In-line Six Cylinder Cummins.
Seriously... I could only imagine the potential of such a "BEAST."
Is it possible.. yes.. of course. Will RAM evolutionary's do it....... I think not. We could only hope they do. If they every did RAM would have, yet again, evolved to Rocky peaks.

@RM250D8rzr , i think the H1 could be classifyes as a FULL SIZE, there quite large. the Ford high boy came from the factory lifted and with beffy king pin D60 front and D70 rear. the rear is probly simmler to the dodge but the front D60 on a high boy is much better than the shit dodge uses. I hate dodge with a firey passion because they caused my family much pain, but the power wagon is a cool idea.
@RM250D8rzr, my dad does snowplowing and he got a 08 ram 3500 with the 6.7 cummins and it really let him down, it has less then 40,000 on it and is on its 4th turbo, 2nd ECU, and the fron end has had sevreal problems. it has also had 13 recalles peformed on it. when you depend on a truck for a living this really sucks. he is now going back to a ford f-350, and will probly never change again.
@123abcpa the front ends on the dodges arnt the best. better upgrading to a carrlile front end kit. and for sure if ur hauling a heavy plow around on the front. and the turbos are failing becuase of the emmision shit. it puts soot back in to ur motor. though the turbo. i really think he would of had no better luck with the ford. there terrible on fuel. worse then the dodge.
@123abcpa im not gonna go say to remove all that stuff becuase people dont wanna void warrenty. he made the right deciion going with dodge. now its a good time to go with a ford. or a newer dodge.
@RM250D8rzr, i told him to ditch the dpf but he's just sick of looking at it. he likes the ford better he just got a good deal on this dodge (cheap for a reason) i figure its better to pay $55 g's for a truck you know you can trust. just my thoughts
@123abcpa haha well thats his choice. i dont think ford is better in every way tho. they all have there good and bad points. nothing will beat the cummins even if the new 6.7 has more power. its not like its gonna stand up to a cummins just yet. its to new. in 2012 cummins motors come with 1000 ft-lbs and i think the truck gets some changes. new tranny's exc.. i like fords but i like dodges more. and not just for the motor.
@RM250D8rzr, well i do like the new look of the ram alot better than the last few, but if it has the 6.7 cummins in it i will stay far away from it. i know the new fords have dpf too but i hope they get it somewhat right atleast. im a 7.3 powerstroke guy myself and love them to death. the 5.9 cummins where good too but dodge trucks just dont fly with me. and after i saw what my dad truck did to him i will stick with the fords.
@123abcpa haha well i cant change ur prefrence. the cummins is bullet proof. just not the earth saveing shit on it. you should buy an older cummins. 2 gen
@123abcpa . if i ran a fleet of trucks. id probley buy fords. but it depends. and have my dodge as my personal truck. but id never keep a ford.. id buy dodge if i were gonna keep a fleet a long time
The raptor wouldn't last long in the actual sand anyways! If I had that kind of money to purchase raptor or power wagon I would have to go with neither. If the PW had a diesel I would get the PW but until it gets a diesel the 1500 with a hemi has really good gas mileage for a truck and fords 5.4l just can't touch it!
Honestly, I'd take this over a Raptor. They're both sick trucks..but the Raptor is designed to fly over the desert, which isn't really accessible for a lot of people (including me). This is a go anywhere, do anything workhorse.
@Aonexia BINGO !! Why the Cummins isn't offered in the Power Wagon is just dumb! Dodge keeps making dumb decisions! When I sold my '07 5.7 2500 HD RAM, I swore I would not by another Gas Truck. The Power Wagon has everything I would won't from the factory, except the Cummins Diesel option. Wake up Dodge!
@six6wings thats because the cummins would blow the lockers out and make it weagh more. the tranny would go to hell if you wheeled it for a full day with the tq of the cummins too. also the new 6.7 is a total P.O.S. all the emissions shit ruined it.
I LOVE THIS THING! for stock at moab(ive been there) and the locker and the elec sway bar is sweet and the raptor and power wagan r 2 diff pickups for 2 diff things
@Dodgeram591 i have a 2005 power wagon which has the same engine and drive train now mine does have 35s and suspension work done to it but i get 8 in the city and 12 on the high way. so if you want good millage get a honda civic if you want a bad ass off road tuck get a power wagon
@puregamer88 the powr wagon just looks better doing it and it comes with a 12,000lb winch and looking axels and a heavy duty chasis, i think power wagons better
@puregamer88 Yeah, they are two completly differn't trucks. The Doge is more of a work truck, and capable of climbing over stuff. The Ford is just for fun and going fast .
@puregamer88 yeah, theyre totally different rigs. the raptor is more of a performance, race inspired off-roader. the power wagon is just what its name says. its a puller and a work horse. so i hear ya lol
beautiful TRUCK DODGE ALL THE WAYYYYY.........

@kowal789 power is not the only component in an off road situation. More often than not, too much power will get you in trouble. In the case of diesel drivers who only know how to push their left foot down to the floorboard, its downright catastrophic.

DrFrat 1 year ago
A Cummins would make this beast even heavier than it is now. But something with more low-end torque than the 5.7 Hemi would be nice. It'd be cool to have one of these then get a stroker kit and bump it up to somewhere around 6.5 liters. Having a peak torque of at least 475 lb-ft at no more than 3500 rpm, that would be better.

@taitai907 tundra doesnt count, its got nothing on any other truck. chevy has nothing
EatmyDust1311 1 year ago
I'd say it does considering, with its supercharger, it has the most horsepower of any trucks except for the old Ram SRT which had only 6 more horses.
taitai907 1 year ago
@taitai907 supercharger? street trucks are pointless and you can put a supercharger on anything. a supercharged TuRD is still a TuRD.
EatmyDust1311 1 year ago
Yeah, but in regard to this video, I wasn't referring to street trucks, I was referring to off-road trucks. The Tundra isn't necessarily good off-road, but Ford doesn't really have it any better. Unless modified, neither can do much beyond minor dirt trails and maybe a little rock-climbing. The Power Wagon is probably better in terms of more "extreme" off-roading, but it's obviously doesn't have speed. But Toyota's smaller trucks and SUVs are pretty good off-road especially their old one.
taitai907 1 year ago
@taitai907 your forgetting the raptor. the tundra is a pos of a truck. frame is shit, interior is shit, featureless... and its ugly.
EatmyDust1311 1 year ago
I did include the Raptor. That's what I was referring to when I said "Ford". Honestly, none of Ford's other trucks can come close to Toyota's trucks (i.e. 4Runner, Tacoma, FJ Cruiser) in terms of off-road performance. But I don't include the Tundra in that list because of its street oriented design. To me, interior's OK, frame IS poor quality, but I think it's better looking than the F-150 and Silverado/Ram 1500.
taitai907 1 year ago
@taitai907 i dont have the time to explain this. google the raptor, then get back when you understand its one of the most off road capable vehicles ever built. no other truck can touch it in the desert. width is the only issue. Looky here : svtoffroad com/showthread.php?23-Raptor-Run-1-Anza-Borrego-Desert-State-Park-2010-01-30
i know what a raptor can do. ive done it.
EatmyDust1311 1 year ago
You don't need to get heated. I never said the Raptor sucked. If that's your favorite truck, cool. Mine is the 1990 4Runner. Not fast, but durable and extremely good off-road.
taitai907 1 year ago
@taitai907 im not heated, just tired of dealing with idiots all the time. toyota doesnt yet understand how to build a truck. the tundra frame looks like something a group of drunk teenagers would build in shop class 101. i cant count the number of recalls that thing has had. the motor is mid-pack. the interior is just weird looking.
fyi, the raptor is not my "favorite" truck, its MY truck. post vids of your 4Runner, they are nice.
EatmyDust1311 1 year ago
I agree in terms of full-sized trucks, but they own in compact pick-ups. The Tacoma is good, although I don't really like it, but where they shine is the old Pick-Up/Hilux. I'll probably post a video of my 4Runner when i take it off the road.
taitai907 1 year ago
@taitai907 the hilux is the tacoma here. the reason its better than the others is because they havent been changed in 13 years, like the ranger.
EatmyDust1311 1 year ago
Actually, no. The Pick-up was discontinued in the US in the mid '90s. The Tacoma is the US equivalent of the Hilux here from 1995 and up, but it is a different truck. The frame is most noticeably much weaker than its foreign counterpart.
taitai907 1 year ago
@taitai907 the us ranger is much different than the global ranger. europe has no 1/2 ton trucks, so of course their compacts are going to be built stronger. but there, where a HD truck can tow 27k lbs, you cant have a "that'l do" chassis

You men are absolutly correct! -With the technology these modern car/truck manufactures possess you would think they would know how to "Beef Up" the differential and the transaxle of such a Rig, as this, to handle the In-line Six Cylinder Cummins.
Seriously... I could only imagine the potential of such a "BEAST."
Is it possible.. yes.. of course. Will RAM evolutionary's do it....... I think not. We could only hope they do. If they every did RAM would have, yet again, evolved to Rocky peaks.

@RM250D8rzr , i think the H1 could be classifyes as a FULL SIZE, there quite large. the Ford high boy came from the factory lifted and with beffy king pin D60 front and D70 rear. the rear is probly simmler to the dodge but the front D60 on a high boy is much better than the shit dodge uses. I hate dodge with a firey passion because they caused my family much pain, but the power wagon is a cool idea.
123abcpa 1 year ago
@123abcpa sucks you have bad luck. iv hurd nothing but and had nothing but good with dodge.
RM250D8rzr 1 year ago
@RM250D8rzr, my dad does snowplowing and he got a 08 ram 3500 with the 6.7 cummins and it really let him down, it has less then 40,000 on it and is on its 4th turbo, 2nd ECU, and the fron end has had sevreal problems. it has also had 13 recalles peformed on it. when you depend on a truck for a living this really sucks. he is now going back to a ford f-350, and will probly never change again.
123abcpa 1 year ago
@123abcpa the front ends on the dodges arnt the best. better upgrading to a carrlile front end kit. and for sure if ur hauling a heavy plow around on the front. and the turbos are failing becuase of the emmision shit. it puts soot back in to ur motor. though the turbo. i really think he would of had no better luck with the ford. there terrible on fuel. worse then the dodge.
RM250D8rzr 1 year ago
@123abcpa im not gonna go say to remove all that stuff becuase people dont wanna void warrenty. he made the right deciion going with dodge. now its a good time to go with a ford. or a newer dodge.
RM250D8rzr 1 year ago
@RM250D8rzr, i told him to ditch the dpf but he's just sick of looking at it. he likes the ford better he just got a good deal on this dodge (cheap for a reason) i figure its better to pay $55 g's for a truck you know you can trust. just my thoughts
123abcpa 1 year ago
@123abcpa haha well thats his choice. i dont think ford is better in every way tho. they all have there good and bad points. nothing will beat the cummins even if the new 6.7 has more power. its not like its gonna stand up to a cummins just yet. its to new. in 2012 cummins motors come with 1000 ft-lbs and i think the truck gets some changes. new tranny's exc.. i like fords but i like dodges more. and not just for the motor.
RM250D8rzr 1 year ago
@RM250D8rzr, well i do like the new look of the ram alot better than the last few, but if it has the 6.7 cummins in it i will stay far away from it. i know the new fords have dpf too but i hope they get it somewhat right atleast. im a 7.3 powerstroke guy myself and love them to death. the 5.9 cummins where good too but dodge trucks just dont fly with me. and after i saw what my dad truck did to him i will stick with the fords.
123abcpa 1 year ago

The raptor wouldn't last long in the actual sand anyways! If I had that kind of money to purchase raptor or power wagon I would have to go with neither. If the PW had a diesel I would get the PW but until it gets a diesel the 1500 with a hemi has really good gas mileage for a truck and fords 5.4l just can't touch it!

Honestly, I'd take this over a Raptor. They're both sick trucks..but the Raptor is designed to fly over the desert, which isn't really accessible for a lot of people (including me). This is a go anywhere, do anything workhorse.
