"I'm just throwing everything in here so it's not a half-hour long video." Posts a half-hour long video. LOL! Great review, thanks! :)

Great job on video. Well laid out. 30 minutes was a lot but it was all useful information and no fluff. Real review from real owner. Fresh perspective compared to the internet car reviews that buy a fleet of vehicles to "test" for a year or are loaned them by the manufacturer. Thanks for posting!

Justin, oil changes. Break the filter loose and then cover it with a 1gal zip lock bag, then unscrew it off the motor. It will not catch 100% of the oil, but it will catch quite a bit, then just zip the bag shut and put it in the trash. Easy.

Justin, I am thinking of buying a PW but what you said about the brakes was bothersome so I did a little research and found that this is a common problem with these. You need a "scan tool" connected to the computer to open the ABS valves - then bleed the brakes. After that the sponginess is gone and good solid brakes again. I hope you see this. Art from Ohio

I have a 19 PW and your dead on about MPG. Good to know about the brakes. Sweet setup.

You made the right choice. The Gladiator has tons of problem like fake defroster vents and a bad windshield

I had a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon and I bought a 2022 Power Wagon and I’m extremely happy I did. It’s a Gladiator on steroids, more comfortable,more space, 12,000 lb. Winch , there’s only one draw back, gas mileage but you don’t buy a three quarter ton truck for the fuel mileage. I put a cat back on my truck because I didn’t like the look of where they put the resonator . I’ve got the level 2 Power Wagon. I still have a 2005 Wrangler Rubicon LJ .

I love how he says he’s throwing everything in so the video isn’t 30 minutes but still ends up 30 minutes this is absolutely my dream truck and striving to get that bad boy

Brakes: Check the pads themselves. FCA had a bad habit of using tiny pads, the pad holder is normal sized on my Chrysler 200C AWD but the pads were half the size. I replaced them (Still nearly 80% of the pad left) at under 40,000 miles and the new Ceramic pads had 2x the contact area. The difference in braking is day and night.

When you said Larimer County Landfill after saying you were in Colorado I thought you were in Ft. Collins. My Grandmother used to live in Adrial Hills and I went to a volleyball camp in 1991 at CSU and was the only guy out of 104 campers. 😎

Got 13k on my 19 wagon and I absolutely love it. Good video.

Awesome awesome awesome Power Wagon!!! Love it and everything you’ve done to it. Good to know on the 35”+ for the spare! Love to see some off road videos with it. 👍👍

I just bought my PowerWagon yesterday, the exact same color but with black rims. I love this truck so far and am I am happy I took the plunge on buying it. She's expensive but I feel great driving it.

According to 2 RAM techs, the 6.4 liter in that Power Wagon is designed to run with 88-89 octane to get the best performance. It will run just fine on 87 octane. Just designed to run on mid-grade fuel.

Good stuff man. I have an S&B on my 2019 Hemi and you may want to get an over sock for your filter if you are gonna run it off road do to the dust I'm sure you encounter. Wonderful throttle response and economy, totally worth it!

SSBC or EBC brakes. My ancient (2002) F350 is running 35's. I put drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic brake pads. World of difference...

I bought the gladiator over the power wagon , it’s been a great truck . I would enjoy the space you have in your ram . But honestly for I’m doing on my farm hunting and hog hunting and off roading it’s hard to beat. Nice truck man

I expect a commission since I shoved my PW in your garage.

For your braking problem, I had a ram that did the same thing replaced front & rear with drilled & slotted rotors & ceramic pads stoped on a dime. Try it you will see a major diff.

Love hearing a Ford guy converted to Ram. I just traded my F150 5.0 that I’ve been driving for almost 7 years and loved for my new PW. Dealership was 2 hours away and driving the PW home I fell in love with it. Best decision! Thanks for an amazing thorough real world chat about how a PW is as a daily driver. Did you post a link for the exhaust? Is it bolt on or welded? Amazing sound.

I put upgraded pads on my Ram. Huge difference. I two a two car hauler gooseneck. You can barely tell it's there. I put about leveling airbags on the rear and disc brakes on the trailer. It goes over Wolf creek pass with no complaints At 60k the header bolts failed. Found out it's very common. I put solo loud muffler and it sounds great. Nice review

My dad got a 2018 2500 model with the 6.4 hemi, for like 40-or-something thousand. Kunes Country was the MVP for the hookup

I also track my mileage on Fuelly. I can compare my 2018 Tundra, a half-ton truck, to your PowerWagon. My Tundra has a lifetime average (2 years, 16 000miles) of 11.2 MPG. My best tank was also 15.6 MPG. My worst tank (8.63 MPG) was this spring when I was hauling 10 000lb load after load of clean fill in a dump trailer while landscaping. I think my average should be better, but for the first year of the truck's life, it did mostly short trips of 2-3kms, not really having a chance to warm up at all (I also live in Manitoba, where it gets really, really cold, which doesn't help). Now I have a beater car for the short daily trips, and the truck only gets used on longer trips where it will have a chance to warm up and stop dumping fuel into a cold engine. My average should be going up over the next year.

My late father was on the board of directors of Cummins Inc. manufacturing.

Really appreciate your video and honest and detailed information on the Power Wagon my man, just subscribed! Thank you and I cannot wait to see Brad’s video too. Been thinking about a JLU Rubicon, but want space/room/storage in the vehicle and want the vehicle to have good capability out of the gate to get out and explore, camp, and get off the grid...Thanks again bud! 👊👍🇺🇸

Fantastic, full feature, deep-dive review, thank you for taking the time to do such a thorough, superlative job 🤝.

When you change the oil grab the filter with a zip lock bag as you twisting it off the bag will catch the oil. Problem solved, I had the same problem, just don’t let it be too hot obviously.

Great video. I have just over 200 miles on my 2020 PW, and just love it. I came from a 4 door Tacoma TRD, put 253,500 trouble free miles on it but it was too small for my kids and dogs. I also looked at a Gladiator, but it was smaller than my Tacoma. I made the right choice.

Great video, thanks for taking the time to film it. I'm looking really hard at the Power Wagon. Will be towing my 2 dr JK behind it. I'm thinking the Power Wagon can handle it😎

Each oil change adds x13 corrosion protection power to the undercarriage. :) And on the hawes fairlead, it should be polished smoother than what Dodge, err, Ram, has done with that coating. Rollers runs the risk of pinching the synthetic line at the roller end bushings and cutting it.

Those RAM mounts are solid, great video.

I have the 2018 twin to yours, like your interior upgrades from the 18 like heated rear and power ports. Love my truck, towed a 34ft trailer with no issues. Had to put a canopy on mine so I get some drone from the non-stock exhaust. My mpg is 12.5 city/highway on reg fuel with occasional 14s if my foot is light and run premium. Stock wheels and tires, 35s coming soon. Totally agree on the brakes!

I have a 2019 tradesman short four door. Love everything about it. However, Next one will be the extra four door with ram boxes. I use the backseat as a work closet... So... Thanks for all of your videos!

You have a beautiful truck I love the color. I would love to have a power wagon. Nice job on the exhaust it sounds great.

Best review I’ve ever seen - I’m buying a PW now .... but will wait till end of the year ... I currently have a 1500 EcoDiesel ... love it to bits but can’t beat the presence and comfort of the new PW’s!

12,000 miles in one year. I guess you only drive it on weekends. I did that in 3 months.

Looking at a 2022 Power Wagon tomorrow! Very excited!!

Great video Justin. I just purchased my new 2020 PW last week. Also, some excellent info in the comments about upgrades! Thanks!

I couldn’t afford the Power Wagon. So, I went with a 2021 2500 Tradesmen with the Power Wagon Package to save until I could afford the full Power Wagon. I just ordered it and should have it in about 6 weeks!

16:11. You could load the under floor storage space with some survival preparedness supplies. The type of stuff you will hopefully never need, but if ever you do, you'd be happy you have it there. 👍

Was looking for PW vids and found your channel. Wanting to buy a new PW within next 6 months. Looking forward to your adventures.

Have a jeep and looking at turning in my Chevy 1500 for the PW. I drove the 75th-anniversary edition yesterday and the wife fell in love with it. I was skeptical about the towing but I don't tow much over 10k anyways. I think the trailer or boat is 7500. thank you for answering a lot of questions I had. great video

Hey, thanks for sharing your Power Wagon with us. I've owned several different models of pick up trucks and was more partial to Fords. However, I love the looks of the Dodge Rams. As a retiree the Power Wagon is out of my budget limit and looked at a couple of used models for 30 grand, one 2018 and one 2016. The Gladiator is out as it has lost its attraction for me.

i have a 18 pw with airbags. my camper weighs 11k and it pulls it with no complaints, it gets 7-8 mpg towing but there is always enough power. wish it had the 8 speed and front camera but i dont like the new body style so i got the 18 instead of a 19.

I was laughing so hard because I did not even realize that there was more storage under the center seat! I’ll have to look in mine tomorrow.

Checkout Fumoto oil drain valve. They make draining the oil a breeze with no mess. There are several different types.

What a great review! I thoroughly enjoyed all 30 minutes and am seriously considering this as my next vehicle offroad, hunting, towing my wife's camper trailer and overlanding in Alaska.

I put all my tie downs in one side of the I floor storage. Stashed a first aid kit, and other goodies on the opposite side.

I’m in the same boat, either PW or Gladiator. Gladiator is expensive. PW can be had for the same price, but in my suburban home a bit too large to fit in my driveway, and probably more truck than I need. I drive a Frontier now and I like the size. But if I was going full size I would seriously consider a Power Wagon. Nice complete review.

Thanks great info. Michigan is high also on fees. I pay $240 on my GMC SLE all terrain. 6000 lbs. pulls 10,700 up 60 degree off road 15 city 19 highway. Love it 19 inch wheels. I’m 74 next truck the Dodge “Limited”. 4X4 mega cab 2500. 4 inch lift. I’m all crippled up and like luxury with 4 wheel security. Live on farm in snow belt Michigan

Yep, my door squeaks as well in cold weather on my PW.

Truck looks awesome I want to get one soon thanks for the review

Looks great! Only issue, won't fit in my garage.

On fuel grade...I mix my gas octane. I will fill tank with low grade fill up later with mid grade half way. I have a 2012 F350 C.C. 4x4 Lariat 6.2. I have not done what you did to figure what grade is best mileage but mine seems to do or like better 87! I am about same elevation as you. I am a Ford lover true and true. You could try a drain valve on your oil change

Justin while you are city driving put it in tow haul mode, it changea the shift points and you will see a significant mileage difference

Just ordered a Delmonico red 2021 PW, moving to Windsor this spring, I’m sure we will cross paths!

Going to order a new Tacoma Trd off road next year. Going with ARB Summit front bumper and Warn winch. Would you go 10k or 12. 5k winch? More for peace of mind than anything while in the Beartooth mountains near Red Lodge MT. Enjoyed the Alpine loop in our Jeep Liberty few yrs back. About as technical as we will ever get. Great videos thanks for posting.

Great video and review! Thank you for the honest review.

Just stumbled accross your channel, awesome awesome content!!!! I love about 2 hours north of Moab Utah, big Jeep guy but would loooove a power wagon!!!! Look forward to the review

I love how that truck sounds

i love the PW. I too did not buy a Jeep Gladiator because of the sticker price. I ended up getting a Chevy Bison and it has been a good truck so far.

Awesome details! Great video! Stellantis owns Jeep and Ram. Price differences are mostly due to demand. Many Jeeps are bought as a style statement and never taken on a dirt road. That's fine with me as an investor. I like the Gladiator but think it's underpowered. The PW is the best HD off-road. The biggest penalty is weight and in some cases size in close quarters. Great choice! Just my opinion.

In Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦 7.22 cents a gallon 2 dollars 💵 wow nice ride

Love my 2019. Have about 20k miles on it now. 12 city is normal, but 15.6 was the best running 65mph for about 350 miles

Oil filter was my deal killer, after having RAM 1500 for 2 years. Unless they change location of that oil filter I'm not getting another one.

I was looking into one of these after having 2 1500 Rams. What I didn't like during test ride was lack of response when hitting the gas paddle. My 1500 gets up and to much better with 5.7 HEMI. I did like everything else including no drone noise when switching to eco mode. It does have about as much HP and torque as 1500 so I decided to keep mine.

Hehe...I live in North Carolina. Our vehicle tax is not that bad, but when I was young and broke it was too high for my taste. So I got a Post Office Box down in South Carolina. I gave them a random street address to a real house (whose house, I have no idea) and the PO box as a mailing address. Annually, I would take a trip down to SC to get my registration renewals out of my PO box. Wherever government tries to take too much...it ends up getting NOTHING!

Santa dropped me a 2020 PW😃 I too have always been a Ford man until 2006! I wanted to try A Ram so I bought a 4X4 2006 new mega ram 1500, love it, to date has only 70k on it and never been in the shop👍 Run only non ethanol gas, and that goes for the PW, I love the PW but haven’t had a chance to really four wheel it yet, oh I kept the 2006 👍

Its not that the brakes are too small, its that the pads are garbage. Throw on a set of EBC yellow pads front and rear and your opinion will be changed. They're not cheap pads but they're worth every penny. I swapped the OE pads out for them on my PW at 20k miles and today at just under 60k miles, they still have a bit of life on them. 35" Toyo MTS on mine and I tow a 10k lb toy hauler probably 2500mi per year. They are great pads for these trucks!

While oil filter location is not great it does have a drip guide that keeps the mess to a minimum. I’m sure you noticed a small funnel located right under the filter, you just crack the filter and let it drip for a while slowly that way it only gets onto one crossbar and doesn’t splash all over the place.

Love the Power Wagon. I am a chevy guy but when it came to buying a new truck a couple years ago I went with Ram. I did not get the Power Wagon, went with the 1500 Sport with the 5.7 which for towing is rated at about the same as the Power Wagon. Would likely get a bit better millage with the Power Wagon when towing but everything has trade offs. And Brad bought a Power Wagon??? Guess I need to keep up better on Instagram.

$150 here in Idaho. Property tax is low too haha.

Can’t wait for the air intake review!

Hey Justin, hello from Kimball Nebraska! Great video and great review! Really appreciate you posting it. That format was easy to listen to and not a lot of junk music. I also would like to complain to the guy that put that oil filter right there! Someone should make an oil filter relocation kit for us 😉

Beautiful truck man..I love the color...I'm seriously thinking about the power wagon..thanks for the video very informative

10min mark: "just throwing everything out there so this isn't a 30min video" ;-) but I did like the video and got a lot of useful info.

If you remove that front seat center console you can build different boxes for whatever you need and they bolt right in. It's pretty useless as a seat, but the hidden storage is nice. I built a rifle carrier and ammo storage box for mine. A 12v cooler would be another idea.

Just FYI - the Gladiators start at $38k for the manual Sport. The Rubicon/Mojave just have tons of options that add about $15k to the price of a auto Sport model. I love the PW but the mpg would just really suck, which would for any HD truck though.

Happy you're loving your truck. WIth Ram or any Chrysler/Fiat products, my worry is more mid to long-term reliability. There's a lot of reviews out there in the KZfaq land that would be me fearful in forking over dollars for Ram but if you do keep this for a few more years it'll be interesting how you fair. - Never Mind, I just watched your 2 year review :)

I have Flowmaster Flow FX Straight Through Muffler on my Ram 2500 4/4 HEMI with no drone

I have a rebel and can confirm oil changes are no better on them.. Looking at upgrading to a Power Wagon now..

Great vid, just purchased a 2020 power wagon. What running boards do you have? Look great!

Your financial breakdown was awesome! I run similar evaluations and spreadsheets for my vehicles, hobbies etc. Is there anyway you can do a similar break down on your JL?

What brand and model are your running boards? Thanks!

Great video brother, thanks for honest info 👍🏽

I did an electric exhaust cutout on mine, it’s deeper and less raspy than a muffler delete because it doesn’t have to go through the resonator. And when I’m cruising with the fam, driving through the neighborhood, or want to hear the really nice stereo, I close it and it’s back to stock.

Thanks for the thorough review! You helped talk me into it - bought a 2020 Power Wagon last week! Any hitch recommendations?

My dad got a laramie in 2019 and put close to 90,000 km on the thing now

That’s why you change that filter on a turnrow

Just a suggestion, use wipes instead of toilet paper. They have more uses and when things get messy in the great outdoors they are priceless. Lol.

Ram boxes on the side of the bed are a great option to get. I have them on my 19 power wagon and store all my recovery and go bag gear in them.

Awesome video looking into buying at a 75th anniversary so I appreciate the detailed video

Great video, thank you for taking the time to make it and share it with us!! How long have you had your call sign??

This was a nice video for someone who is considering a Power Wagon. The fuel economy is worrisome, but the 1500 pound loaded weight seems like a deal breaker when I start adding up the weight of a bed vault and slider bed and a steel bed cap with a rack. I plan to pull an overland camper as well.

So my buddy has a power wagon, been with him a few times Or wheeling and that truck does not care LOL we see an obstacle it’ll go over it I don’t care how steep it is we follow jeeps all the time and they follow us.....Yeah that truck is way heavier than a Ford but it feels more stable when towing and has much better horsepower and torque , I don’t know what Dodge puts on their trucks for brakes but I had the same situation on a 1500 model and my buddy on a 2500 just not very good breaks from the factory for some reason I swap them out for a better grade and I’m telling you it was night and day difference it will stand on its nose now get new brake pads as soon as possible, and put a remote oil filter on there mounted under the hood or anywhere else you wanna put it well worth the money put on much bigger filters from Amsoil considerably better filtration , With oil essentially like a new the entire time it’s in the vehicle. PS my 2004 Durango at 5500 pounds and I will drive average is 16 in town and will get 20 to 21 on the highway easily and it will run on the cheapest gas I can buy I only gained 1 mpg on 89 octane which is what I tow with for much better torque and horsepower which is noticeable when used.

The brakes on the 3500 ram are boosted. The 2500, across all trims, has a mushy pedal. I have to pump brakes in my power wagon, neither of my 3500 rams had squishy pedals. Even my 2500 cummins had squishy brakes. Also, when I was in Cheyenne Wyoming I had the same gasoline results your seeing. However, once I moved back to North Carolina, where we have 93 octane, if I don’t run premium gasoline, I get ticking with 89 and knocks with 87. At 30k on the clock, I do get about 1-2 mpg better with premium but I use it mostly because my engine doesn’t sound like trash.

This may sound like a silly question but Do you know how high your garage door opening is? I ask because I have a pw and would like 35s but also don’t want to risk not fitting in my garage.

What’s the fuel economy like after the S&B??? Video idea..., I would watch that

Colorado guy here too, looking at a 2500 PW and a Cummins, just trying to decide

Love how simple this is front and rear locker and disconnected sway bar if I loved in USA I think this would be my choice
