First RAM Review! 2020 Ram Power Wagon Detailed Review

Рет қаралды 103,971

Күн бұрын

There are a lot of trucks with off-road capability and packages...but none quite like this 2020 Ram Power Wagon. The 2500 Power Wagon goes over the top with off-rad features to truly be a beast in the trenches. This isn't a Ford Raptor high speed gunner, but rather a tank that can rock climb, tackle big obstacles, and offer serious wheel articulation while being comfortable with some luxuries mixed in. Although it's technically a heavy duty truck, the Ram 2500 Power Wagon doesn't quite offer the HD capability that other normal HD trucks offer. Still, it's a beast.

*CORRECTION* The Tradesman trim can get the Power Wagon package - you don’t have to get the actual “Power Wagon” trim level to get the off road goodies. First Ram review! I’m still working to get the rest of the brands like Subaru, BMW, Mercedes that I haven’t reviewed yet. Let me know what you want to see 👍

I have both trucks and that's certainly one of the things i like on F150 over Rams, however the feel of maintaining stright seems easier in my 13 Ram over the 14 f150, maybe they improved it now

Will all the attention to detail is funny RAM missed the power tilt telescoping steering wheel. Since I'm at it, the missed out on the seat adjustment capability too. Two things Ford and GM still do much better with. At 6'4, the one thing I'd appreciate would be an upgrade option with added thigh support. Although trucks have the space, only full-size luxury cars and SUV offer that option.

If RAM updated the HD trucks to use the 1500's cab and bed I would consider one, but the current setup that uses the 4th gen cab and the 5th gen interior just doesn't look or feel right.

@aracecar4627 3 жыл бұрын

I keep seeing people say this but idk what the hell yall r talking about, you cannot tell the difference!!! i own a 2020 ram 1500 and ive looked at the 2500 the only dif i see from bighorn to bighorn laramie to laramie is the door pannel lower cubby and the steering wheel buttons. literally everything else looks the same. What differences r you so mad about?

@_chadvvick 3 жыл бұрын

@@aracecar4627 there is a definite difference. The cab on the 4th gen RAM trucks are physically smaller than the 5th gen trucks. They were able to fit the 5th gen interior into the 4th gen cab, but they kind of shoehorned it in there. One example of this is to look at the space between the rear view mirror and the top of the dash. On the 4th gen cab there is less space between the bottom of the mirror and the top of the dash as opposed to the 5th gen. Another example is the rear seat leg room and the flat rear floor in the 5th gen cabs versus the transmission hump in the 4th gen cabs. There is a definite difference between the two. The sunroof on the 2500s are also a single pane sunroof, because they use the 4th gen cab, whereas the 1500s are available with a dual pane sunroof, due to them using the new 5th gen cab. Another lesser gripe is the RAM Box. The 1500 RAM trucks have a RAM Box that flows much better with the body lines of the 5th gen design. The 2500 trucks carry over the more curved RAM Box that doesn’t look as good with the 5th gen exterior. Again, not a huge deal, but worth mentioning. A friend of mine was recently in the market for a new truck and we looked at both the RAM 1500 and the 2500. Sitting in them back-to-back the difference was glaring. It may not be obvious to you, but if you “keep seeing people say this” then there is clearly a difference that many people wish they would change. Also, it’s not something I’m “mad” about, but I’m not going to buy a $70k truck and then have them turn around and update the cab the next year only to have me kicking myself for not waiting for the cab I prefer. Here is a video that helps visualize some of these differences: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rZigqMyT3Nm4qJc.html Hope this helps.

So yeah you do need another truck and you did say no ford so the only one I can recommend is the GMC Sierra 2500 it's the least offroad capable of the 3 HD trucks rams, Ford, GMC, the GMC Sierra AT4 has a locking differential but it activates by itself so you can't activate unless the system sees that one tire is spinning but also you can get the Duramax with the AT4 or a gas engine but the problem is that it's not offroad cable as the ford tremor or the ram. But the only truck that suits you is the ford tremor it's right in the middle it can and can go offroad but not enough to beat the ram but the choice is yours.

@7thkev519 4 жыл бұрын

The 6.4 Hemi on the ram isn't meant to have high output power like the SRT. The 6.4 Hemi that is on the ram was specifically engineered to handle heavy loads and was built to get good fuel economy when towing, better reliability. Another reason why the 6.4 Hemi HD doesn't make more power because it has cooled EGR, heavier pistons, different cam, has the active intake and also has sodium-filled exhaust valves, tougher valve seat materials, aircraft-grade stainless steel exhaust gaskets and fasteners, and oil jets for cooling the pistons. All of that is meant for HEAVY DUTY purposes it has a greater broad torque on low RPMs for towing and accelerating. Here's a link if you need more information about 6.4 HEMI on the ram. www.allpar.com/mopar/V8/truck-hemi.html

All of these factory "off road" vehicles are for people with more money than common sense. Spend 60k on a truck that is terrible off road. OR, buy a base 2500 Cummins for 40k, and put 5k into it, and itll be way better. Same with Rubicons. You can buy a base model for half the cost, put 5k-10k into it and be way better than a Rubicon. And still save money.

@SPHINX144 2 жыл бұрын

Even a tradesman 2500 with cummins starts at 55k. For 69k you can get a fairly well equipped power wagon and doesn't need any modifications to go off road. As far as payload and towing capacity of the cummins... Most people don't need that either to tow a 7000 lbs boat or trailer.
