2019 Power Wagon owner. 37x12.5 Cooper STT PROs on AEV 17s. Stock suspension, minor trimming, rock sliders and belly armor. Where I live there is a 400ish foot steep and rutted out climb. I’ve been told it’s a 40-45 degree climb. I have seen Tacos, 4Runners, Rubys on 35s and most recently a Branco badlands struggle with it. I’ve probably done it 20+ times in my Power Wagon with open diffs. It is not a truck for mild to moderate off roading, it is a purpose built 4x4 designed to take on whatever a jeep can if you aren’t worried about pin stripes.

2022 Power Wagon, stock, rides WAY smoother than my old ‘17 2500SLT. The SLT was also stock except for a mild lift and 35s. And since I’ve put on some AEV Katlas and Nitto 37s, this Power Wagon rides like a caddy!

I have a 2020 🫒 PW and have been wheeling it/daily driving it with great pleasure.

They picked the right guy to promote the truck because I'm gonna be saying power waygon all day

That is definitely an amazing PW! I can say I've never had a problem with my lockers not engaging on my 2016 thougb! Well done gents as always!!

Love my Power Wagon, I use it primarily as a hunting rig. It is perfect for what I do, smaller trucks don’t have the carrying capacity I need. I try to steering clear of mud if I can but sometimes you got to go where you got to go. Always plan ahead for extraction, air down etc.

The exhaust pipes and side steps don't really make sense for an offroad truck

So here’s my question, did you guys attempt to put a wrangler or gladiator through that same mud hole? If so, how did they do? I likes me some power wagon.

I was up at High Rock Pointe that week and I didn’t even know about the event. I had to split Friday morning but it was cool to see all the nice rigs pass me on the way back down to Detroit. My Tacoma did great up in the trails up there, so beautiful it’s crazy.

My 1972 W200 Power wagon dominates off road. 5.9 magnum, lockers and 285-75-16 KO2's and off road traction bars. It comes in right about 10,000 lbs with the flatbed. It does ride like a lumber wagon though due to the Timbren's front and rear which can come off if needed for articulation.

Love it! Really glad y’all got out.

The Power Wagon is a beast, our new favorite vehicle, ours is sitting on King 3.0s now

Let’s go Michigan!!!

Power Wagons are Monsters! 76 years of history, and still going...Very capable..I'd be running 17s with 37s on it though to take advantage of a full airdown and better ride than 20s.... I've got a 22 model ordered, and other goodies waiting for it..

-Off road rig -20s Pick one haha

Just had my F250 Powerstroke out in Moab. I enjoy the challenge of wheeling a fullsize. Although the rear tire hanging out over the edge on Hurah Pass in some tight turns definitely got the heart pumping. And with the weight of the diesel, it sometimes helps with traction and with keeping the front end planted. I've had it in the dunes and on the beach and actually did real well, even when recovering a broken Jeep and helping a Humvee haul out a broken Ram in the dunes at Silver Lake. I do try to avoid mud as much as possible though haha.

My first car was a 42 Ford GPW Jeep because I always wanted one, then my second car was a 41 1/2 ton closed cab weapons carrier with a pto winch because I loved those beasts too. The Jeep could go anywhere, the Power Wagon was less nimble but could drive over or through anything, and the winch could take care of it when it got sunk as long as there was something big to winch to. Once I buried it down to the axles in the back yard so I figured no big deal, it's running, plenty of trees around I have a Braden pto winch... I grabbed a smallish pine tree very close by and started pulling, truck started to move and suddenly the whole tree, rootball and all popped up out of the ground and almost fell on the truck. I found a BIG tree farther away and yanked the truck out, lesson learned. Wish I had both rigs now.

I’m getting a power wagon soon and hopefully adding off-road upgrades in the future

I have a 2021 power wagon thanks for the tips.

The power wagon doesn't need any of those upgrades aside from the 35 inch tires to do anything you want. Throw on some rock sliders for protection and you are good

I got stock for 8 hours last week in my ram power wagon and many cars also now im cleaning all mud underneath it till now

great honest review thanks

I live in the UP and have a 68 w300 power wagon! Let’s do a new vs old video🤣

Stay out of lake mud areas and such, soft ground fields soaking wet, and the PW is good to go. It's awesome out here in the Mountain West/Desert West areas!

Honestly overlanding vehicles in general are not mudding vehicles. It doesn't matter the size. Its the experienced and common sensed that can navigate these obstacles or just know ahead of time that their rig isn't capable for that. You should do a video on the different types of overlanders haha. For most overlanders its not about how much they can test their rig and break stuff.

given that I offroad and mud with a lifted Excursion on 38s I will say that while some places are too tight for a large rig they have their advantages in sheer mass, clearance, and power.

The Power Wagon didn't get stuck. It simply refused to go to gay beach.

This video is the first mud that a PowerWagon can't handle. Guess we'll need tracks instead of tires! Fortunately we live in the desert!

Power Waygon? 😂👍

Just wish they had a Cummins option for the Power Waygon

My dad has a Power Wagon that absolutely dominates the mountains here in British Columbia!... That solid front axle has that thing articulating like a sick Giraffe's neck!... It is pretty big, but can handle anything that isn't tight trails

There is usually a jeep near by to yank you off your high center. OIIIIIIIO 😁

Wait... That LITTLE MOUND is your "STEEP ROCK FACE"..? Take your rig to Moab if you want "steep". 😉👍

Shout out to Full Size Invasion 🙌

The Stamp Sands in Gay, Michigan have swallowed quite a few vehicles like that thinking they can cross through those water holes. I went to MTU up there and the Gay Sands used to be a monthly trip with our ORVs. You are lucky you didn't get stuck any worse. Love the truck though. Absolute beast but the trails in the UP are not like the ones out west to make a good comparison.

A hole like that sucks in anything with less than 40” TSLs. Lived in NV and CA for years, people used to get stuck like that in the dry lake beds a week after a storm all the time. Looks dry, you break through and you’re in gumbo. Didn’t matter what the vehicle was unless it had 40+ serious mud tires. And then you needed serious grunt to spin them or they turn into donuts.

Love mine, mud and sand are the enemy. Most trails are ok. Front camera is a must, hard to see over the hood going over big inclines.

5 years to pay off the rubi.... then... o yes... she will be mine🤣 love this truck.

What tire pressure was nick using ? I go around in my 2500HD sierra 24psi in the front and 18psi in the back and havnt sunk down that bad.. 🤞🙏...yet... lol

Love the video, wish this fella could pronounce the word Wagon though. This "Power Waygen" is a really nice build.

Agreed

I’m planning to just to use my to pull my SxS and enjoy some easy trails with it

Very honest review, I’m envious of my a couple of my buddies that have f150 and Ram,s but recovery is also an issue if you trying to pull them out with smaller rigs. But man, I do love the space and sheer presence on and off road

I love my wagon

Pewer Wegan

Maybe run 17s you know some beadlocks not some pretty boy rims where you can air down…. I run 40s on 17s on my 2020 power wagon. Also if that’s a kinetic strap that has no flex. For tires for overlanding it’s just two brands general grabber x3 or BF MT only two that I would put my name behind. I get everyone has their preferences but it does come down to the driver but yeah that mud didn’t look like any rig would get too far. I’ve found out over my rock crawler 2018 rubicon build I struggle in mud over my power wagon. I find weight helps in mud but not sand now when it comes to getting stuck no matter what recovering a light vehicle over a big rig is always easier. Cool video though glad to see other PW owners pushing their trucks👍🏽

I have 21 ram 2500 and u put mickey thompson at on it. This thing sucks off road. I get really bad wheel hop up front. Any fixes for this? Is this normal? I've never had a truck that wheel hops that bad. I tried to play in the snow and with the Trac control that won't turn off completely and the wheel hop. It's absolutely ridiculous 🙄

More like 8800 pounds lol Also need a front end camera for any wheeling in these rams

I loved my power wagon as you seen on my channel but I too came to the realization that it is just far too big for what I wanted

I have no intention on Mudding…🤷🏻‍♂️👎🏼 I’ve seen plenty of people in PW’s tearing up rough terrain..🤷🏻‍♂️

Steep rock face? My 2004 F-150 FX4 can do more than that and I'm super cautious when I'm offloading thru the Sonoran Desert in SW Arizona.

This dude's accent is killing me 🤣

That looked like Clay tbh, any vehicles no matter what size could get stuck real good in there unless it's light with huge tires

🤩👍❗

Waygon don't care!

Great video. However it is pronounced "Power Wagon" not "Power Wigen". I know it tough you you "Wiskconsin" folks to pronounce things properly. Just having fun! The truck looks fantastic! I always though a rear mounted winch would be just as useful as a front mounted one.

Those “rock sliders” are rock grabbers. Those wheels are also WAY too big FFS. And that dual exhaust hanging off, just waiting to catch a rock. Tell me you don’t know what you’re doing without telling me you don’t know what you’re doing.

What's a power waa’gon that guy keeps saying

Don’t think you were going to get a wrecker out there.

Wegen? Is this a Canadian channel?

What you guys should be talking about is half verses heavy duty trucks.... half tons wheel great, hd does not. People make their jeeps bigger than fullsize all the time... what the big issue is weight.

Are those 20's? lol

Waygin lol

Reality check! Buy a nice 3500, get a toy-hauler and off-road a quad or side by side!! Or…..destroy that oversized 80k rig doing half what you could in an old jeep!!

So the original 4x4 truck since 1946 p.w. is no good off road? thats hillarious. You do know most jeeps are limited slip? And yes the power wagon /Dodge Trucks command cars of all shapes and sizes 1/2 ton 4x4, 3/4 ton 4x4 ,1.5 ton 4x4 and 6x6 hauled people, guns, food, fuel, ammo and towed anti air craft guns off road starting before jeep 1934 1.5 ton Dodge K39X4 I cant think of any other vehicle that tows and hauls so well off road. I use my 15 prospector p.w. to tow my 25 'toy hauler with three 450 yamaha quads in soft dune sand. Oceano / imperial dunes. Watch Jeep vs TRX vs Raptor vs Power wagon vs Tremor vs Toyota etc... see for yourself. 4x4 off road channel. P.S. quads are better off road than jeep or p.w. you just cant take much stuff with you. lol

Those tailpipes 😐💩

yeah, pw dont care

Product salesman. I own a stock 2500. And a stock PW rides way better.

Wouldn't be all that confident in the wilderness in a Fiat/Chrysler/Ram.
