Just picked up a used 2022 Power Wagon which came with a lot of accessories. The previous owner spared no expense in getting it ready for off-roading: Carli-King shocks and suspension, 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers on Method rims including the spare, S Pod controller, Light bar, dual ARB compressors, rock sliders, throttle response controller, air bags in the rear, and a bunch more. I'm retiring in August and already have several trips planned. We're starting off easy to get used to the truck and do the Alpine Loop first, then Moab, then South Padre island to hit the beach and do some surf fishing. Wife wants to visit the Upper Peninsula of Michigan again too so we're going to be using the truck a lot!

@rickyoung5303 ай бұрын
That was not too bad... you did not have to even fold in the mirrors and your steps came out undamaged... :) Love the PwrWgn! I do think 35's or 37's might have made it a bit easier.

IMPRESSIVE for such big beasts, i work a guy who has i think a 21-22 but he uses it for towing. Are those stock except for bigger tires?

I have a 2022 , looks just like yours, mine is a level two . I’ve had it 2 years now and finally going to 35’s I had to wait for the stock tires to wear down. I love it ! I had a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon and the Power Wagon is a big improvement, more room, comfortable, 12,000 lb. Warn winch. And POWER !!!
@derekheuring2984Ай бұрын
I just bought a lightly used 2022 Power Wagon that's also a Level Two. Fortunately, the guy who owned it before me had deep pockets and put a Carli King lift, suspension, and shocks on it as well as 5 Method bead lock rims with 37's already on. He also installed lights, sPod controller, onboard dual compressor, airbags in the rear, extending bed rack, and a bunch more. Can't wait for time off work to head off to Colorado nd see how she does.

Im shooting for mpg, payload capacity, towing capacity, off road capacity, cab space, ect. Thank you Im going to use it as a daily driver, a 3/4 ton truck for towing and hauling as well as for off road, i have a family of 5. Would this truck work for all that? Thanks

There’s actually quite a few videos that tell you all that info if you don’t skip through it just the years 2019 -2022 but there’s quite a few 2020 videos and there was a comparison between rebel 1500 and the power wagon . Just look

Also if your looking for it to be a family vehicle its fine if you don’t care about gas 😂 or making your truck the go to vehicle sure ( most people don’t ) . Id definitely have something good gas on the side (wife’s vehicle or a spare burner vehicle…If your city is mainly highway and non-light travels then of course you mpg will go up if you live in a light to light type of city then your milage will be atrocious. But you don’t go into a 2500 thinking about gas either

So I can get a better feeling for each limits.
