I have two of them. http://www.ar15.com/media/viewFile.html?i=84162 I prefer the simplicity of the older 3G truck in the background. Much less electronic bullshit and better forward close in field of view due to the front end profile, among other things. The new one rides nice and the 6.4 is an improvement over the 5.7. View Quote Have you had any issues with the new one? I'm looking at a 2016. We test drove one this past weekend and liked it a lot. What is your real world gas mileage like? |

View Quote The bushings in the manual t-case linkage were too soft, they replaced them and added some retainers. That's about it. I get a little over 13 with it. If you're worried about gas mileage you shouldn't buy one. That's going to be a big change going from what I assume is your Jeep in your avatar. They are huge trucks and you won't be able to offroad it in all of the places you may have taken your jeep. Tall and a long wheelbase. Jeep trails were usually made by jeeps. |

I was just curious about the mileage to see how it compares to my JK on 35's. I currently get 13mpg city and 16 highway. We still have our Cherokee Trailhawk that will be my trail vehicle. I'll end up losing access to a couple of trails that no one would run with me anyhow |

If that's you'r Heep in the avatar photo, I'd spend some serious cash into making it into a trail rig over getting a Power Wagon.

It is. I'm quite honestly a bit bored with it. It's complete overkill for the trails that are nearby except for two. Our Trailhawk does just fine on the rest and it's quite satisfying to wheel it while the haters watch in disbelief. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1488/24513257403_40d9d282da_b.jpg View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

It's the only Dodge I would buy.
I may jump from Chevy for my next truck, and I will consider a Power Wagon. |

Cummins is probably a good bit heavier than a Hemi, too. |

Not a power wagon but i absofuckinglutely love my truck If they ever put a ctd in a pw, i will own it. <a href="http://s1152.photobucket.com/user/ducatiman1098s/media/IMG_08021_zpsury2vt51.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p500/ducatiman1098s/IMG_08021_zpsury2vt51.jpg</a> View Quote Not to derail, but what are the specs on your truck? Level or lift? |

Decent truck, but your fuel economy is shit... aren't they supposed to be a bit better?

Update in OP. View Quote Granite like mine? Hard to tell it from black in some light conditions when you take a pic of it. Need to put the hook on the winch cable. Go on Amazon and buy the wireless remote for it too as it's a PITA to hook up the wired control in that little space they have in the bumper to access it. That have the graphics delete done from the factory or did the dealer remove it? Looks like it was ordered that way, like mine. Looks like you get the factory spray in bed liner too. Go to Amazon and order the Dee Zee DZ86917 bed mat or shit will be sliding all over the place back there. It's like 70 some bucks and fits perfectly. |

Thinking of changing things up and moving to a truck platform and was wondering what current owners thought? ETA - Ended up getting this 2016 PW. Seems like a good vehicle so far. Averaged 12mpg driving up hill from NC to VA varying my speed per the break in specifications. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1676/25174135149_6f131a4b64_h.jpg View Quote Are those really the headlights that come with it OEM?? Look like cheap aftermarket ones from the Fast and Furious days. |

I'll consider one when they offer the package with the Cummins.

First factory set i've had since my 06 Mazda 3. |
