2017 Power Wagon

Those are sweet but I can't see the 6.4 hemi being very good on mileage. So much want!

My boss has a 2500 with the 6.4 as his cop truck and gets 15mpg easy and he is not kind to it running code and all.

That's better than I expected. My 2004 with the 5.7 was 14 MPG with mostly highway and 35"s.

My 08 ram with the 5.7 got about ten, 12 on the highway and 8 towing anything. I hated it.

Mine towed about 9 mpg. The new technology and trans has helped a lot.

I was down in Moab last week for the Power Wagons in Moab event, and I had a great time with this truck. The biggest surprise was how well the Hill Descent system worked going down Hell's Gate.

Seven Mile Rim:

Silver Crack:

The only ding I got was on Hell's Revenge exit, dropped the bumper on a rock:

On the ride back, the dash claimed 14.7 mpg, but the gas station said 12.5 mpg. Maybe it'll get better, but yeah, you don't buy a Power Wagon for fuel economy

Is there any video of you doing hells gate? I love that you're not afraid to wheel a brand new truck good for you using it.

I don't unfortunately.

We had 7 Power Wagons and a 2nd Gen 2500 Stick run Hell's Gate:

It's hard to capture just how steep it feels, but this is the entrance:

Put the sliders to work:

Decent Control was awesome, set to 0.6mph:

Plenty of power up the exit:

I took my 2010 Tundra CrewMax through Hell's Revenge (didn't do Hell's Gate). I put those White Knuckle sliders to work!!!

Apparently some video was shot:

Cool video. How'd things go for the truck in the escalator?(3:30 ish) Can't imagine putting a truck (new or old) through that.

Escalator got his fender:

That made my butt pucker seeing such a nice truck get bent up. Did he replace the stock axles? I'm not an expert on PWs but I didn't think they had hubs or used H2 wheels

Now this could sway me to a Ram if it cam in a bigger cab

Stock axles, he's running the Dynatrac free spin kit.

I love that truck, but that AEV package is 38K + the cost of the truck
