    Great looking truck. I'd get one with the 6.6L gasser and WITHOUT the Bison edition. That would put the price point in a reasonable range and get you 90+% capability of this exact truck.

    All of these 3/4 ton off road trucks are awesome. The choice will come down to what your specific needs or wants are. For me, I have to go with the Power Wagon. It’s less capable in some departments for sure, but for me, the front locker is an absolute necessity because I use it for ranch work, and that truck will tow it’s 10,000 lbs anywhere I need to go, ( sometimes with multiple trips)which is up and down steep, muddy, snow covered dirt roads as well as sloppy pastures. Also, as a life time truck owner, it seems to me that the 6.4 Hemi mated with the ZF8 transmission is an incredibly reliable combination. Having said that, you really can’t go wrong with any of these trucks. They are all incredible.

    Right now, in Ontario, Canada, diesel fuel is 20% more expensive than regular fuel to purchase, then add DEF fluid and the extra cost of the diesel engine. I don't think it makes sense to buy the diesel version way too expensive to run.

    • @donhappel9566
      @donhappel9566 Рік тому +2

      It's always a math game. Does it get 20% better economy than the gas truck? How many miles per year are you driving? Are you financing that extra cost? Lots to consider. I went diesel for my last truck and even with higher fuel prices I'm still ahead but not by a lot. As for DEF cost, that's negligible unless you're towing constantly. Of course you may just prefer or need the extra power if you're doing that anyway.

      Agreed, unless you tow in mountains often. Double the torque and lower rpm torque, more HP and a diesel engine brake.

Difference between 305/70R18 and 275/70R18. 35s with a higher load index... might be the next tire size I try. Only worried about the factory rims not being wide enough for a 305, but idk.

      There is no flex because they are using an IFS and heavy duty springs in the rear to maintain payload capacity. The Power Wagon doesn't have the same payload as a regular 2500 because it has different radius arms and springs, but it can flex like no tomorrow because of the 5-link rear, solid axle and disconnecting front swaybar.

    Might be interested but Chevy, like all other brands, won't offer these in an extended cab version; only crewcab. In HD pickups, the extended cab standard bed is shorter wheelbase and overall than the crewcab with standard bed. For overlanding with light slide-in or flatbed pickups campers, one wants a short of wheelbase as possible. That these are only available in crew cab takes them off of a lot of overlanders list as an option. so we'll keep buying extended cabs or standard cabs and building up the suspension, wheels, tires, skid plates, front and rear bumpers, winches, etc. on our own.

    I can see now why Ram never put a diesel in the PW. price and weight. This is a niche vehicle for select buyers and most will probably not buy it for regular offroading (technical trails and rock crawling). Its just too big and really more capable than it should be. Though nice to have if you need all this extra stuff, its more of a gotta have the best trophy truck or better suited for an overland camper. The colorado zr2 is a much better trail rig. As far as hd's go i kind of think the power wagon is still best off road due to weight, winch, full lockers and disconnecting sway bar. The one thing chevy should have for this price is retractable steps bc thats gotta be at least a 2ft step up.

    There are fleet markets in in the oil and gas industry and perhaps mining and power generation that will buy these at huge fleet discounts. The segment of the population that simply has to have a truck like that to tower over everybody else in the Walmart parking lot will pay through the nose. Anything new we have not seen before?

    Isn’t there something counterintuitive about a “heavy duty” off-road truck? What mountain trails do you know that wouldn’t end up with this truck scratched to hell? I do 14er peaks in CO every summer and most trails that thing would have no chance of fitting on a trail

    • @whocaresjustdoit
      @whocaresjustdoit Рік тому +1

      Inflation and COVID supply chain issues did help with the price increase. Trucks from 20 years ago didn’t have the same tech, capabilities, safety, and comfort of 2023 trucks. Don’t get me wrong I think this thing is still super expensive but generally price increases are inevitable as a product is more refined.
