    Both are nice. The Ram is more appealing to me in my opinion, but they both are aesthetically pleasing to look at. However, on my personal opinion, and knowing heavy duty trucks, the solid axle of the Ram can handle more abuse and weight then that of the IFS of the GMC. IFS is great for on road use, but bad for off road use. You can not get the proper flex for off-roading then say the solid axle trucks like Ram and Ford.

    The AT4 is for dirt roads and the snow belt, the PowerWagon is for offroad adventure. They are two completely different vehicles to serve 2 completely different purposes. It would be like comparing a 1500 AT4 to a raptor. This truck is meant for towing on rough roads, not making its own roads. PowerWagon is a fun toy if you have lots of money, but the AT4 is wildly the more practical truck. All they need to do is give it an electronic locker in the rear and maybe an LSD in the front like the tremor. The tremor as of now is the truck to beat because that will get close enough to the PW while maintaining its hauling capability

    I currently have a 2018 gmc duramax 3500 SRW. Before this truck i had the 2017 powerwagon. I RV full time, BLM land, so i'm offroad A LOT. I came the conclusion that the PW is better for pure offroad adventures. The GMC is a more well rounded work truck with off road capabilities. Now, i used to explore in the PW, taking trails like this. But I dont bother to do that in the GMC; the ride is just too rough, it weighs to much. But while pulling the camper the GMC can get me as far back as the powerwagon, considering i'm towing a TT. Now i mountain bike the trails or ride my dual sport, instead of explore in my truck.

      Yes, for daily driving and variable driving conditions, the g80 works fine. Works fine in my Silverado and never had an issue with traction.
      My issue with it off road is that you’ve already lost traction before it kicks in, especially at crawling speeds. So a natural reaction for a driver is to give it some more throttle and then you finally grab traction. That’s a dangerous recipe on tight trails with rocks and trees on either side of you.
      I think for the AT4 or Trail Boss trims, they should have included an e-locker just like the ZR2.

Last time I was at Moab in my SXS there was a group of probably 10 Power Wagons there and I was stunned at their abilities in the rocks, and I'm not talking about the little piddly stuff the TFL guys were doing, I'm talking about real rock crawling with 6-7' shelfs and stuff I was going around on my RZR!

    Great video, but come on guys! You drove all the way to Moab, with quite possibly some of the best rock crawling in the world, just to splash through a couple mud puddles and over a little washout to declare an off-road king! I've seen groups of Power Wagons at work in the real Moab and let me tell you, they are impressive to say the least!! The GMC is a really nice truck, but put it on some of the real Moab trails and the only way its getting over the first rock is if the Power Wagon drags it over with its factory installed Warn Winch!

      Ya I really don’t understand this class of truck. Too big for 90% of trails. They are claimed off road packages, but the approach, break over, and departure are abysmal compared to an actual off road vehicle. I guess it’s just a marketing thing. Lots are sold, none go off road.

    GM completely missed the mark by not putting an e-locker on the AT4 trim or Trail Boss. You’ve already lost traction by the time the G80 kicks in and it’s simply not as controlled as an e-locker.

But that AT4 GMC HD, is very nice for all around heavy full sized pickup trucks! As it did take you through everything the PW did, without pushing any buttons, sure it rides harder, but what if you had say a nice high quality Truck Camper slid in the bed? Like a beautiful Northern Lite at around a thousandth lbs or so less than the trucks over all load capacity? That, with auxiliary fuel tank would make a great overland Camping Rig. With plenty of hauling capacity left over for a full load of liquids, a friend or significant other and maybe a child or two?

    Nice comparo of the trade-offs between these two.

The GMC needs at least a rear e-locker on the AT4 (like Chevy needs on the Trail Boss). The Power Wagon needs a diesel option.

    Urghhhhh...Again NO manufacturer has a HD truck that is a off road beast like the Power Wagon. NO manufacture makes a HD truck that is designed for extreme off off-roading other than Ram. Tremor, AT4 are just appearances packages. Ram makes a HD with a diesel and a off road package so if you want to tow, buy that. You CANNOT get off-road capabilities AND towing numbers from the same vehicle. Everyone that bitches about the Power Wagon towing and payload capabilities is completely missing the point. No one ever bitches about the towing and payload capabilities of a Jeep Rubicon BECAUSE it’s a off road vehicle. Plus you don’t want a diesel if your doing REAL off-roading. I would love to see a competitor to the Power Wagon but no manufacturers make one.
