I just finally picked up my 2022 PW after waiting 8 months for my order to be delivered on 2-17-22. Mine is Olive Green and I’m happier than I ever thought I’d be.. Great Truck!!!👍
Yes, sir, Mine is the 2021 Magneto Orange 75th. Living it, loving it.
I road 37" BFG KM3's on my 2022 power wagon, On stock rims! No rubbing not even at full term the BF g's Fit a little small at 36.5 true. Ran them All this season, Put them through their paces through to trails in the rocky mountains and logging roads.I just put on 35" Mickey Thompson Baja boss AT's, These are a true 35", for 2 long road trips then winter Up in the Canadian rockies.
Putting the 35's on After having the 37's Look to me almost like the 33 dura tracks😅😅😅 As a 30 year Jeep guy it makes me sad🤣🤣👍 We'll be posting up more videos of this season's shenanigans just got back from a good trip with with the 37" bfg's towing an off road trailer high up in the mountains They're Roger's pass BC.
Follow up to my last comment. I have the 37 which are excellent for serious off roading . BUT for towing, the stock tire 33s especially long distance are much better! Glad i kept em.
Yessir, Kept factory wheels for non-offroading
I waited my whole adult life for this video.
I bought the Power Wagon I posted about 1 month ago and it came with 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers. I like the stance and the extra clearance they provide. You banged your diff when you had the 33's.
For a truck this big, 37s look "OEM" haha... nice video!
Great video! 37’s look and perform the best. I think for me, 35’s will be a nice sweet spot.
If I didn't off road almost every weekend I would have stayed with the 35 inch tires. Its a fairly easy decision with 35s matching the truck perfectly while having the choice to do 37s for a lot of off-roading is awesome. Hopefully other manufacturers make the wheel wells slightly larger to accommodate larger tires without cutting.
That's what I landed on myself. 33's were a tad small for me. Even with a leveling kit and some cutting 37's still rubbed. After trying some 35" BFG KO2's, I loved the way it looked and handled (no road noise). I only do moderate off roading so I went with a 2" spacer to give it a nice stance. Honestly I'm happy with it.
35 inch tire fits with stock rims too.
@@4x4OffRoadChannel i agree. 35s look good and is a great all around balance, I think. If you are driving on raod and towing, its nice not to have too much sidewall. Less roll. Great video!
@@TheMeanmarine13 2in spacer in the front im assuming? (I have no clue about these trucks, trying to learn before I buy)
Dude this is the best tire size comparison for the Power Wagon on YT by far. I went with 35's to be safe on mine, would probably have went with 37's if I had found your video first. Thank you !
The dealership in my city has a 2024 Tradesman with the Power Wagon package for $59k. Thinking about getting it.
Good video
I have a 3500 with far from stock suspension work, glad to know 37s will be perfect for play time. My 35s just eat up the highway with 23mpg tho so theyre for towing and long trips on road
how's the ol' gas milage on 37's, or is that an utterly stupid question.....
35's Look the best.
37s definitely fit this trucks very well. With towing a lot and the truck not being my "toy" the 35s will suffice and bridge that gap of work and play nicely.
Would like to see this PW with a Carli or Thuren leveling kit suspension and all three tire sizes performing the same task, well done.
Currently looking into the different suspension systems.
It would perform exactly the same.
@@rodcain4947 Do you own a PW that had both set-ups??? I highly doubt it so unless you have hard evidence you're just regurgitating a thought, i'm sure they may be similar but i'm looking for Facts cause I need to make a choice between the two.
Yes I do and I've owned several jeep rock crawlers.06 lj with 4.5 Rubicon express short arm...05 with 5.5 Rubicon express long arm built by ME.I absolutely know what im talking about.the suspension wasn't even in play in the video...I have 35s on my wagon and they fit fine without hitting my bumps tops while articulating...37s will require trimming and will limit my articulation.i suggest you learn what a suspension actually does before calling someone out.and definitely before considering buying one.
@@rodcain4947 I'm not talking about Jeeps Bro. You're veering off the subject, i don't care about you flexing your knowledge about Jeeps that's not my point! PW is the point i've watched and done tons of research for the PW because that's what i'm in the market for. It was a basic question so i can make an educated decision.
What I don't understand is how Ram can claim that a stock Power Wagon with 33" tires says it has over 14" of ground clearance when it's obvious that ground clearance is from the lowest part of the vehicle that's metal to the ground, not the frame!
I’m running 35s right now , thinking of going with the 37s Forsure 🤙🏽
Nice video man keep it up
For me, going bigger than 35's is a tipping point where I refuse to do it without doing lower gears to restore the overall ratio. Problem is that spends another $5000.
I run 37’s on a 3.73 and my newest 4.10 Hemi truck and it makes no noticeable difference going from 33’s to 37’s. Maybe a 1mpg loss 🤷♂️. Bothe run and accelerate awesome.
@@hahaadventures4838 I agree. I am running 38s with the 4.10 axles and the 8 speed transmission on my 2024 PW. I can’t tell any difference in acceleration from 33s to 37s and then to 38s. The first gear in the 8 speed transmission for 2019+ models is very low and moves the truck well.
Very Informative
The comment i made was solid....period...read it again.the carli suspension would not have made the truck perform better on that video.....33 35 or 37 would not have made the truck perform anybetter on that video.there was absolutely no issue with articulating or clearance on the video.the size of tire would not have changed the performance either.im not trying to make you look stupid.there really was no change on the video.my comment wasn't made sarcastically.i brought up my jeeps to let you know that I do know what im talking about.i build my own shit.ive been rock crawling for over 20 years with many different rigs.and yes I do own a power wagon and have wheeled it with different size tires.the stock suspension will out perform your abilities.
Hey man, I appreciate the info as I'm getting ready to order some tires to replace my 315/70/17 stt pros on stock wheels. I was considering going to 37's but haven't found anything that my PW won't do on stock suspension with 35's. The trucks abilities seem to outperform the level of trails I run and my current level of experience. I think I'll save the 700 bucks and put it into the tank for another trip.
Larger tires roll over stuff easier making the ride smoother. 33s had no trouble but will always be rougher than 35s or 37s. I ride trails in the Rockies and always get the largest tire I can fit increases ground clearance less rocks banging the bottom of my truck and also making a smoother ride.
Pull your mirrors in! That'll help! LOL! Great video, by-the-way. I'll be looking at a low mile 2022 PW this weekend, hopefully they're willing to deal.
I can't find a solid answer. I am thinking about putting 37s on my 2012 ram 2500 5.7. Do I need to do gears or can I stay stock? I currently have 35s. Truck does absolutely fine with them but truck came with 20inch rims. I'd prefer more rubber and the cheaper option is just go to 37s rather than buying a whole new set of rims. Thanks for amy advice
The only reason I'm going to 37"s or even maybe 40" is because the difon these trucks is only about 10 inches off the ground with 33"s.....
Hit a small field drainage ditch on 37s
Practically speaking, the biggest reason to want larger tires is so that you're able to air them down without dragging your diffs or underbelly while driving off road.
33's are ridiculous on this truck as it is supposed to be set up for serious off roading what with the rock crawling low range gearing and winch and all.
It should have come with a minimum of 35" tires stock, with the ability to run 37's without rubbing. As it is from the showroom, it's clear that a committee was responsible for the final product. It's not great at anything other than highway driving and gravel roads with those undersized 33's.
The whole vehicle is way too big for any serious off roading anyway unless you modify it to run 40's and even then it's just too long.
Hey there,
Just wondering if you were able to fit the 35 in the spare location. I know 37 is an obvious no go. Also, great video. Thanks
You can fit a 35 of its deflated
I just fit a 35" Mickey Thompson Baja boss 35 x12.5 underneath with no modifications To heat shield, perfect Fit was tight on hitch and it was filled to 50PSI
He stock seem way more in control the thing was bouncing all over. 37 's seem balloonlike 35 maybe. But watch again the cab is twice as smooth in the 33's
Nice! Do you have to change out the gears in the rear end when you put larger tires on there? I have a 2022 Power Wagon I’d like to put 35’s or 37’s on but I heard the gears need to be changed out as well. Thanks.
Kept the 4.10 gears the truck came factory with. Added the AEV ProCal Snap to calibrate the speedometer and tire pressure monitor. 35's are a great upgrade on the factory wheels with no rubbing. 37's need a different offset wheel with very slight rubbing using a smaller 37 like the BFGoodrich KO2 coming in at 36.5.
If you change gears you have to do front and rear together, very expensive but worth it
33's are too small... 37's are too big for everyday practical use.. In the end, over and over, I've always gone back to 35s. Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
Yea, definately need to size down to 29's.
Something wrong that Ram puts mousey little pizza cutter 33s on such a big off road minded truck. 35s at a min. Thanks for the video compare.
Quick question not sure if anyone still checks this. I'm having a dilemma with my daily drive/colorado weekend warrior 2016 ram rebel. I ended up going to a 28575R17 Measures out about 33.8. From what I've been reading 35's/315 is about 34.6. I was debating on moving up to that next most of the terrain here looks like what you're on in this video. Someone else suggested 2857518. Measures out depending on tire between 34.8 to 35.1. Do you think that would be a better medium more height/clearance but roughly the same sidewall height as a 315 with less width for daily driving/lack of fuel economy stuff? Not many choices in that size though. The only issue I'm seeing with the 315's is that with the rebel it sits super close to the upper control arm. I'm not sure if that would interfere when airing down. Sorry for the newb questions.
Where was this taken? I want to visit!
Where is this trail I'm near Fullerton. 👀
Most videos are in PA at Rausch Creek Off Road Park and Famous Reading Outdoors.
Did you use a spacer to clear those 37s from rubbing inside ?
No spacers at all. Power Wagon still has the stock suspension with AEV wheels with a different offset. 37x12.5r17 BF Goodrich KO2 also run slightly smaller then other manufacturers.
Good video. There was nothing the 37’s or 35’s did that the 33’s couldn’t do. Ram has spent millions engineering this truck and have put 33’s on it for a reason. The 33’s give the truck a great balance between rock climbing, the ability to traverse steep, rocky, muddy, snow covered trails with ease, and also maintain the ability to tow a decent load. They also give it good manners on the road. I doubt anybody putting 35” or 37” tires on this truck are automotive engineers. When I see someone say “ I’ve been running 35’s with no issue” the caveat here is- no issues yet. I can tell you from experience, it gets really expensive when you have to start replacing ball joints, and drive train components like transfer cases and differentials. To each his own, just don’t walk around thinking that Ram engineers don’t know what their doing.
Says the guy who secretly wished he had 37's.....😂
33s look small. 35s I think look great w stock lift. Just my opinion.
They make it knowing people are going to put bigger tires on. It's not a big deal.
I agree with you to a point, but I also think fuel mileage, cost of materials/maintenance, drivability and safety considerations play a much larger role here. A 35” tire is not going to stress the driveline components on these trucks in any meaningful way. Hell, Jeep is offering 35’s on wranglers….I’ll be damned if the 2500 isn’t exponentially tougher than that! Even lighter and less robust trucks like the Raptor and TRX or other HD’s like the Superduty Tremors are all running 35’s.
I imagine that if driven as designed and not abused, a 37” tire will not hurt that 8HP75, the AAMs or that case. These trucks are tanks.
If the ram engineers used ball joints and other parts that will get beat to death early by 35’s, I wouldn’t want the truck….
Nice video
I got 37" Yokohama geolander xmt mudder's on my 1500
Did you have to alter anything to get the 35’s or 37’s to fit ?
35/12.5 fit easily on the stock rims.. 37s require a different offset on the wheel. The wheels on this Power Wagon are AEV with. +27 offset. Slight rubbing with the 37/12.5 KO2 which run smaller then most 37s. But not enough rubbing to require any trimming or cutting.
Does adding larger sized tires affect your warranty at all since they go outside the parameters? 🤔🤷♂️
@@abrahamwalton8244 OC... every non stock piece is a bye bye warranty.
@@abrahamwalton8244look up the magnuson-moss warranty act they have to prove that it was what caused the issue. Not sure where your from but in the USA they normally will honor the warranty even with bigger tires.
Truck is such a beast, 33s look to small
타이어 사이즈만 달리해놔도 오프로드 주행성능이 달라지는게 보이네
이번 램 파워왜건에 33인치는 아무리 오프로드용 타이어라도 차체 크기에 비하면 좀 작았어...
예전 모델에는 기본부터가 35인치였는데 말이야
What tire for ram rebel 2022 ?
35s best
Any gear change needed for 37's?
No need to change gears. The 8 speed transmission works well with the 37's
It's best to regear. 4.88s or high work well with 37s.
@@hahaadventures4838 2 years later lol. More gear is always better imo.
did not look like you were aired down very much.
It would be nice to know the tire pressure and exact type / weight rating. I agree, they looked aired down a little, but not as much as I'd probably go down.
Clearly a new power wagon owner. You can see at the 30 second mark when he folds in the mirrors and makes it up no problem. Everyone knows you tuck your ears first....
37seems to def do the job
Definitely rolls over little obstacles better than the 33’s & 35’s.
37s are definitely the best option for off-roading. Switched from 35s for the main reason of getting the differentials as high as possible. Its awesome that they fit without any cutting.
@@4x4OffRoadChannel how much cutting would be involved with the 37” ko2”s on the stock rims do you think?
@@CoryTheCanadian everyone I know with power wagons in the southern desert area that run 37-in tires bought different rims with a different offset. Most by the AEV ones. Most of the 35-in tires that I see down here use stock rims. Your question is a great question and if you find out let me know.
love this truck
37’s all the way! You can run lower pressures and they ride so much better!
Put your mirror’s out ….
