It's crazy how we live in this world and yall are worried about what people do with their stuff worry about you and what makes you happy sounds like someone's PEANUT BUTTER AND JEALLLLLOOOUUUSS
Great real world review. A truck that works full time in what must be the toughest conditions. 70k miles and no drive train complaints. Brilliant. Thanks for doing this followup.
Always great to see Power Wagon footage on TFL. This truck is really one of the best trucks ever made. I think the SRT-10 and the 2005 PW inspired the Raptor and other off-road trucks to follow. Hats off to Ram.
Interesting that she is running Falken Wildpeaks. She's a pro and could probably run any brand tire. I've been running Falkens for about 25K miles and they have been a great all around tire. Excellent in rain and snow and crawled over everything I ran into out in Colorado, and relatively quiet on pavement for an all terrain tire.
I live in irrigation country and see the Falcons often on farm work trucks. In irrigation country they see a fair amount of mud. Sand/clay type mix generally. I used to ranch in the Foothills to the Rockies and ran BFG KO2s. The KO2s are just ok in the mud, but great elsewhere. Haven’t tried Falcons yet. I’m actually looking to trade my 2022 F150 Tremor for a very low use Power Wagon of a friend’s. He doesn’t want to deal with the fuel economy and size. I would be hauling an 1100 lb truck camper without an overhang on the front. It’s basically a 1 person unit (Rayzr FK). I can haul it with the tailgate up in the Power Wagon. A definite plus for me. The camper has 240 ah (LiFePO4 battery) with 350 watts solar and then there’s a 3000 watt inverter. I wouldn’t use all 3000 watts, but nice to have in case of an emergency & I’m helping out. I disabled the converter/inverter by putting it on its own breaker. The camper can then plug into the aftermarket inverter and the solar provides 110 and 12 volt power all the time in the camper. It doesn’t have air conditioning, but the microwave and TV are nice. (I put a fair sized TV that swings down from the roof 😂). It’s not camping unless you have the TV!! 😂 the truck would still be used the same as the Tremor, just is a better size. I will pocket some cash from the deal as well!!
@@Cjdergrosse - the Falkens are really not that much cheaper than others,,, at least here in Canada. Those tires are around $380 CAD and up here. The 35s would likely be closer to $450 a piece.
@@shitloveaduck I paid $900 american for a set of (4) 285/70-17's 2 years ago. I know the prices have gone up since then. They are wearing well with 25K on them.
FWIW to PW owners out there, don't waste your money on that AEV pre-filter, it is sized for a MUCH larger constant RPM diesel application (think CAT size on a road grader), not our small 6.4's running low RPM in dusty off-road situations. Also, the best mod you can get is from Abel Components, allowing you to disconnect the front swaybar and lock front and rear at any speed, 2hi, 4hi or 4lo. No waiting for the nanny's to let you use the goodies when and where YOU want!
So...In your brain, having a pre-filter that is designed for heavy equipment that continuously works in extremely dusty conditions, and flows enough CFM for a much larger engine, on your truck that you use in dusty conditions is a bad thing? Weird. To me, having an industrial grade pre filter that will likely never need to be replaced on my daily driver seems like a great idea.
@@bdd1469 - No, in principle it is good, if it was properly sized. The one AEV sells (which is from Sy-Klone) is too large for the 6.4 to operate as designed. It operates on centrifugal force generated by an internal fan spun by the volume of air going through it. I spent a fair amount of time with a nice engineer at Sy-Klone and attempts to get AEV to rectify my purchase. AEV wouldn't budge, so need less to say, I'll never purchase from them again. The whole snokle kit is pretty poor fitting and requires partial disassembly to replace the windshield additionally.
Other than being a little bummed we didn't get to hear it run because I just bought a 2021 with 8000 miles on it and I wanna make it a little bit louder, this was an awesome review and talk about a truck that walks the walk!!! ( It's videos like this that make me feel so much more confident in my investment....🤗)
Bro the Cummins Rebel is a 2500 Ram with a rear locker. Not even a n the same ballpark. Extra $10k for the diesel it would take a long time to make your money back. I mean no offense btw. Cheers brother.
As cool as having the 6.7 Cummins in an off-road focused truck sounds (I love diesels and I love inline 6's) it would be terrible for the work she does. Anyone who wants one...hasn't driven one in 6+ trails off-road. The front end is akin to an anchor, pulling you the direction IT wants to go. Off camber and wanna go straight? Nope, you're sliding left. Add in the de-rate from potential DPF issues caused by slow crawling and you're in trouble. That's not even getting into the lack of articulation and front locker. If you need serious off-road and recovery capability (e.g., recovering Jeeps in Moab and Sedona) with the ability to tow up to 10k the Rebel HD Cummins is a poor choice. If you need to tow heavily for long distances and drive on some dirt roads it's an excellent choice.
@@KeithStarr I see what you and Dan Cooper are saying, I was thinking she works her vehicles hard, puts a good amount of mileage on it, towing and recovering vehicles. The extra weight of the Cummins would help with recovering other vehicles in making the Ram harder to move, yes, the lack of a front locker would make it harder to go off-road.
I have a buddy with those same sliders. If you use the truck like she does, they are worth it. I think white knuckle makes a great pair also. Unfortunately, they have to be heavy to work. We live around Moab and southern Utah and lots of rocks to mess up truck without sliders.
Pay Attention, Boys = this lady uses this truck for her business. She could probably have Any truck she wanted since they write it off, yet the Power Wagon endures.
I'd 100% take a power wagon over a TRX any day. Tows more, hauls more, just as good off road, and yeah, it's not as fast, but that hemi and no slouch and for $12k less, I can deal.
I agree 100 percent and much cheap for base model power wagon or tradesman with power wagon package. But dang, I did drive a buddies trx and it was so fun.
I like the video but I don't like the ads in the middle. You two already has ads and now we have more ads. I pay for UA-cam premium not to see ads and now I still see ads. Like I said I enjoy your videos but it does discourage me from watching
2017=older?? the world we're living in now...Nena's forgotten more about offroading than most men learn in their lives. IF they made a tazer for the powerwagon I'd own another one new 2023 TOMORROW. You just disable all that on a Jeep.
Kind of weird that there is a random Nissan ad at the beginning of the video. How is TFL going to remain impartial now that they are getting sponsor money from manufacturers? Always thought that was TFL's area of pride. Trying to be as impartial as possible, even going to lengths such as purchasing long term review vehicles.
would you rather see nathan's man scaping commercial?nissan commercial are a lot shorter and less creepy.but i don't think their selling out to nissan.
My 21 PW has never seen 14 no matter what kind of driving I do. And I’m very easy on the gas pedal. I barely mash and torque on my wagon. I don’t know how anyone can realistically get 17-19 mpg out of this wagon. Haha !!!
@@elaineacedo yep 19 going 60, and 17 going 70. Just took a trip to LA, mountain driving to get there and stop and go in LA, but easy highway otherwise, averaged 15
Too long didn't watch,anyhoo I am more interested in how a vehicle looks and how supple the leather is. You know the important stuff. Does the new power van have contrasting stitching?
After 80K? Does the title come before the facts on the video? The owner, clearly says 73K! 🙄 The odometer shows just under 73K total. So where does this "After 80,000 Miles Towing and Off-Roading, Here's How My Ram Power Wagon Has Held Up!" come from? TFL says honest reviews right? lol I suppose that does not include titles. lol

So I bought my PW in 2017 as well. Mine now has 95+ thousand miles. I have several of the same upgrades Nina has put on her truck. Love my Wagon!
What you reckon your fuel consumption is?

She is awesome been doing this for a while I would love more content with her
This is the truckiest truck that’s ever trucked
Her next Power Wagon should be named Trucky McTruckface.
@@backwoodstherapy I was thinking 'Ellie-8' (because of the 8 speed transmission.)😊
I named mine 'the BAT' (BIG ASS TRUCK)....😅🦇😂
I liked her little laugh and that she actually used her power wagon. Great video.
I don't know what I like better. This cool lady or this cool truck.
If she can afford it, I would recommend keeping that truck even if she gets an new one.

Cool to hear her story and all the success she has had with her rig! She really uses it for PW stuff and it's great to see that!
Great review of a POWERWAGON!
Lets not have ads as a part of the video....
I just bought a used 2018 power wagon. I love it. I need one e of those snorkels.
Love my 2017 PW!! Best truck ever.
Get that spacer off of there and get thuren or Carli coils and it will ride much better. Really cool truck!
Well that's encouraging to hear about 6.4 no doubt
Sounds like the perfect customer for a new HD Rebel Cummins with how she works her rig. But why change what isn't broken?

They much heavier to, which is not good in sand or mud.
Did you ask her what her new payload is after she put 400lb rock sliders, the snorkel, the heavier bumper/winch on the vehicle?
Just air bag it and call it even
I have a buddy with those same sliders. If you use the truck like she does, they are worth it. I think white knuckle makes a great pair also. Unfortunately, they have to be heavy to work. We live around Moab and southern Utah and lots of rocks to mess up truck without sliders.

Blah blah blah.

Hey Andre, how’s about a “day in the life” video following her and her truck around? 🤩
I love that she refers to her truck as “she”. Amazing!

When i get my Power wagon i will be calling her.
im buying a 2017 this week, isnt anyone having transmission issues? higher miles? i need yalls input.
Mine needed a tranny at 120k.
I love the truck so much, that I'm ok with the pending transmission doom. I git mine for 27k and a built tranny will be around 8k
