They also could be the Rigid mounts. I have those for my 2022 Power Wagon. Would need to see the full mount. All the brands are Simular.

They're like kids. You love them both, but just differently. Another thing to add. The Cummins puts the intercooler right where the OE winch is mounted. I don't think a lot of people realize or understand the value of the engineering Ram did to custom mount the winch between the frame rails. This tucks it back behind a stock bumper. If you wanted to mount one on the Cummins it would have to be mounted on an after market winch bumper way out front putting even more weight way out where you don't want it. Not to mention losing that great approach angle.

the pre14 trucks, fitted them nicely, but with the upgraded and reloaced intercooler on the 14+ trucks makes it incredibly difficult, another aspect to think about with the diesel is dragging the intercooler into water or rocks. plus the wagon specific radius arms are a big plus. they grant the truck way more articulation then a diesel ever could.

Agree with Cody. I’m a store manager of an 18 wheeler parts store and have been selling parts for going on 15 years. Nut and ferrule fittings require a hair more labor to install but are better for permanent solutions. Keep some quick connect fittings for roadside emergencies and get home fixes but other than that stick with nut and ferrule.

Your spare tire mount is a solution I've been looking for. Thank you for going over this. It's a great find!

I love the setup, the flatbed and full size campers are so nice for the interior extra space.

I have a 21, RAM 3500 and I have a Palomino 1251 that supposedly weight 1700 lbs. Running across Interstate 80 through Ohio and PA my round trip mileage is 15.5 MPG at 5 miles per hour over every posted speed limit sign. I know from other trips if I keep it at or below 65 I can easily add another mile per gallon. The diesels are nice the power is incredible, BUT I'm begging you with tears in my eyes, do NOT own ANY of the new diesels outside the factory warranty. If you do you'll be inviting financial disaster. Ohh and I have 35x11.5 tires so there's probably some math in there to adjust my mileage (as reported on the dash). And I have Thuren sway bar, front coils, fox shocks, and sulastic shackles. The truck in stock form was FREAKING rough on the road. It's perfect now with the Thuren parts. Take care.

Pleas PLEASE PLEASE for the sake of Powerwagon owners , put some pressure on Long Range America to finish developing the extended range fuel tank for the new wagons!!!! They already have one for the 1500 the gets almost 50 gallons , and that would be perfect for the Wagon. Also not sure (you probably already know this) but have you looked into regearing? 4.88 and 5.13 gearing is common among newer wagons who run 37's and still pull loads .

Wow you're coming to my home state!!! Can't wait to see that video!!!!!

I run my Jackery with my Dometic and have the Jackery plugged into the trucks 110 and the cooler plugged in the 12 volt, works awesome and always charged

We have a 2018 2500 with the beastly 6.7L. We also have a 2016 1500 with the mild tugboat 3.0L. The ULTIMATE Powerwagon would be 3.0L powered, with 4.56 gears, 37's, the 4wheel camper and ALL the Brad mods!!!! We just got back from a trip from Lancaster, CA, to Waynesville, NC, Blackstone, VA, Williamsburg, VA,, Luray(caverns), VA, Wolcott, IA, Broomfield, CO, Zion NP, and then home. For the 6146 mile trip, we averaged 24mpg, with the 3.42 ratio and the stock size 275/70-18 tires. Bilstein shocks improved the ride. And a steering brace improved the steering. But we had to visit Big O tires in Broomfield, CO, rotate the tires to cure a growing "Death Wobble" issue. Enjoy your trip! And hold the cruise control at 62mph as much as you can. And the mpg won't be that bad.

It's on the floor, basically squished between the folded rear seat and front seat. Extremely difficult for a device that size to get tossed around in an accident. It will just push forward and be trapped by the drivers seat back which prevents it from going up due to seat angle. Now if they were putting it higher, like on top of the folded-down seat or on an internal rack like what Donald @softroadingthewest does, you'd need tie downs for safety (as Donald does)

great channel, awesome content. thank you for taking the time to detail all of your builds for us. Having pulled trailers, put tents on racks and now having a camper on a power wagon, can you take a minute to tell us from experience what is the most convenient way to find those desolate camp spots and have the most fun without much hassle in the wilderness ? Thank you Brad !

See ya at Overlanding Expo East!

In my Ram last Yr, I pugged my 17L Borge Refrig into a Jackery, and the Jackery into the truck. That way the reefer always had power, truck on or off. And Jackery usually stayed fully charged except in camp, when I broke out the solar panel. And btw, Semper Fi Master Chief, from an old HM2.

Brad, find your local Parker Store. Ask for their NTA fittings. They are a DOT compression fitting for plastic air line. Many configurations, unions, straights, 90’s.

Wow I like that tire carrier, with the table that’s awesome

The primary advantage the Power Wagon has aside from weighing less, is the winch that comes with it. If you know that you'll need a winch you're actually saving money by going with the Power Wagon over a Laramie that has a diesel. With the diesel, you'd have to get an aftermarket bumper (because of the intercooler) from AEV, Expedition One, ARB etc. That'll add roughly $3k to the build not counting the cost of a winch. Of course you could go with a Trans4mer set up from Warn and Mile Marker has a similar one too that would forego getting an entirely different bumper. I have a 2018 Ram 2500 diesel Laramie that I absolutely love, but if I want to get a winch set up for it, it's a huge monetary commitment. As someone who also rides a motorcycle you're talking about spending a huge amount of money in two different directions! Not at that point yet!

Brad, I think you made a great decision getting the PW for the following reasons (and I’ve mentioned these in comments of previous videos of yours before): 1) Cost - out of the box from factory. The Carly system alone installed is $10k. The wheels and tires are another $3k installed and the pop up camper is idk - $15k? The Cummins is $6-9k more than the 6.4L hemi as an option on the Ram 2500 so adding lockers, lower gears, sway bar disconnect, and winch costs double the cost of a Cummins minimum installed. Should I go on? 2) Aesthetics. There is no truck that looks as good as a PW especially in person and yours TR style is 🔥. It is a showstopper and head turner. I have 2 “neighbors” with PW’s one is the 75th anniversary edition in that sweet orange color and I can’t stop staring at it! 3) Offroad - this truck is a massive jeep rubicon. Enough said. 4) Gasoline engine…funnily enough I think this is a positive for off-roaders at high elevations. They require less and cheaper maintenance. They don’t struggle at extreme elevations and very cold climates. Gas is still more readily available anywhere anytime. Strangely enough it is still more difficult to find diesel esp when you need it most. This is another reason I won’t get an EV 4x4 for another decade til I feel confident about that and they’ve figured out all the kinks. 5) Comfort. If you’ve never driven or ridden in a Ram 2500 stock then you don’t know that it is as smooth as a Cadillac (almost lol that’s why I got a ram 1500 instead. That is as smooth as a Cadillac). It is roomy and has so many electrical ports for charging and powering devices. There’s more I could say but I’ll leave it at that for now lol. I’d have no problem getting a PW for my next truck now that I can afford one and justify its thirsty fuel tank. My buddies with 2500s and 37s say they only get 12-15 mpg anyway so id be fine with 10-12 on a beastly PW.

That is one beautiful truck!

This is a great setup….the diesel vs gas thing….like you say you cant get lockers….if you ever went that route..it would cost you quite a bit and to people i always say go 350 or 3500 the payload is double…with the RAM 3500 you get the air bags in the back..keeps the truck level..BUT i say the powerwagon gas you have is the way to go….for the lockers…. The HO cummins in the 3500 is like 14k with tax…..thats alot of gas….but going down the road nothing is smoother than that inline 6…and 1075 lb ft ha ha…i went with a black ram 3500 single cab…8 ft box….my dream truck is a single cab power wagon..but they dont make it…BUT there are some from 05-09 out there ….and they r beasts with the shorter wheelbase and 4.56s from factory…..i guess new jeeps with 35s r coming with 4.56s too

Nope. The guys at CJC Off-road did a great job installing them. 👍

Hi Brad, could you cover the maintenance part, such as diff and transfer case oil change. Since you do lots of off-roading how often you change the oil? (mine has 37k and i am wondering if i should do front and read diff. dealer priced about $450)

Im moving over to sumosprings from bags, should do the trick.
