I don’t have the ORG and I have hooks…. I thought all these trucks came with front hooks. That’s silly that they don’t.
For me, this is the first 4wd truck I have ever owned. And I grew up in Midwest. My dad was a firm believer that if he couldn't get there with RWD he didn't need to be there. Ive never gotten stuck and needed towed/pulled out. It I've always been more of a higher performance drag racing guy. Even take my Ram to drag strip.Not necessarily defending anyone, but haven't we all taken a truck somewhere we shouldn't have, at least once?I don't generally use my truck for heavy offroading, but until I owned this one it never occurred to me that a 4x4 truck wouldn't just come with hooks
My dad always had a similar philosophy. Funny thing, the only 4wd truck he ever owned was the first one I got stuck - sunk it in an anode bed
. Thank God that day for towhooks and a comealong!!

See if you had a power wagon, the computer nannies wouldnt kick in at all in 4 low and you could drive 65 or so in low gear
Same, grew up in rural Nebraska in gravel roads and snow in winter. I rarely get into an accidental slide. Usually they are self induced for fun, and while it can freak out passengers, or others on the road, I'm in complete control of it. Had my wife get on me yesterday for "accelerating too hard" when he had freezing fog making roads icy. I was just hitting the gas to test the traction in the road. Easier to recover from rear wheels spinning, than hitting brakes and a four wheel slide
I almost bought this one yesterday.
The power wagon is not a tow rig. Its the same capacity as a 1500
Bingo...just less fuel milage because of the bigger motor and the bigger truck
I dont know. My HeftyDuty is returning better fuel mileage than some members here.
Nah, that was where I got drug in a failed strap attempt. I actually made it a quarter mile past that spot, then backed back down to turn around, slipped off the crown and buried it. The real issue was not having factory front tow hooks on a 4x4 so I could get drug back forward onto the road crown. The snow was really wet and slick, you could make fresh tracks fine but once it got packed down it was treacherous. I've been up that mountain 100x in the snow, I didn't even take my motorcycle rack off it.
Why would I not belong there? Been up that same hill for years and years in less capable vehicles. Just didn't know how to generate wheelspin to keep momentum. Electronics killing wheel speed when in 4H locked and tc off made no sense to me. I drove offroad professionally for 5 summers in buggies on the ODNRA, it's not like I don't know how to rally these conditions. I know not everyone treats their city truck like I do, but I don't judge anyone for getting out and having fun with their stuff however they see fit! The guy in the Cherokee was stoked to rescue my dumb *** with his winch, everybody wins!
Never looked, my last Ram was the same package, and it had hooks. Also I haven't been stuck offroad in many many years. No big deal.
