TFL 2019 Power Wagon... review?

[Jared B]

We have almost 300 photos from the event that we will be releasing along with new information before we release our driving impressions on HDRams when the Embargo is up next Thursday.

Thought I'd share this review, it's the first I've seen of a 2019 Power Wagon that wasn't from the Press trip. It also discusses a bit about the truck that other reviews hadn't really hit on:

Wow the Tire and loading sticker is less than my Rebel

I like the Power Wagon; it would be great with a 4" lift and some 37" ties. But I'll wait for this instead: https://www.foxnews.com/auto/secrets-of-the-hellcat-powered-ram-1500-rebel-trx-revealed

TFL with a comparison video that I've personally been waiting for, especially with the Gladiator getting so much press lately.

Power Wagon VS Rebel VS Gladiator

Edmunds does a comparison of the 2019 Raptor and Power Wagons, some off road dancing and some very easy crawling.

Maybe for 2020 we can get diesel (being AT4 will have this option)..... and a back seat my daughter won't curse me for. 14 year old on a record growth spurt.

You are not the first I've seen express this, and it puzzles me a bit. I just had a guy ride in the back seat of my CC who is 6' 5" and 325#. He stated he was very comfortable and had plenty of room. Are you maybe refering to the lack of room in a 1500 Quad Cab versus a Crew Cab

Yeah, I don't get it either. I understand the new 2500's aren't as roomy in the back as the F150s or the new 1500s, but they are still extremely large by any other standard measure.

4th gen crew cabs are a great size IMO. I think these 2019 to 2022ish? 4.5 gen HDs are going to be a real gem historically, as once they go full 5th gen and commonize cab sizes the wheelbase on the standard crew will have to grow as well to use the 1500 5th gen cab size. They may add a quad cab (too small for me) and drop the mega cab (too big) but the 4th gen crew cab is currently sized just right and perfect with a 6'4" bed. Biggest downside is no pano roof. I'd love to see a HD crew cab the same size as 4th gen crew cabs but with flat floor and panoramic roof.

Don't get me wrong 5th gen 1500 crew cabs are very nice and flat floor but i'd want to stick with a 5'7" bed due to overall length.

@Rustydodge, you covered my wishes as well.. flat floor and a pano roof are really nice features of the 1500 that aren't available on the HDs. I'm having a bit of trouble trying to find a mostly loaded Power Wagon without a sunroof. Funny thing is, I'd want that option if it were Pano.. but I don't one with the old smaller one. Certainly rather spend that $1,200 or so on RamBox or some other options.
