Ram Power Wagon Mojave Sand limited edition has true grit

[Yaj Yak]

i mean, some of those bumpers can be 7-800lbs.

overloading instead of overlanding.

Well played

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Slight bait. I think for the price of them, you’d be real silly not to shop for a full size truck. They cool, just not compared to other things in its price range.

 

[EmersonHart13]

So much small truck hate.

Come at me bro.

lol

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Colorado > Tacoma all day

 

[EmersonHart13]

I has more payload and towing. woohoo

Love me the idea of a Taco, Colorado, and Ranger, don't like their comparative price to their full size counterparts.

Exactly

 

[Kensington]

Also, I don't want to replace the Taco frame in 5 years

 

[Yaj Yak]

i think we're well passed that

 

[EmersonHart13]

<------------------------ Spends money poorly

 

[Kensington]

When did they correct that?

(not trying to be a smartass, genuinely curious, as I was looking through Taco's on craigslist, and saw a few "newer" with new frames"

 

[Yaj Yak]

05-10?
and older?

 

[Kensington]

Yeah I was going to say, I thought I saw an '08 or something with an advertised new frame, and it surprised me, because the frame rust issue has been going on for decades...figured they'd have figured it out

I mean, Tacoma frame rust has been going on since at least 1995

 

[Yaj Yak]

we had two 2008 tundra's here at work, beat to piss, and neither had any rust issues anywhere..

 

[Yaj Yak]

we have a 2010 tundra with 220k miles that's likely never been washed or seen the inside of a building with no rust whatsoever...

 

[Kensington]

Maybe they got the undercoating

 

[muskie]

Its bait

I don't hate it, but the payload is low for what those guys are doing to it. I think it has 1100 lbs of payload and like KJ pointed out, thats all used in racks, skid plates, bumpers, and a winch.

Two grown dudes is 300 plus pounds alone!

So many people doing that and then complaining they need a re-gear to get the power back.

isn't it smart to regear anyways if doing overlanding/off-roading? Plus why not regear if you're probably in there throwing lockers in (at least you should be putting lockers in)

Got that dealer spray

Fair point but I think the point KJ and Emerson were trying to make are these guys aren't 1) Actually doing anything with this gear 2) Probably should have gone with a different platform if they are that 'hardcore'

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Is no one going to point out the fact we're not entirely sure it's a Power Wagon OR a Ram?

I think it needs more stickers and badging.
