    2018 TrailWhale Powerwagon Ram 2500

    If you drive up to south eastern Alabama (Dothan) there are two shops that could do both without any issue. Motobilt and Undercover fabworks.

    Should it stay or should it go?

    The 8spd trans should be a major improvement in fuel economy and overall drivability in the new powerwagon. I vote new Power Wagon. It’s just hard to beat that truck when you come down to it.

    2019 Ram

    Power wagon with the 8spd should be the best heavy duty truck out there for overlanding at this point. The half ton 8spd is pretty dang good so the 6.4 with an 8spd should be pretty impressive.

    RAM 1500 with the 8 speed tranny?

    The 8spd is an excellent transmission. It’s one of the best in the industry at the moment. Look at a few Ram forums and look at peoples opinions about the 8sp. I have one behind the 5.7 and love to drive it. Always in the right gear and they can get better than 20hwy with the 5.7. The...

    2019 Ford Ranger Taking Orders

    I work for a DOD fire department and like you mentioned with the government stuff we have all Ford f550 fire trucks. We can’t keep enough running to man stations the majority of the time. We have 12 and older trucks and have replaced multiple 6.7 and 6.4 engines in these trucks. I wouldn’t...

    Starting with stock 2010 Ford F150 FX4...

    I’d suggest going ahead and attempting to have the plugs changed in the 5.4. Just based on personal experience with that horribly designed engine. Idk, if the later 5.4 engines where different from my 05 but 5 out of the 8 plugs where basically welded to the block and it wasn’t but cheap to...

    CUV / Crossover with 4Lo

    The KL cherokee has low range and a locker in the trailhawk version. They are very capable vehicles. My wife had one and it was dead reliable, got pretty decent mpg, and was fun to drive. I actually really miss that vehicle.

    Anyone using a new Ford Superduty with the 6.2L?

    I’ve got a 14 6.4 Ram and love it. Great motor. Very peppy engine. Like someone else said towing under 12000 pounds the gas 3/4 tons are good options. 6.4 is a rev happy motor. Just let it scream and it will tow whatever you put behind it.

    Cherokee Trailhawk

    My wife has had a 15 trailhawk for about 2 years. It has been dead reliable and is very comfortable to drive. I put a small 1.5" supsension lift on it and went up a size from the factory tires and it has gone anywhere we have ever needed to go while getting a consistent 21-22 mpg. I would...

    M1101 Advice

    I've got a 2010. Payed 1000 for it in almost new condition. I pull it with a Ram 2500. I think it would be a pretty good load for a jk to haul. Especially if it is a 3.8 jk.

    3.73 vs 4.10 in a 3/4 ton

    I've got a 14 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 V8. Mine has 3.73 gears and 35" bfg ko2 tires. I regularly tow 8000 pounds with it and it tows great but I keep it locked out of 6th gear when towing. I think if it had 4.10 gears it would be about perfect. I'd go wth the lowest gears you can get factory...

    A year with the 2015 Ram Power Wagon

    I've got a 2014 2500 with 6.4, 3.73 gears and 35's. I average around 13-14 but like you mine is capable of getting 18 on a long trip if I keep my foot out of it. The 6.4 really is a great motor and fairly economical for a big block v8.

    Ford or Ram?

    I will say the 6.4 likes to rev. It makes most of its power from about 3k on but you can definitely feel the power and touque when it hits 3k. It's a good engine.

    Ford or Ram?

    I keep the MDS turned off. It definitely does not like the lager tires. You can turn it off by putting the trans in 6th on the gear shift selector. It will get 18 on long trips running 60 in flatter areas. Like a trip to Florida. That's also with me actively trying to get good mileage...

    Ford or Ram?

    I have a 14 crew cab tradesman 2500 4x4 with the 6.4 hemi in it and love it. I don't see how people are saying the power doesn't transfer from paper. Mine has plenty of power for anything I've put it through from towing my tractor and equipment to my boat. The truck is very quick unloaded...

    Gen 2,3 & 4 Ram 2500 4wd question

    I've got a 2014 tradesman with the 6.4 Hemi. It has a manual transfer case in it. It's also a crew cab and has more than enough room for my two kids in the back. It is the biggest cab I've ever had in a fullsize truck. It is a very comfortable truck even being a lower trim level. Very happy...

    My ongoing Xterra build thread

    I had an 02 N/A and my lifters were very noisy on start up in the mornings also. Never had a problem with the motor though. I actually miss my old X a lot.
