Power Wagon is a beast!
I know it's so fucking bid ass huge
+robvas I'm not saying it isn't, but all of TFL's videos are very very light off roading
+Terminxman then why couldnt the other trucks make it. Also they are in snow.
+Terminxman you can also find videos of power wagon going through more than that especially bc dodge owns best offroad vehicles and its proven.
Owned Ford and Chevy trucks my whole life. For the first time in my life, I want a Dodge. Way to go Fastlane!
Terrible on gas, going to be expensive maintenance bills, huge, will be difficult to find a parking spot etc etc and I can't wait for mine to arrive at the dealership. :)
I love my Chevy but that comment was AWESOME!
Expensive maintenance bills? How about no.
love those power wagons, my favorite truck
Really been digging the more refined editing you guys have been doing. Keep it up! Also the Power Wagon is the definition of a bad ass truck!
One of the most well put together FLT videos I've seen! and great job to the truck!
Great review Roman, nice to see you doing this and having fun! Keep it up! :)
It doesn't matter what type of truck. It's all about the tires, type of 4x4 system and the drivers abilities.
Indeed a good $10k used 4x4 with around $5k of upgrades would get up the goldmine.
+JUKEBOXX1990 Very true but that's because those upgrades would go specifically into increasing off-road capability. This is till a good test for stock vehicles I think. Not super scientific but still worth doing
+Victor W And front lockers.....
+Keinlicht really it's just a good test of tires. Any cheap 4X4 with quality snow tires could pass this test. Every failure of this test is because of one reason: loss of traction by the tires. Not ground clearance, not horsepower, or even turning radius problems; just tire slippage.
+John G That hump at the end? No, sway bar disconnect and lockers, front rear, are what makes that happen. Sure tires help, but look up the 05 or so series Power Wagon in Moab...
I was wondering when you guys were going to test a ram!! Great video, thanks
This is such a fun video to watch!! Keep it up guys!!
I love this truck!! I've always been a Ram lover so seeing this do so well reinforces my love for this truck.
At the beginning i did not know where it was headed but realized it soon and awesome intro.
First tfl review ever with proper tires.
I love this channel so much I wish I worked there. Great channel.
Great video, love gold mine hill videos!
It's amazing what lockers can do for you
Excellent! Thanks for sharing this review
There was less snow and less ice this time.
A lot less the landcruiser and Titan had it the worst
+Piotr W yeah pretty sure it had Bridgestone dueler highway terrain or the equivalent Michelin
Yeah looked like it got melty at one point and froze into nice grippy solid crystals.
this is a sick truck and it never even broke a sweat !!
Great review Roman! I got stuck in the snow (hopefully for the last time) in my 2014 Ram 2500 with those awful Transforce tires today. Had to get pulled out by a Silverado. (happy to have the help!) I may get those Goodyear tires as shown. I was on flat ground and wasn't high centered either. 4x4 and anti-spin diff too.
The Fast Lane Truck, great job on these videos. There will always be people who bitch and complain. It's not like you guys can control the elements or the timing of when each vehicle arrives to be tested. To all the whiners out there, why not put together your own channel and do these test in your own PERFECT way? JS!
You are so correct. We don't have control of the weather or the timing of when the manufacturer supply us the trucks. We also don't have the budget to buy new tires for trucks we don't own. We do the best we can given these limitations. Thanks for watching!
+The Fast Lane Truck just for fun you should put the ram power wagon against mercedes 6x6 i think it would roast the 6x6 though
+The Fast Lane Truck 👍
More please! Great video! It's so hard to find videos featuring the powewagon perhaps the ike test and 100 mile loop?
you guys have to much fun.and yes I'm jealous. keep up the good work.
Keep up the great reviews TFL Truck! hope you have time to do an IKE Gauntlet run and a MPG loop with the Power Wagon!
This video looks great in 4k. It's now the video I use to show off the new tv's picture
Great package and a good test of the vehicle. It would be equally great to see a redesign of the Dakota with this type of set-up in a slightly smaller package.
It seems Quad traction is what it takes to have full control , and a little added weight helps. The truck is amazing looking. Sits nice and high with its head up feeling proud , thanks for this video.
Great vid. I have a 72 power wagon. 318 4 speed. Its unstoppable.
I was glad to see Roman mention the Goodyear Duratracs. I havd them on my one ton F350 with the 7.3L Powerstroke. I have it lifted with 35" tires and I have been up and over this hill in the winter as well. even with my truck weighing over 10k lbs I made it. granted I have a Yukon Grizzly locker in the rear etc. but I am really impressed with the tires.
Of course the Power Wagon age that trail for lunch, and went looking for seconds; it's loaded with all the off-road equipment the Wrangler Rubicon has. What an awesome rig!
Just confirmation of what I already knew as an owner of a 2015. This truck is beast 👍
Rad truck, and an awesome review!
And this is why I love my power wagon!
Nice camera work!
I'm very impressed about the Power wagon 4x4!
I like that guitar riff by the Off-White Stripes!
BF Goodrich KO2 not Bridgestone little slip Roman. Only one I can remember. You guys do an incredible job getting your facts correct 99.99% of the time
nice!!! I love this truck...
good job!
That front and rear locking diff did it!
Ide like to see the Chevy 2500hd go through exact test(including the snow).
LMAO, It would never happen it would be fun to watch though .
New reigning champ of gold mine hill
I have one. Its even more fun with mud. Being a Pipeline Inspector I go where others can't.
I have a 2500 Ram Crew Cab Laramie Longbox and the truck is a beast. 23 feet long, 6'6" high. It's got the 5.7L and no locking diffs but she's a trooper!
great truck
those wranglers are amazing in the snow! i know i have them
The 118 Dislikes are Ford and Chevy Owners.
I'm a Toyota guy, but this is a real truck! I see you guys using the OSMO a lot more in your videos :)
we use those wrangler duratracks on our medium and heavy duty vans and trucks for snow removal plowing and shoveling crews. and they are prob the best tires i have seen for the snow yet.
hey guys you should make a video of the gmc sierra 2017 z71 in the gold mine hill
Nice video guys and FYI, the next gen Raptor arrives late THIS year as a '17 model and I for one can not wait. :-)
I hope you guys can get your hands on one ASAP and really put it thru the paces. It's gonna be something really special.
-All of these weenies complaining about the TT 3.5 do so because they're stuck in 1975 and can't admit there really IS a replacement for displacement.
well if your gonna have a name like RAM, you better be good in the snowy mountains right. great job. a win for us big things! lol
Wow impressive
Good show. The 2017 Jeep has a lot to catch up to.
yes Chris T. they always do stage 2 from a stop
If I recall correctly the snow when you attempted the trail with the F-150 Raptor was deeper.
Love that truck
Nice big truck.
Man! You can just hear that exhaust chocking that truck to dearh!
Goodyear Duratracs- great tires. You can even put metal spikes in them for snow!
I want one so bad,my favorite truck of all time.
hey, i found one of these things parked in my driveway.
They ever do a second gen ram?
and that's why I love my 74 power wagon.
Best intro ever
I want this pickup so bad!
Def a proper off road truck. Though there wasn't as much snow as other test.
I could totally understand your nerves. I love going onto back roads and exploring but it is intimidating facing iffy situations and driving miles on jagged looking rocks in the desert etc. Sometimes it isn't as fun as it seems.
Ram Power! rock crawler and snow crawler awesome!
Love the power wagon but I'd love it even more if I could get it w/ the cummins.
i wouldnt be upset but i do recall there being an extra foot of snow on the ground when you tried it with the raptor
Can you guys do an review on Ram 2500 AVE Prospector?
There are two Power Wagon options one is the Power Wagon Tradesman which does away with a lot of the options and brings it in at about $47,405 instead of the $56,515. Same great truck just without all the bells and whistles. Tires are one point in providing traction but weight has a great advantage in providing traction also and being able to articulate better also helps with providing traction also.
That front diff helps a lot that's why every off reader usually add one to their vehicle! Good job dodge
There was dirt everywhere.. Power wagon is a beast truck but there significantly less snow compared to other tests.
Ram is life
More please
i know a lot of people that swear by the duratracs, my father had a 92 f250 2wd on his farm and it got stuck every other day, put duratracs on it and it almost never got stuck again
From a Chevy man, this is a great truck! I'm looking for one as I write this comment. However, do you think some of that 4 x 4 ability had to do with possibly the best tires, Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs? I put a set on a 2 x 4 truck and I run FLT's Ike Gauntlet (Georgetown to Silverthorne and back) every day with indifference to rain, snow, and ice. The only thing better is the matching set of Duratracs I have on a 4 x 4 truck. Thanks for this article/clip, it made a believer of life in other than a Chevy.
If you fellas ever come up to Canada, make sure it's in the summer ok :)
This kinda makes me want to get a ram now too kinda want to own one of each at one point
I am a big GM fan. Love the Silverados and Sierras, but the Power Wagon has to be one of the best looking and performing trucks in production. They look so badass! If I would ever switch from GM I would have to get a Power Wagon. I'd get one now but currently saving for a GMC 2500!
i think that RAM power wagon is the best for off road.
I have pretty much the exact truck. Except I don't have the toolbox in the truck bed sides. Everything else I have .
i've been a ford guy pretty much since I had a license... but god dang if that wasn't a notable offroad difference over the f150.
The power wagon has always been a badass truck, but to be fair, there wasn't nearly as much snow on the ground as when they tested the Raptor or the Titan.
+Jonathan Roberson really. REALlY, are you crying..... cause of the conditions... you love Ford that much you will come up with that? REally? Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
C Steele I think it's time to take your meds, bud.
Jonathan Roberson the only one on meds is you with comments like that. Wahhhhhhh wahhhhhh wahhhhh!
C Steele lol, good comeback. You could just go watch all of the other vehicles do the same test and see for yourself, or just keep embarrassing yourself.
I had Duratrac 315/75/16's on a 03 Z71 and the only limiting factor was running 4hi in extremely deep stuff. I had snow that was getting pushed by my mirrors and the truck begged for more (In 4lo). It had 3.73's so I imagine 4.56's would've made it ideal and much more fun. But I can't say enough good things about the Duratracs!
You guys should take the Ram Rebel up there
i see more dirt in this comparison verses trucks that were in this contest in the past. also someone explain to me why there is only 410hp in the 6.4 hemi?
This is hilarious i do recall watching the raptor video and it not having he best tires on it, these tires look brand new and we all know new tires give you traction. Also there is no snow here and in the raptor there was inches of snow that it had to go through haha
Good review FLT. There is NO other truck like the Power Wagon. The raptor & the others just aren't in its league. Those trucks are 4wd yet that's where the similarity ends. The others just seem to be fast fun dune runners where this truck is more at home in this type of environment. I don't think this PW even spun a wheel did it? Thanks for the review FLT.
I could see before he attempted part 3 he was gonna make it,, you could see dirt in the snow,, the raptor video there was a lot of snow/ice to be seen
Just got a 2016 ram 1500 crew cab...... Damn you power wagon, I want you
You guys should do this with the Tacoma trd off road.
can you try the ram rebel here plz
Can you get a TRD Pro 4Runner up there?
Here's a challenge: Get Chrysler/Fiat to let you take the Jeep Africa up there. Boy would that be a hoot! The Land Cruiser could have done better with better tires but I understand the "off-the-showroom-floor" test concept. Tires mean a bunch and the sway bar disconnect had to help the PW keep its feet on the ground in Phase 3. Thanks for fun tests!
you should do a side by side competition between all full size offroad trucks the power wagon, raptor, trd tundra, titan pro4x, with the same driver same track offroad
wow new fave
they should make a 2 dr short bed power wagon that would be the most capable truck from factory
Yes, And more affordable.
They use to on 3rd gens. Extremely rare, I think less than 1000 were produced (maybe less) . They were order specific
I thought the raptor has a factory installed such as well?
