Looks awesome

 

[g00fy]

Damn it, I want one...

 

[Wintrskibum]

This looks awesome! I was going to finalize my 2023 power wagon order today. As of now there is no option for the performance hood for the power wagon. Wondering if this will be stock for all 23’ power wagons or if it will be an option not available to order right now. Definitely want this. Maybe I’ll wait…

Looks so good

 

[Crusty old shellback]

I like the look.
Like it better if it's a functioning hood scoop.

 

[Brutal_HO]

Only if the hood badge are painted/paintable. Hate the maintenance on ABS parts. Just like the bed rails. Hate them with a passion. Even treating them with a ceramic sealer, they suck to keep looking nice.

 

[Brutal_HO]

I'm guessing those don't have hood flutter issues...

 

[UglyViking]

I dig the look, but I also wonder about those model badges. They look like they would be ripe for water leakage if they are similar to the current mounting system. I've already had water intrusion issues on my hood.

Its got the new mirrors i see too

I wonder what the cost of the hood will be to buy with the plastics? If its a functioning scoop that would be a nice upgrade vs the OEM setup on my truck now that is covered once the winter front goes on…

Uh, the mirrors look like the same ones I have on my '21 PW. Just flipped up into "moose mode"

There's a few threads on the new trucks including discussions of the new mirrors. They are power telescoping and similar to the GM mirrors. Fugly IMHO, but functional.

If only Ram could see to install a telescoping steering wheel.

If they brought in the telescoping wheel I think I would order a 23 for that alone.

 

[Crusty old shellback]

Yea, I read they telescope. But they look just like the stock ones. Cant tell from looking where the telescope part is.

Those are definitely the new telescoping mirrors in the pic.

Nope look how it pivots unlike the old style mirrors

 

[Crusty old shellback]

So the new mirror slides out, but does not flip up like the current ones.
Is the mirror the same size or bigger than the current one?
Yes they went back to the auto fold from before. But it's not that hard to push the button and have them fold in when I need to.

So the big question is, are they tucked in closer when in than the current ones?
Or do they stick out farther than the stock ones flipped up when they are slid out?

They don't flip. I thought the same until I took a closer look.
Top picture is the new one slid out.
Lower picture is the current one flipped up.

im talking about the pivot at the door bracket… see how the pictured truck has the door bracket piece at the top and bottom with the mirror pivoting in the center section. The old mirrors only had a lower section and the top was the mirror body…

The downside is that giant rudder that is the camera pod. Jeebus that thing is huge.
