Even if it's a glammed up Rebel. I'm getting it. Front locker and disconnect is key especailly with the deisel and payload for my overlanding use case.
I honestly want them to keep the cab small. I'm waiting to get one and make it a long distance overlander. And on some trails the long trucks are unwieldy. The short length of the RAM HDs is perfect for a full size truck on the trail (I own an AEV Jeep 392 that I go off road with). Of...
Thought it might be helpful to see the effect of the new 850lb increase on GVWR on payload. 2800 payload is great. I'm looking at building a full size expedition rig to go really far (Alaska, Arctic) so havign the extra payload is great, while still keeping thigns like hill descent, rear...
Had a chance to test drive 2025 Powet Wagon and Rebel on the lot. Here’s the payload and GVWR for both:

I have taken a recovery and winching course put on by The Driving Company - who trains firefighters, military and LEO working off road. They recover 30,000 fire rigs.
Soft shackles aren't recommended to be put on anything that is not meant for a soft shackle. The sharp edges on the chain...
Really appreciate your posts. Learned a lot and helped me build a terminal bus that provides power to my fridge, cargo area lights, and any other DC needs with Anderson SB50 connectors. Based on yours and others, went with Ancor for everything, and did a lot of calculations based on wiring...
I appreciate your comments on AEV. I talk to Dave, the CEO, quite often. The amount of engineering and testing that his company puts into each product easily justifies the higher price. I believe I messaged you once on the Expedition Portal platform - since I learned a lot from your posts. I...
I was heading there until the 2025's came out and I'm waiting to see what the 3500s do with the airbag situation. I love them. Have a friend who has one and he mixes daily driving it with a Tacoma he also has. Just can't park in parking garages and tighter lots. But it has presence, and can...
I hope Tim Kuniskis fixes all this. This is horrible launch of any product. First, you don't really give a big update (I mean new engine is okay but the cab stays the same and you don't even get the stuff like HUD, panoramic roof, massaging seats, etc you get in other trucks these days)...
Will be doing some long off road trips (multi state) and a few of my friends have one. They love it. They rave about it's reliability and ability to get over some obstacles. Obviously not the same as a Jeep with lockers and disconnecting sway, but very good for long range trips. Also (I may...
This would be a big miss on RAMs part. RAM isn't competing on overall power. Not competing on modern CABs. Not competing on payload or towing capacity. So what are they competing on? They definitely look better, but that's subjective. The interior looks better, but they completely missed...
