Greets,
Picked up a 2019 Power Wagon a couple of weeks ago. I traded in a Subaru Outback that I had upgraded with lift, smaller wheels/bigger tires, overbuilt suspension and load springs, underbody armor and other goodies. Initially looked at Chevy Colorado Bison Edition, primarily because I wanted all the offroad upgrades from the factory. After haggling for months and getting nowhere (mid sized trucks for $45K WTF?) I realized if I could get the discounts others are getting on Rams a Power Wagon would only be $8-9K more. TFL Offroad and TFL Trucks on YouTube sealed the deal with their coverage of the Power Wagon.
At the moment I pull an offroad tear drop trailer, but want to have options going forward (RTT, or Bed camper). Just didn't want to be limited in choice and Power Wagon seemed to be the best bang for the buck. Compared to the Chevy Colorado Bison 16/19 the Power Wagon's MPG isn't that much different, but it's a HEMI with more than 2x the HP and 2x the torque. Chevy didn't have Adaptive Cruise, Home LInk, or Bed Cam. It was impossible to find a Bison edition in the color I wanted too. The Power Wagon is much more value for only 15-20% more $. It became a no-brainer when I found my Power Wagon with all the options I wanted, in the color I wanted, and within 150 miles of home. Found it, negotiated it (and the trade)and next day I was on the way to the dealer to close. Test drive cemented the decision.
Time to quit the Subaru Outback forums and pick it up here, or PW Registry. Thanks for the great resource mods!
So here's Max:
And Max meets Frank the Tank during trade:
And here is what he's getting into:
