The local dealership took a 2016 Power Wagon in on trade and called me yesterday to see if I might be interested. My Big Horn is only 5 months old, but they know I like to trade a lot. I went in to drive it and absolutely loved the dang thing and the way it drove....but we could not get together on a trade.

Last night I spent some time on the Ram website and built a couple of new trucks and it appeared to me that it might be easier to trade out of mine on a new one. So today I went in to the dealership, located a Tradesman PW, and went with the salesman to dealer trade for it.

Brought it back tonight and will sign paperwork tomorrow morning.

This seems like the perfect truck for me....a cross between a pickup and a Jeep.

Can't wait to get it up in the mountains and get some pictures.

I saved the factory tri fold tonneau cover from my trade in. Sadly, when putting the cover up on the bed sides, I had it slightly misaligned to one side. When I tried to move it forward, it popped off the bed rail and scratched the paint. I guess it's not new any more. The scratch is easily fixable, so no real loss, but it really ****** me off to have something like that happen on the first. day.

I guess it's time to take it to the mountains and get it dirty now.

Thats funny, my salesman just sent me a picture of a new Power Wagon they got in. Laramie package though I believe. But , he knows I have no means to obtain such a truck so he was just being an ass haha.

First tank of gas was 12.7 hand calc'd. Better than the first tank in my previous 6.4 with 3.73s.


We'll see how it shakes out after the first 5000 miles.
