Pretty slow in the PW section these days. Anyone care to share their wants for the rumored redesign?

Chances are the next redesign will be mostly body updates to the same cab/bed as the DT body trucks. The body update is sorta overdue as it's already 15 years old.

That would be a good start. I would think 35's are a must with the tremor, at4x and zr2.

With the ending of the small hemi it'll make the future power train options interesting too. I'm wondering if they'll do a turbo variant of the new 6 cylinder for the HD line?...

They have at least done market research / consumer focus group studies on it. No idea if there's any progression beyond that.

35 inch tires with a 37 inch option. 2000 watt on board inverter and a on board air compressor at least as options. I would love to see the HO turbo 6 with the added torque.

The guy on here that had the white pw and 40's put them on and I thought they look really good. Different strokes I guess

If they want to put a 6 banger in I’m glad I got my pw when I did I’m not a big fan of turbo gas engines you can get lots of power but it doesn’t last

A transmission that doesn’t blow up (yes I’m still bitter)bumpers that aren’t like beer cans. Proper rock sliders and skids I would also like a bigger gas tank. And a better place for spare tire

They already did that on the transmission. The 8 speed is better than the 6 in every way, including power handling and durability. Sliders aren't bad. Rock rails, yeah, aftermarket is better than OEM. I'm with you on the gas tank, but that may be counter-productive to spare tire placement unless you move it to the bed...

Hmmm, love my 2022 PW, but how about...
> Option to remove those ginormous PW decals on the rear quarter panels (dealer did it for me)
> Larger gas tank
> Remove the security access gateway so we have tuner access (I'm aware it can be bypassed)
> Set gas tank capacity to actual, so E means E
> Larger rims & tires, those 17" are way too small
> Improve mileage (my 2022 has > 20,000 miles & I've never seen 18MPG highway)

37 capable, larger tank, manlier sounding exhaust, get rid of the middle seat in front and make an actual middle console.
#1. Make the vent lines to the fuel tank out of something squirrels don't like to eat!

My missus recently bought a 1500 with the 8 speed I’m not sure if I like it better or not. It’s smooth but seems to hunt for gears

I would prefer dual tanks to just one large one. The breaks could be better. Make a 3500 version with 6.2 supercharged option.
