    New 2024 1500 Rebel Came With Extra Lock Cylinder

    Yep! You got mine. I ordered the bed divider and mine showed up without the locking cylinder! I called and it took me over four weeks for it to show up. I actually took it to the Gupton shop and they installed it. I would have had no idea how to "key" it to match the provided key. They did...

    unxpctd's 2021 75A Build Thread

    I had the same thing happen on my '21 PW on a long trip from TN to Moab. I figured that the heat may have pushed the pressure too high?! I normally run 60-65 on the highway. When mine reset on its own the next day, the pressure in some of the tires showed 70 psi. Just a guess. It has not...

    How much AC power?

    Stupid me. I went out to a remote site this weekend with an electric drill to hang some signs... I have three outlets; the center-stack as mentioned, the crew cab back seat and in the cargo box. All the same... I was hoping the cargo box would support a few more amps. I heard that the new...

    Should I buy 2021 RAM?

    Tex, I applaud your analysis. Although not technical, it was very unbiased and informative. I think that is truly what these blogs are all about. Dab

    Pavement Queen

    I do mild trails and mostly highway. I like the PW for all of it. It is like driving a living room! Well, one that can go anywhere. 2 hours from Windrock... 73,000 acres of off road adventures. I am 95% / 5%.

    New power wagon for me

    Me and my buddy used to own a '61 international. We bought it for $375 and called it "Babe" after Paul Bunyon's mythical blue ox. We used the truck to cut, haul and sell firewood. Maybe if you get Paul to come out and fell them trees, that beautiful blue truck of yours could haul 'em off...

    75th Anniversary Power Wagon for 2021

    Around 1989 my Dad was shocked at how cushy the 1986 Toyota 1/4 ton was compared to the "Battle Wagons" he knew as trucks. The Battle Wagons were likely the Power Wagons that he knew when he returned from the war. My 75th Anniversary PW is the most luxurious vehicle I have ever owned! Awesome...

    What did you say when you saw your truck for the first time?

    I yelled to the crowd gathered around staring at it in awe to get away from my truck! Really, it was what I had ordered and it was everything I expected and was hoping for; it was not a let down!

    TTU Someone, I am also in Nashville and just bought a 2021 75th Ann PW. I was just wondering if you wanted a great deal on the Rock Sliders/Steps... or knew anyone that might. I have to admit that my foot was too big and I am too old to get in the truck with these. I already traded for the...

    Power Wagon rebates/incentives

    I ordered a 75th Ann Power Wagon on November 13th, 2020 which listed at around $72,500. I ended up writing a check/out the door (incl. Tax. Tag, Title...) for around $67,000. I always have a Tread Lightly discount that costs $100 and saved $1,200! They gave me a $500 off and nothing more. I...

    2021 75th Anniversary PW Ordered

    I ordered my 75A PW on 11/13/20 and am picking it up at Kernersville, NC this Saturday (3 1/2 months). I ordered the Olive Green, but saw that they have a Go Mango on their website. I will check it out in person when I get there; I like the orange and the Anvil, but I think the OG is the color...

    Molten orange? Anybody have a photo?

    I had a 2011 Challenger back in the day that was "Toxic Orange"... like in the Challenger color earlier in the thread. Different vehicle for sure, but I got more compliments on that vehicle than anything I would have ever imagined. Sometimes two folks at the same gas station would wonder over...

    Aftermarket 75th Rims

    I believe that there are some places that will anodize aluminum. It is basically a chemical process that is done on extruded shapes for all kinds of stuff (aluminum window frames) and is quite permanent. Many places and these rings may be one of them will be clear anodized to protect the...

    Off road pages

    I have almost always had a 4x4 in the garage. I love going off-road. When I was a youngster, I would count on spending $200 everytime I went out because I didn't know what I was doing... shear an axle spline, have to re-pack bearings; best way to learn. I now own a 2019 Rubicon and have...

    What's better? 6.4L or the Cummins Diesel

    I have had both. I can pull anything with the 6.4 that I need to so I just ordered the 6.4 75A Power Wagon. I also live in Nashville which has 3 major interstates running through it and is thus a diesel town; fuel for the diesel is much more than gasoline. I also like the luck I have had with...
