I like the last one the most, probably because of the 37s and it’s a 2016 with blacked out bumpers and grill. I’m just partial to the crosshairs grills

I actually like the first one because it’s an 18 which means a better interest rate for me lol. And don’t the 18s have apple CarPlay? That would be a big plus for me as well. I’m partial to the crosshairs grill too. The red accents in the grill was one of the first things my wife noticed on the one I’m looking at. I don’t think I’d like 37s on my DD.

It’s amazing how when a power wagon owner is trying to sell their own trucks, they’re worth a gold mine, but when they’re looking to buy one, they’re overpriced smh

Are you speaking of people that come to your dealership or people in the thread?

I would try and get a deal done over the phone before traveling anywhere. Its worth a shoot. Only a phone call away you know?

Power Wagon owners online. I’m a member of a few Facebook groups and here. Just seems like whenever someone’s trying to sell one, they’re worth a fortune and their weight in gold. But whenever someone tries to buy one, those rules get thrown out and everything’s overpriced. Just an observation in hypocrisy, that’s all.

Yeah, I sent them an email. If we can come to a deal where I just have to go over there and say yes or no that would be ideal. I just need to find out the logistics of paying the tax and everything here in Illinois

Why do you say that? They look right to me? I’m pretty sure they are factory steps

The running boards are a factory option on the 18s. Funny thing is they are on backwards and the reason I know this is because I removed mine and later put them back on until I realized the curved in was facing rearward. I look at pictures when I first bought my truck they were on backwards. Oh well you live and learn. It does appear in the pictures of the truck OP is looking at they are on backwards. That’s a 20 min fix though.

Unless something changed with the later models my 2016 PW didn't have an option for factory steps. Neither did the 2017 PW...

The bug deflector might not be a factory option either.

Yes, they did. Your year too. And those boards are not backwards.

Dang, I fell that old "Believe it or not" trick once again. Thanks for setting the record straight.

Per the July 10th, 2017 article...

"Believe it or not, running boards aren't even an option on the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon, and when your heavy-duty pickup boasts 14.3 inches of ground clearance and an additional foot or more just to reach the floor of the interior unless you've got the legs of a basketball player or runway model, you're going to want to have running boards."

Nope, definitely an option, and a standalone one at that. It’s hard to tell based on the low res photos, but if those aren’t the OEM boards, they’re a very close aftermarket replica.

I’m looking at this PW at a local dealer

https://www.samlemanford.com/invent...power-wagon-4wd-4d-crew-cab-3c6tr5ej4gg260464

It’s got Ramboxes, a bed cover, and $2500ish in aftermarket rims and tires.

Price works out to between $33.5k and 35.5k depending on how you value my trade

Does this seem like a reasonable deal?

I think is a little high in terms of pricing for mileage. have same year, same model, and only had 15,000 upon purchasing for pretty much same price.

I just put my running boards on this weekend.
The instructions show that the curve faces the front of the vehicle - and the grips on the step are way too far back on the rear door. It's an easy 30 minute fix, just have to unbolt 12 bolts on each side.

the curve faces forward on the truck - if you look closely it just looks off.
