As stated, you don't need 4x4 until you do and there are plenty around to help. The next question should be whether or not you need a dually for towing stability?
What do I know, I have a Power Wagon and it don't care.:cool:
16 Power Wagon with big ol snot knocker STT Pro tires. Just made a trip from NC to Northern Michigan. If I keep it under 70 on flat land I get 14.5 by the computer. At 55 I was getting as high as 15.
Kicking around local it stays around 12.5-14 depending on what I'm doing.
If I run over 70 it...
I put the OEM in my 16PW. As mentioned the under dash mounting is a PIA, I ended up using nylon washers for vibration isolation and pop riveting that guy in place instead of messing around with the screws washers and nuts.
It's been perfect for the last going on 7 years and super clean factory...
16 PW, 35" Cooper STT knobbies, 80K miles, owned it since birth. Stay under 70 (69 mph to be safe) I get as high as 17mpg on the highway 12-13 kicking around town.
You bought a huge truck with a huge engine, if you can't pay don't play.
Yeah, I had em on my 95 and 99 Dodge 4x4 and they looked great. Getting ready to re-shoe the 16 Power Wagon and am really leaning to get some again.
I almost went whites out with these STT PROs but my son talked me out of it.
Best advice I have on improving mileage (I get 12.5-13 kicking around town, 14-16 hwy) is stay out of the pedal. It's an easy truck to roll slo with. We have a 20mpg limit in the local small towns around here. I idle through at 18 without touching the right pedal just fine. Visualize yourself...
Unfortunately in NC they go after both vehicles. It's called pre-arranged racing and needs nothing more than a nod. Oddly enough it's a steeper conviction than passing a stopped school bus. NC really frowns on street racing.
The only thing I don't love about my PW is how quiet it is. 392 hemi...
Absolutely my take on this. I love rolling along at 69 in my yellow PW and waving at the pretty girlfriends as they eyeball a beautiful truck hoping to see a hot guy at the wheel. Most of the time they are a little disappointed seeing the driver LOL.
Not so much what I said. My wife looked at it and said you need to buy that and get rid of that! Pointing at my 99 quad cab 4x4 which I lovingly named big blu.
I swear, I had my heart in my throat as I drove big blu to the dealer for the trade. I loved that truck...well, truth be told I love the...
Funny story behind mine. A buddy showed up at the house with a brand new Tradesman 2500 and bragged about the smokin deal he got. My wife looked at his truck and then pointed at my 99 1500 Quadcab and said "You need to get rid of that and get one of those!", true quote! He was rifling through...
