In my 1500 I hauled roughly 3000 lbs in the bed with no issues. I went slow left it in 4th and in tow haul. I was in a pinch with a job we were doing and the wrong material was brought out. I had to do it in a pinch.

I understand that but being comparing to a half ton is a joke lol, you can increase your payload with the proper product safely and as for towing as long as you stay under your vehicles GVWR you can haul what you want. I got the Power Wagon as it does everything I need and I don't like air ride suspension. Come live up here in the North and see how long it takes for air ride suspension to fail with all our elements .


I understand you dont like air suspension...just not sure why you are bringing it up in this thread. Does somebody have air suspension here?

I put bags on my power wagon and they work very well. But, my half ton ram has more payload than my power wagon. Just saying.

I had two pallets of Common red clay brick in the 8 foot bed of my '19 Ram 3500 Dually; about 7,000 pounds. Squatted, as you can see, maybe 3 inches but drove nice and stable.

Haaaaaaa, yea if you could fit an entire power wagon in the bed of your truck you would probably be fine. But that truck is a big difference compared to a power wagon...the payload is 1500ish or even much less.

I was just giving people options and Timbren is a very good one. Don't get you knickers in a knot lol

2200lbs in my 2018 1500 with 4/2 lift and 35" tires. Did probably 6 trips of 30 miles and ran 60mph without much issue. I definitely knew they were back there, but it did fine.

ive had a little over 3400 in my truck, just load er' down man, ive overloaded my truck so bad my springs permanently go the opposite direction now! But in all seriousness, im pretty sure your 2021 power wagon can comfortably have more in the back than my 200,000 mile 05 1500.
