Why were you looking at a Cummins? If that is what you need get it, don't be swayed by another shiny object on the lot. 2 completely different trucks and sound like you squirrelled. Doesn't make sense to trade a power wagon for another PW that just has a few aftermarket parts on it?
I get what you are saying, it’s sort of on point but not really.
I was looking at the Cummins because it was cheap-ish. My son wants me to get a Cummins and turn it into an overlander.
We have a 22 Cummins that I paid off when we sold our old house. It is our work truck, and a business write off though. I need a weekend warrior truck for personal use so that I’m not driving my write off to go camping, etc.
The 2013 PW that we have was bought with the intention of becoming an overlander/weekend warrior, but it is starting to have problems that I don’t want to spend money on.
I didn’t realize it when we bought the truck, but it belonged to an RV sales and was used for a lot of heavy towing (sometimes pretty far above the manufacturer’s specs).
The previous owner had accidentally left some personal items in the truck that we found after we bought it. I met with him and that is how I found out about the towing history.
The Prospector has pretty much everything that I wanted to do to our 2013, plus the 6.4l engine and less than half the miles on it. Given that it has lower idle hours and not a scratch on it, I’m guessing that it was a highway truck.
It’s $20,000 more than what I currently owe on the 2013, but it has everything I need and no engine & steering issues.
