2021 build

[Mace Peveler]

The 2021 build site is up on the Ram website. FYI

 

[Overlander]

Kind of. They don't have the 75th package up yet. Just the same things as the 2020 but with the electronic T-case button option and the Olive Green color.

 

[Mace Peveler]

Yep. I was looking for the orange, but no luck.

aaahhhhh com'on guys it's my turn, (Site is slow and unresponsive at times, must have a lot of traffic currently)

 

[IRSmart]

I don’t think I’d “upgrade” to the electronic transfer case, because isn’t that the BW case that everybody hates?

 

[olyelr]

I wasnt aware the newest wagons had one. Its a completely different case altogether, or just shifted electronically now?

 

[Overlander]

The button is now an option on the Ram build page for all Power Wagons. It's mandatory on the 75th Aniv package as that truck has the Laramie interior and center console (it's a 5 seat truck).

I also tried a 2021 PW build and notice that the 75th Anniversary isn't listed (yet). Hopefully it will be soon...along with the orange that's been mentioned above.

I'm going to get a 2021 PW but was going to wait until next summer. Ordering an off road square drop trailer early next year too.

My buddy ordered his 2021 yesterday dealer offered orange as a color option to him he picked olive green had one on the lot sold. He has a 75 TH anniversary model on order said it was white. Told us about 2 month delivery for his truck.

 

[Jesse Lackman]

Dealer told us in August when we ordered our 2020 that they have options available that aren't listed, or different, than what's on the web site builder. We ordered the trailer camera wiring option at the dealer and it wasn't on the web site builder at the time.

On the shift on the fly transfer case I have to wonder if it's like the one the TRX uses. That one seems to have a automatic clutch which can vary the power to the front axel from 0% to 50% in the TRX, in the automatic mode, and 50% in 4H and 4L modes.

It might be just on-off in the power wagon.

 

[Overlander]

As I understand it, the PW shares the same t-case across the 2500 line. The lever was more of an iconic hold over that appealed to the 'rugged' truck crowd. It would be cool if we got something special but I don't think that's the case.

Some will miss the lever because of the risk of electronic failing. Electronic 4WD engagement is not new and as long as it's regularly exercised it should be a reliable feature. I am greatly looking forward to a true center console for the storage space.

Transfer case is a BW. There is NO “auto” 4 WD option on a 2500. It’s 4WD HI, 4 WD LO, 2 WD. Electronic shift works fine.....

So same case, just shifts electronically?

 

[392DevilDog]

Our transfer cases have shifted electronically for years

I am very confused.

Me too. Because mine goes from the floor shifter to a rod then to the tcase. Not sure where the electronics come into play. Sure, there is for the cad on the axle, but wheres the electronics for the case then?

 

[Grand Mesa]

Prior to the 2021 model year the Ram Power Wagon's transfer case was a mechanical manual floor shifter.

 

[Overlander]

Standard is still a lever for the 2021 model year. They added the electronic as an option to support the 75th Aniv package with has the Laramie interior with true buckets and a full center console (5 seat truck).

 

[donivan]

I like the manual lever plus I need a 6 seater every once in a while. It's nice to have the option though.

How are you guys finding this stuff out...i cant find any info on it.

 

[Mace Peveler]

The electronic knob shifter is listed as an option on the RAM build site for 2021 Power Wagon. Don't know where they're coming up with the Laramie package for the Anniversary model as that option is not yet on the build site.
