Hi All,
New here but have found a lot of helpful information on this forum so thanks all for that. I have a question about the power wagon chassis vs the normal 2500 chassis, and a question about towing numbers.
I currently have a 2020 ram rebel with the 5.7L crew cab rated to tow 11,300 lbs. I know the power wagon technically tows less, limited to 10,600 lbs. The rear suspension on the Rebel seems to actually be softer than power wagon after doing a lot of research, and when I hook up my 7500 lb travel trailer the squat is nothing less than horrendous. I have seen power wagons hooked with 9k+ lbs (and more tongue weight) and the squat is noticeable but not nearly as bad. My point in saying this is that if the rebel has a very similar off-road suspension in the rear to the power wagon, why does the wagon tow less? The only conclusion I can come to is that the power wagon is built on the same chassis as the rebel, but the other 2500’s are built on a beefier chassis? Can someone confirm? If the power wagon was built on a normal 2500 chassis, I can still see how and why it tows less than a normal 2500 because of the off-road suspension but it no way should it be only limited to 1500 lbs payload and 10.6k towing. Thanks all!
