Honestly I think that’s wrong, somewhere a button got crossed and yours is pulling capacities for your truck before the PW package was factored in. There’s no way in hell that a PW suspension can hold 3,100 lbs of weight and stay level. It just can’t.
did it come with a winch, front and rear lockers and sb disconnect? if so you have a one of a kind PW. I would love to know what the tags on your coils say?
It didn't come with anything pw related besides the sticker on the tailgate. My guess is they just slapped the sticker on a 3/4 ton tradesman jacked up the price and called it a tradesman pw
I looked up the rear coils and they're actual 3/4 ton coils. Now it sits the same as a 3/4 ton. The previous owner had a leveling kit with a 2" rear spacer but I took that out so I didn't need as much of a drop for our camper.
back in the day any dodge truck was referred to as a power wagon. Back when men were men and cut big trees down every chance they got lol.This is hilarious. Because just yesterday i ran into two people.
First guy came up to me while i was pumping gas. Told me i had a nice truck. Then proceeded to ask why i didnt get it with the Cummins. i told him the PW doesnt have this option. He was adamant it did, and that his dealer had priced him out for one.
Second guy said approached me while i was at CVS. Got talking to him for a while in the parking lot. Eventually ended up in kind of the same situation.. Apart from this guy had his truck in the lot.
So for 20 minutes this guy was explaining to my simple mind that he got a PW with the cummins in it, and "It was a beast off road". So i checked it out.... no winch, no swaybar disconnect. but did have the Bilstein shocks.
I honestly didnt have the heart to point it out.. but im pretty sure his dealer gave him the run around, and sold him a 2500 tradesman with OFF ROAD package under the guise of it being a power wagon.
I felt sorry for the guy. He was talking his truck up so much, and the whole time im just thinking.... but it isnt a power wagon dude..
No wonder he looked at me like a deer in headlights when i started talking about having locking front and rear diffs. i guess most people just dont do their research.

That's even weirder, because Ram wouldn't decode it as a 2500 Tradesman Power Wagon, it would just say tradesman. Mind sharing your VIN with me in PM so I can pull a window sticker? I'm genuinely curious as to what kind of truck you have lolIt didn't come with anything pw related besides the sticker on the tailgate.

dang.
I am going to say the sunroof adds a bunch of weight and the ramboxes. the Subwoofer is not all that heavy.2017, Level 1 with sunroof, Alpine stereo and Ramboxes. Must be the subwoofer??
Regular 3/4 tons have coils too. Just with a higher spring weightI have a cap about 350 lbs it helps with the I sometimes hahah my old quad without the topper but I us a riser to raise the quad to close the tailgate. add a trailer with a sidexside and things got interesting.the coil springs are great for articulating but not so much for heavy loads hence coils for pw and leafs for regular 3/4 tons .same axels sans lockers I believe use airbags maybe for more stability
Your truck is a Tradesman with a PowerWagon trim package. Along the same lines my Outdoorsman has the BigHorn package but when the build sheet is looked up it shows it's a SLT.As confirmed by IRSmart my truck is just a basic tradesman not sure why on rams site is says powerwagon.
No it’s not, not in his case. I am familiar with the Tradesman with the Power Wagon package. His is not that. It’s just a straight up tradesman. He doesn’t have winch, lockers, articulink, 4.10’s, any of it. His has 3.73’s and an electronic shift transfer case. Not a PW.Your truck is a Tradesman with a PowerWagon trim package.
