Thinking about pulling the trigger on this beast...

[Grand Mesa]

Off the subject...I live near the closest tiniest of town of Mesa, Colorado. Sorry, I already had my neighbor who lives on just 10 acres come by due to he saw my daily bon fires burning during last Spring. I saved several cords of wood, but then I got lazy due to having to stack all of it. I don't have a fireplace, but a pellet stove and propane furnace. Pretty much nearly off the grid due to there is nothing much, but summer season cabins beyond my property. So my burning of stumps and logs fires were huge (20 feet diameter). My neighbor informed me of the Mesa folks whom live nearby in poverty and require firewood during the winter for their heat. Next Fall during open burning season I will save any log worthy of heating their homes. Too bad that my Power Wagon is way too high for my ranch chores for loading the wood and traveling through some tight steep spaces on my land. I use a vintage Chevrolet LUV with rusted out floorboards that I have owned for 40 years for that work. Even though I am over 6 feet in height the Power Wagon is useless for easy loading into the bed over the sides walls. For ranch chores bigger isn't always better. The Power Wagon winch though for pulling and moving huge logs is unbeatable.

Update:
I started the process. Placed a call to the dealership and spoke, at length, to the dealer. I am working on the logistics and the actual end cost of the new truck, along with taking pictures of my current truck for them to appraise. I made sure to tell him i dont NEED their vehicle, just want it...and I'm looking to get their best deal the first time.

Unless you really want that green one. Not sure why you would go though the expense of getting one from Texas. Here a low option PW located in PA.

I'm sure there is more out there.

Well,
#1 it’s white not green so it won’t match the challenger.
#2 there’s not a real picture of the one in your link
#3 price
#4 I’ll think of something later...

I'll ask. What makes one a real PW vs a fake. I have a 2015. The top line of my window sticker says something like 2015 Power Wagon Laramie.... Then when it starts the build, the base is a Laramie and the power wagon is a $8k ish option. Is mine fake?

straight off the ramtrucks website these are the highlighted features of the 2018 powerwagon

• Electronically Disconnecting Front Stabilizer Bar
• Electronically Locking Front and Rear Axles
• 12,000-Pound Electronic WARN® Winch with 90-Foot Cable
• 33-Inch Goodyear All-Terrain Tires

• Bilstein® Gas-Charged Monotube Shocks
• Hill Descent Control
• Most Capable Off-Road Full-Size Pickups

the slime green truck originally looked at by OP was a tradesman with powerwagon addons

 

[boxofrokx]

I'm not sure what your saying.
According to the window sticker, it has the features you have listed. https://www.chrysler.com/hostd/windowsticker/getWindowStickerPdf.do?vin=3C6TR5CJ9JG172925
I still don't see what makes this one a fake and another a real.
I have a Laramie with a $8k power wagon option package. Is mine Fake?

Since the "Most Capable Off-Road Full-Size Pickups" is subjective, I googled searched, "most capable off road pickup" to find out whom or what actually determined this. There's a recent article listed of the 9 most "most impressive" off road SUV and pickups, but unfortunately I found no first page search listing on "most capable".

I guess what I mean is there’s no “fake” power wagon, but the “real” power wagons in my opinion at the ones that have the decals on the side. Which either way doesn’t mean squat haha it’s all in what you paid for, and you paid for the power wagon features so it’s a real power wagon

No it’s probably the real one. There’s 2 types:

1- Tradesman base has a lesser interior package and graphics details warn power wagon winch is an option

2- is a Laramie based and has the premium interior and graphics along with a slightly upgraded suspension and a few other goodies. Eaten winch is included along with a better quality winch lead line.

Edit: the Power Wagon seats on the 17/18 have a cloth seats with a tire tread design also heated n cooled

There's also a 1/16 Dodge Ram Power Wagon for a lot less of a price than my 2016 Power Wagon Tradesman.

This one has the decals on the side, therefore, it is a "real" Power Wagon!

If it's got the PW package. It's a PW.
PoBoy version or not they are both capable.
My 16 PoBoy version has all the bling my 99 pimped 1500 had back then plus a ton more off road capability.
Aint gonna hang my head a bit and you won't either when you ride around in it!
