Anyone see the new05 Dodge Powerwagon?
Its got the Hemi, electric locking front and rear differentials, a class-exclusive electronic disconnecting front sway bar, a custom-built Warn 12,000-lb. winch, 4.56 gears, 33" BFG A/T's on 17" rims, and Bilstein monotube high-pressure gas shock absorbers. It boasts best-in-class wheel articulation with new suspension designs. The front suspension uses a solid front axle with coil spring design, while the rear features a new single stage leaf design and uses unique, softer spring settings. LOOKS AWSOME!!!!!!!! I want one!

No Cummins[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] The Hemi is the only engine available for it. You can get a 6 speed though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Hopefully the electronic lockers aren't like the ones in the H2...they shut off over 30MPH...doesn't work to well at Pismo.

Ya, too bad there's no Cummins. The Truck Trend article gave it quite a nice review

PADZZ... how do you like your Cummings, any disslikes? That looks like about a 36ft trailer, maybe about 11K loaded ([img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] a total shot in the dark, am I close?) How does it pull up hill? Do you have the 600 ft-lb Cummings or is it an early 04? What kind of fuel milage do you get? How fast do the wings of an Africa humming-bird move? Thanks

EAB...it's the 555 6 spd. I also have an Edge box to put it at about 700 ft lbs. Tows awesome. Had an auto before that (also in my gallery) it doesn't touch the 6spd.
The toy hauler is about 11K lbs loaded, bit it's only a 28'. Must be the angle of the shot. Didn't want to go over 30' because of parking at my house and I go in some pretty rough, remote places.

Ya, the PW is what the truck market needs. A real off-road vehicle hasn't been offered for a long time. Unless you're a Heep fan.
