Thanks, Robert. Thanks what I wanted to hear.

yes 35's will fit with no extra lift. i put 35x12.5x17 bfg mts on mine at 2000 mi. i just ordered the rancho 4" kit from 4wheel parts for 686 delivered with 4 rs9000 shocks. 37's will require a lift of at least 2" and wheel spacers. I have #2007 purchased 3/31/05.

I put 35" tires on my new 2006 Power Wagon and it just loves to burn dinosaurs. Have any of you had this problem? What is your average MPG and did it improve after break-in? The best I have seen in the first 650 miles is 10.5MPG.

I figured someone would have posted by now. I have the stock tires, getting 11.7 mpg;overhead says 12.2 mpg. I doubt this helps, just my.02

My overhead display seems to be right on. I've heard that the fuel milage should improve after the first 5000 miles. I hope so at $2.89 a gallon. City/10 Highway/10.5 [:'(]

Hello new here,


I have been ooogling over the power wagon for months now. My main concern is that I plow and I have heard that if you get a regular cab you cannot plow with it but if you get the quad cab you can if you remove the winch...

I was curious if anyone who had an '05 knew what the front axle was rated at and the rear axle? Also anyone heard anything on the truth to these snow plow myths?

How does everyone like the wagons? So far it seems to be good reviews, I am most likely headed to a dealer to pick one up soon enough.

Let me know what I need to know please, anyone seen the actual invoice on one?

Thanks guys

Owner's manual says no plows, period. It doesn't distinguish between QC or RC. Also, no bed campers.

I bet you could contact Kore Performance and tell them what you want to do and they may be able to make you some custom springs, or you could fit some diesel springs, but I'm sure it will ride a bit rougher.

Here's a picture of my new Power Wagon. I already have some "pinstripes" in the clear coat. No posers here...

With 2000 miles on my 06 PWQC, I am averageing 14 MPG at 60-65 MPH. When I get over 75 MPH it drops to down to around 11 MPG. With the 4:56 gears I am not complaining. The only time I am not smiling is when I am paying for gas. But with all the heads the PW turns, its a small price to pay. Even the Hummer guys show signs of defeat in the presence of the Power Wagon!
