I think they should have their own section like the CTD's.
I agree...
The 3G Power Wagons deserve their own sub-forum.
Then we can skip all the 1500 street weeniebs.

The power wagon in the SUV section I think is refering to the old ram wagon. The power wagons are not that different from the QCSB Hemi 4x4. Other than a winch, lockers, and a bit bigger tires. There are not enough people to justify opening a new sub-forum.
It's a quite bit more than that, although those are the big points. Don't forget the completely redesigned spring rates and bilstein high pressure off-road shocks. Theymake the Power Wagon a completely different off-road animal compared to a stock QCSB. And lets not forget the AAM axles and shafts that are an entire class above the stock QCSB - another night and day difference between thetrucks. Oh yea, the internal bead lock rims that are unique to the Power Wagon - a small detail....until the Power Wagon wheels past that stock QCSB thats sitting on its rim next to a rock. And lets not forget the 4.56 gears in those AAM axles in the rear, skid plates and under body protection. Oh yea, that's right, they also redesigned and beefed up the drive shaft to deal with the increased speed and rotational torque generated by the 4.56 gears. And jeez, let's not go and understate the usefulness of the electronic disconnectingsway bar that gives the Power Wagon a Ramp Travel Index of 655!!Go and compare thatwith some other trucks and let us know whatyou find.

Not that different from the QCSB? That's true if you wish to ignore the fact that there isn't an ounce of similarity between the trucks when it comes to off-road ability. In fact, it's tough to come up with ways to improve this truck....Enough said!!

Why not let them in. We have peeps that are ctd owners. The section is third gen, so they qualify too.

3rd gen Power Wagons belong in this section. They are V8 powered 3rd Gens.

That is like saying we need a Big Horn section.

Yes, I sure can see where you might think this is not a Ram

It's factory debadged.... [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

I guess the SRT-10 isn't a Ram either...[sm=bangbang.gif]

Every piece of literature produced by DCM calls it a Ram Power Wagon, including the window sticker.
