Hey, the color thing was a joke. Check his old posts, I remembered him from before, he had a white PW for a week and sold it.

As to your origional question, Paul, I have heard of no PW specific issues for '07 but I haven't looked very hard either. If you look around this site you'll find links to TSB's, I just don't have the time to help in more detail these days.

I'm still happy with my '05, and don't plan on getting rid of it any time soon.

Just went looking around, this site doesn't seem to have any TSB info. for '07's.

The power wagon is a great truck and I have heard nothing but good....except the 9 miles to the gallon they get. Personally, if I had that much to spend on a truck, I would buy a 4x4 quad cab cummins and do your own lockers, winch, tires, bumpers etc. That way you will have a better drivetrain and all the cool stuff that comes with the PW.

Edit: Just went to dodges website and the 2007 quad cab shortbed, 4x4 manual 5.9 liter cummins SLT is $36,995. So you save roughly 9 grand over the PW if you pay full sticker price. For 9 grand you should be able to get most if not all the stuff the power wagon has from better after market companies.

deffinitely go with the dodge. especially if you pln to do off roading. if not, you are wasting your money, yeah they are sick but for the money, there are other options that have been stated.

honestly if you're looking for something for light offroading the dodge is ur choice but if you want some hardcore stuff then a full size truck is not your friend. look for a jeep or a toyota landcruiser or something.

power wagons are sick but honestly with the extra money those things cost you could get a 2500 hemi like TD has and not the power wagon and take that extra money leftover in mods that would make a rig that does more than a power wagon.
Yeah! With the money you save by going this route you will; 1) not be able to roll all of the cost of modifications into your trucks monthly payment (as this is already done for you in the price of a Power Wagon), 2) be without your truck for a few days while undergoing transformation, and 3) likely void the factory warranty on the axles (regearing and adding lockers) and suspension (two inch lift)

I say get a Power Wagon and go tear it up off-road right off of the showroom floor!

Undoubtedly you will have a more stout truck with the above set-up. You will end up though, with a truck that will not be as capable off-road compared with a Power Wagon. With the extra 1,000 pounds (plus or minus) of the Cummins engine you are more likely to sink the truck in thick mud or loose sand and have trouble climbing seriously sloped hills if the terrain is soft. Oh, and then there is that voided factory warranty again.

Good luck!
