Default power wagon parts on Laramie

I have an 07 2500 laramie, but wish I had bought the powewr wagon. The dealer told me they get 9 mpg on the hiway and convinced me I would not need the power wagon gear. well I got mislead and want to possibly buy some of the parts that make a pw what it is. Is this pssible? What is the mpg on one anyway, did I make the right choice getting a hemi 2500 in 3.73 config, or did I get screwd majorly? Thanks.

The powerwagon doesnt really have that much extra stuff on it besides fender flares, bigger tires and a winch on the front. What parts would you like to add?

get new gears. You should be happy you got solid front axel. You can make that truck better than the power wagon ever could be. Get a 8 inch lift. 37 inch tires. 4.56 gears. Transformer winch. fender flares.

F anf R loking diffs, elc swawbar dissconect, factory lift (after markets voisds warrnty), and its the real deal you know. I am glad though i don't have the 4.56 ratio, now because I i doin't hve off road all the timre like i used to, nd that was one if not th most driving fromce in my purchase choice. Just really frustrated, and thing about down sizzing, this truck is not as fun when you can't get biigerr tires and use em cause it costs so dang much!!

With the solid front axle, you have the luxury of building that thing up to what a Power Wagon is quite easily and even surpassing it with the use of aftermarket parts that surpass the capacity of the Mopar Parts in the PW. Will not, however be cheap...
