My first question will be, I want the truck but do I really need it? I need my truck! I could get by with something smaller but 70% of the time I really use it for what its for.

Welcome to DF!! And by the way if you get it...can I borrow it for about 5 years or so?

one ? i had was if you could lock all 4 wheels in 4 high as well as 4 low. I know it has electronic lockers just asking if they worked in both functions. One more it really doesn't matter but what kind of gas mileage are ppl getting in the power wagon.

HEY MGDMIKE

most of the truck is want, but i can use it very well, i work with cattle and the 2500 works well, we have a dually that we use mostly but sometimes it's in use. Also i need something that is hard 2 get stuck in the mud. I really don't need a diesel in my everyday driver and with the gears I should be able 2 pull what i need 2.

With your needs I'd get it. I use to help out at my buddies and family farms up in North Dakota and we always needed that extra power for something or another. And the comfort level would be a plus as well!! I wish you all the luck man!

I love my '05 Power Wagon. Do I need it? Probably not. Did I want it? Hell yeah! Not too many on the road, so you get a lot of looks from those in regular Rams.
In 4 lo with both axles locked, that sucker will go through just about anything.
I did some hill climbing with four dudes in the truck, it climbed as if the hill wasn't even there.
The only downside is the long wheelbase, I gave the skidplates a workout for sure.
