I am in the market for a newer truck, and here is where my problem comes in I'm stuck in between two trucks. Both are 2012 trucks, quad cabs, roughly the same options. Heres where the problems come in. Ones got the 6.7 cummins, the other is a Power Wagon

Can you guys give me the pro's/con's of both these vehicles?

If dodge would just offer a cummins in the Power Wagon, this wouldnt even be an issue!!!

 

The PW is made for hardcore offroading, not sinking to the bottom of the mudpit . The weight of the CTD is not your friend here. If the diesel is what you're looking for, nothing a mild lift can't take care of and it'll have the appearance you're looking for.

 

It depends on what you're looking to do with the truck. If you'll be hauling/towing, the diesel is the way to go. If however you're looking to off-road (or just want the looks), and won't be towing trailers and stuff, then get the PW.

 

lol sorry guys, I guess I should have listed my needs as well. I ocassionally pull my travel trailer around, but for the most part my towing needs consist of pulling the occasional semi around or getting one unstuck. I also carry roughly 500 lbs of tools with me at all times, plus various truck parts.

Now I'm not a hard core off-roader, but I figure I spend about 30%-35% of my time off the road. And before you all bring milage into the picture, just about anything gets better milage than my current ride (9.5mpg average)

so what do you all think?

 

Ctd ftw.

 

Unless you're driving or more importantly towing a lot of miles, I'd buy the PW which will have enough grunt to move some weight around. Will do the job and be more fun to get out on the trails. Since you're looking at 3/4tons, I'm assuming this isn't for any commercial use where you'd need more than the 1500# payload on the PW which would make towing anything across the scales with your tools along just about impossible
