Default Power wagon??

Anybody on here ever own, or currently own a newer power wagon?? Just want to know your thoughts.

I currently have an 05 2500slt, 5.7, nv4500 4x4 QC, 4.10s with 80,600 miles. All stock. Looking to upgrade. Can't justify a diesel, I don't tow enough. But I do need something to pull a 30' triaxle enclosed car trailer a couple times a year.

Average price I've seen is around $40,000, give or take about 2Gs for mileage and year, Used.

Might go new, I get incentives through my employer.
Just wanted to do a little research, not really buying until late this year, early next year.

Motor Trend has one in their long term test fleet, and they LOVE it. Ram also won their 2019 truck of the year award, and it also won their 'work truck' competition. I don't think you can go wrong with a new Dodge, and the power wagon is a beast. (gas mileage sucks though. I think they average a bit over 10mpg...... but, that's in Los Angeles traffic too.....)

Oh nice. Yeah I think I'm just gonna have get one lol. They seem rare, but I've seen them on the road. Hopefully I can catch an owner while he's out of it, and ask how he likes it.

I currently get about 12-15 with mine mixed driving. The 4.10 ratio helps allot. I get about 15-17 on the interstate pulling a 6x12 utility trailer with two motorcycles. Trailer and both bikes is about 1,500# give or take. 500 for the trailer and about 500 per bike. Plus a truck full lol. I guess the super chips gas saver works lol.
