I feel your pain. I'm running 37's on my 2500 Power Wagon and in addition the factory bottle jack have both the 3 ton Uni-Jack/ Stand and a Hi-Lift Extreme 60" (with the required accessories for the off-road base and to lift from the wheel, tow hook and steel bumpers. I learned the hard way...- MantaRay67

Bed Topper for Rambox
I found a Russian shop on YouTube that created this amazing solution. I sent a query on whether they could export one but they said they weren't sure about shipping to the US. They had to import the ARE top and then modify it! Not sure if they can re-export.- MantaRay67

Power Wagon Towing - real life experience
I've only added Timbren Bump Stops to address the squat and I tow a 6000 lbs 26' travel trailer (~7000 lbs. loaded & wet). The PW Drivetrain tows like there's nothing there. With the 37's on factory 4.10 gears (5.13 recommended for 37s) I still get pretty bad mileage with 10 around town and 8.5...- MantaRay67

Which tires?
I'm running 37" Nitto Ridge Grappler 37x13.50R17LT on 17" Fuel Rims Model D560 Vapor on my '21 Power Wagon. They impact fuel economy, perform well, and are quiet on the highway and in the wet. They are beasts off-road. My last vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser 100 was set up for overlanding with...- MantaRay67

Power wagon
Try calling Warn and see what they have to say. [email protected] or 800-543-9276 Explain what Ram is doing and I'm sure they won't like it. I'm willing to wager they'll make it right! They have an authorized Service Center in Orlando Florida Powertrain 4455 Dardanelle Dr Orlando, FL 32808...- MantaRay67

Transfer Flow replacement tank for the 6.4 gas engine - coming soon? We are close, need your assistance....
I just parroted the same request! More interest will solidify them moving forward. 40 (+10) or 50 gal (+20) would be worth the $1K+ price tag. I also carry two additional 5 gal cans due to the lack of range (especially while towing) and fueling generators.- MantaRay67

Buying a power wagon just because it’s bad @$$
You, Sir, have asked the $64,000 question and answered it all in the same post. I replaced a Land Cruiser 100 Series because the off-road suspension was just too soft and the 4.7L V-8 too anemic for towing. The wife's idea of roughing it is A/C and Hot Shower, and not a rooftop tent... so we've...- MantaRay67

Power wagon towing
I tow a 26' travel trailer and replaced my factory bump stops with Timbren progressives that eliminated my squat but stiffened up the rear ride a bit at a fraction of an airbag setup.- MantaRay67

2016 AEV Prospector at a dealer near me
I DO NOT AGREE! The AEV upgrades do not compare to what an enthusiast can do in the driveway. They are a holistic capability advancement, which is why you get highway on-road impression that you had with your test drive. I suggest you call AEV and get your questions answered. Their customer...- MantaRay67

Tire Pressure Sensors
Another option is the AEV ProCal SNAP for the 5th RAM HD Trucks. It's not cheap at $225, but it's American made and a proven AEV product backed by their instructions, and tech support. It doesn't necessarily do everything that the other suggestions will, but it will accomplish what you want to...- MantaRay67

No Jack in my truck
My Power Wagon is on 37" tires. In addition to the factory jack, safe and sound in its spot, I carry one of these laid on top of my 5th spare in the bed. Lift, lock, and level with the Powerbuilt 3-Ton All-in-One Jack. This all-in-one jack looks like a jack stand but lifts like a bottle jack...- MantaRay67
