I purchased my 2017 power wagon in February. Has 8,000 miles to date, and I have put through everything thing from swamp mud , red clay mud, sand, and 2' + water a few times. This is a overall good review of of the truck. Mine was a MSRP of $ 59900. I didn't want leather seats so jist added the options. Has everything this one has but leather seats and vented seats. I was able to get dealership to take off right at $5600 and then there was a $1300 ram box rebate and a $3500 standard rebate. So got a good $10,400 off the MSRP. I have have got it good and stuck a few times. I used the winch to free the truck. It could use some inprovement. On the size of the alternator. Two times under heavy winching I got a low voltage warning. Truck comes with a standard 180 amp, and there is a option for a 220 amp, and even a duel 220 amp. The larger alternator is only a $150 upgrade and I sure would have added if I would have known. Also the winch really should be a 15000lb with a standard 220amp alternator. For I have had that 12000 and the 180amp alternator give me some problems pulling the truck out when it was good and bottomed out in mud. Other than that I have owned 8 2500 Ram 4*4 since 2000 and I so enjoy driving this one.

@@itsNep_ I’m loving it man, I’ve taken it on some trails and it does awesome good clearance, awesome flex and it’ll creep through just about anything. It’s also my everyday driver . The gas mileage average for me is about 15.4 which isn’t too bad . Nice comfortable ride on anything but some back country roads lol but still isn’t that bad . The only upgrades I did was new rims and 35” tires to replace the 33” the 35s fit on nice with no rubbing at all and I’ve put a cold air intake on it cus I just do that with every vehicle lol . I definitely recommend it man . She’s slow tho computer shuts you off at 97 mph and she’s not as spunky as my 1500 sport was but she can still do a hell of a burn out

The payload and towing capacity kind of suck considering it's a heavy duty with a 6.4L V8. The Tradesman 2500 with the same engine has more than twice the payload capacity and around 7k more in max towing capacity. And for whatever reason the Laramie power wagon has even less towing at 8,810. I wonder why the capacity is so low? Maybe the rims and tires?
