*CORRECTION* The Tradesman trim can get the Power Wagon package - you don’t have to get the actual “Power Wagon” trim level to get the off road goodies. Also, this Tremor DOES have the cab mounted bed camera. My bad! Obviously this is a 1 Ton and a 3/4 Ton - they are what were provided, but keep in mind the towing for the F-250 w/Tremor pkg stays the same. Thanks for watching!
I saw a video a few weeks ago showing Ford was finally working on their interior. Ford owners will have something that is nicer inside...so they're much more comfy while waiting on a tow truck🤣
@@blindsey8234 Sure, on the redesign. This interior is based on 5 year truck design, still better than the new Chevy interiors. To the point Chevy is doing an emergency interior update on their all-new Silverados.
Agreed, from my experience and especially those I know that use/abuse their trucks, it's Ford it all the way. The TRX has upped the game in that genre so I'll give Dodge credit in that department. But of course you know Ford's not going to let that slide and I'm sure the next generation will just go back to advantage Raptor. But of these two that Tremor is absolutely badass!
I have the F350 tremor diesel. Had the power wagon prior. Ford is superior in 90 percent of any off road application and can get all your gear such as a tow BeHIND RV and atvs, side by side’s without screaming the gas engines. I have begged ram for 20 years to put a diesel in the power wagon. AEV builds a nice diesel similar to the power wagon. The Ford diesel tremor is a BAD ASS machine.
I noticed that he felt that the ford was faster, I have personally raced a f350 with the new 7.3, in my 2019 ram 2500 and won. Ram leaves the line alot harder. But I did have the advantage of 4.10 rears vs. his 3.73
Company I worked for had too many issues with the 6.4 Hemi, that being said, there's no way that I'd spend my own money on a Ram pickup with that engine.
I’d take the Ford, but the Ram is a nice truck too. I’ve owned a couple Ford and Dodge trucks and the Fords seem to hold up better and have less issues. That’s just my personal experience though. Both beautiful trucks!
ram is king I wish you would've made a bigger deal about the pw having front and rear lockers and disconnecting sway bar like you did with its payload and tow cap.
I have the Power Wagon. I had the Ford. The Ford was good but the Power Wagon is great-for what I actually use the truck for. There is just no contest off road. For the things I tow, the Ram works for me, and I have towed over 12,000 lbs several times (Sand, Sod,Rock). I do recommend putting 35's or 37's on the Ram. One final observation. I think the Ram is more comfortable driving long distances than the Ford. But they are both well made trucks and I believe you would be happy with either one on or off road.
The difference in interior finish is stark. Ram put a lot more effort with this and it shows. Granted, not a big deal to some but if I’m sitting in there I’ll take the Ram.
Great video…but the Ford for the overall money and what 99% of buyers are going to use it for…towing, off-road capability and just plan bad ass…Tremor hands down
Great review/comparison thanks! I love how you brought up the port injection on the V-8‘s as its a far superior design. I went PW for the off road features and softer suspension because I don’t need the towing. 10k lbs is plenty and I’d have NO PROBLEM pushing it all the way to 10k lbs. Most comfortable driving and luxurious vehicle I’ve ever owned. Keeping it forever
Why get a 7,000lb truck with awful mileage that only tows 10k lbs ? Genuinely curious I feel like people step up to trucks this big for hauling or towing. Otherwise why would you get a truck with 16mpg. There’s the Ranger, Tacoma and colorado which all have capable off road models. Or even Raptor leave any other truck in the dust off road. If you don’t care about towing seems like a waste
@@CoyoteFTW Im guessing youre a woman. Thats not meant to be a slight. If youre a man, and dont understand that guys like big trucks, then I dont know what to tell you.
I like the vid but he was obviously siding more for the Ford, notice when the Ford had something the RAM did not he would mention it but burly did for the ram
I wasn’t siding with anyone and have no reason to. The Ram is the obvious one for off road and the Ford for truck duty. My apologies if it came off as me siding with one but thanks for watching!
If the ram came with 35's it would hands down be the better off-roader but luckily that is an easy fix so ram would be my choice. The lack of towing is a bit of a downer but luckily for me I don't really tow over 10k so it works!
The power Wagon is the Grandfather to all full size 4x4 trucks. Early Ford and G.M's used New Process gear for their transfer cases and transmissions. Chrysler owned New Process and New Venture Gear. New Venture a joint with G.M. Muncie plant.
The Tremor package is nothing more than a budget 2” lift and 35” tires... It’s an overpriced appearance package. Nothing else separates it from a regular Super Duty. Still has the same stiff HD suspension, no front locker, no electric sway bar disconnect, ect.
@@jaysonsorensen594 The SD Tremor also has additional driving modes and a beefier "rear end" (at least compared to a 250 SD) and bigger tires - but still stuck with 18 inch wheels. Many argue that the elements that are useful for "off-roading" (like the drive modes) are worth the incremental price for them.
Good vid. I've never had anyone geek out over my vehicle as I've had over my 21, 75thA power wagon. Not a chick magnet, but definitely gets respect everywhere guys exist.
understand the comparison, but these are not competing against each other. like a raptor vs fx4 f150. raptor/powerwagon are purpose built for offroad that can also do some towing/payload. tremor or 2500 equivalient are primarily 3/4 pickups with full towing and payload capacity, but with offroad package for mainly looks but offers a little bit of offroad benefit.
Both are meannn looking trucks. Fords interior loses me until they update. I have a 19 PW and i look forward to driving everytime i gotta go anywhere. Such a beast and beautiful truck. Tremor especially in black is super dope tho too
Pfft, says you. I don't want my truck looking like the next trendy refrigerator door or whatever it is they're doing with that goofy iPad wannabe. Especially since they can't get the software to work right, lol.
Power wagon needs bigger tires. If I wanted for more towing/hauling, I would get the Ford, but for just most driving and using everyday I think the Ram.
Love them both and the ‘22s have improvements for each. I’m gonna tow in the future so I’d opt for the Ford with the power stroke. It’s a shame that the Ram PW won’t be getting a Cummins. That would have factored in my decision. Good video. 👍
I do valet ,the fords just feels like a massive truck when driving long ass wheelbase and the front end feels like I’m about to hit everything and I drive a Vic . Gotten used to it for the most part. Rams are more comfortable and better interior but ford looks better exterior wise
ford tremor all day until you open the door and sit down and see the dollarama quality of the interior, dash and screen. the interior of the dodge is what sold me and in the end it comes down to who you want to impress.... other people when you drive by or yourself and in this case it is myself because i dont feel ripped off when i sit in the drivers seat and fiddle with my screen.
@kevin "prelim phenom" lee not really , miss out on comestic on the outside. Alot of cosmetic though. Plus the interior looks like its from 2002 compared to the actual power wagon high end speaker systems, display 12 or 8in and much much more. Plus the tradesman w/ PW package is around what ? 52- 55k MSRP? The real PW all done up your around 65k MSRP . For another 10k your getting a way way more badass truck. Thats just my take on it.
I have a badass Tradesman PW, and it’s used as a truck is designed to be used. I hunt, fish, overland, haul wood and tow a off road camping trailer all over Alaska. I don’t see the added benefit of all the extra tech, leather, sunroof, etc when looking at the true uses a PW was designed for (just my opinion, to each his own my friends). If you look at the history of the PW, the Tradesman is actually much closer to the original intent than the Laramie. Both are just as capable, just the interior and cosmetics are different, which gives you choices. I upgraded my audio system, all lighting, brakes, 35 in Toyo AT 3’s, sliders, Line X pro in the bed/bumpers/ lower body panels , cold air intake, exhaust, and made some performance mods with the money I saved, so for me, it was the right way to go. Either way, the PW holds it’s own against anything else on the market when it comes to capability, it is the best rig going IMO. Happy motoring, get out there and get after it!😎👍
A solid review, but there are major points missed. The review would be even better if the off road capabilities are compared. Both vehicles are designed for off road conditions, so why not gear the review for it? Get them off the pavement and show what they can do. Talk more about gearing, suspension travel and articulation, etc., the meaty stuff! Thanks for the review!
Very informative, nice shots and editing, good content overall ... last little bit is not looking like you just rolled out of bed. You're one key lanyard and hoody away from the college kid sleepwalking to his first morning class.
The mirrors on a Ram tip Up and out for towing. And my personal opinion since I have owned both is the Ram mirrors are better. I like a taller mirror for towing.
They're both American Branded (say branded, as the majority of parts aren't even American made) factory pieces of shit. so it pretty much comes down to which one you want to literally waste your money on.
The RAM 6.4L is JUNK...Have a fleet of them and they stay at the dealership more than they stay on the road...coolant leaks, exhaust manifold leaks causing the dealership to have to pull the heads off at $4000 a pop, mufflers coming apart internally
Small thing to most - but a determining factor for me - is the lack of the 40/console/40 front seat in the Ram. I seriously considered the Power Wagon last summer but went with a Raptor and it really did come down to that. Also looked at the Rebel but - other than the nicer interior (with the 12 pkg to eliminate some of that red) the Raptor was the better choice. Nice trucks though. Can’t go wrong with either of them IMO.
Just a friendly reminder: If you drive vehicles off road, please get in the habit of keeping your thumbs OUT of the inner steering wheel area...Many have broken thumbs and/or wrists from sliding off a rock or other items and the steering wheel suddenly (and often violently) jerking well to one side or the other...Stay safe brother!
U forgot about the Coolers / Bins in the floor of the rear cabin where U can put drinks, or Tools, anything…??? 🤷🏻♂️ Plus 4:10 gears …🤷🏻♂️👍 I own a 2022 Power Wagon, and I Love It and I don’t need a Towing Vehicle I have Leitner Racks with a Tepui Top Tent on the Racks and a Rhino Rack over the Cab, So I don’t need to tow a trailer.. Plus U Can get the Power Wagon package on other Trims of Ram Trucks ( Tradesman, Big Horn ) it’s just the suspension though.. And Like U said I put 35” Tires on it and it’s Perfect!!! Now I have a couple Buddy’s who put 37” Tires on one and they work but rub ( barely and once in a while ) but it can be done..🤷🏻♂️👍
Even with disconnected sway bars, the Ram is still limited in what it can do as it is still a truck and a compromise! If you want to do serious offroading, just get a Jeep. Otherwise, you end up with a vehicle that does neither task well and will disappoint! Nothing like spending major coin just to be disappointed!!!😂😂😂🤣🤣👍👍👍
I went from ford to Ram power wagon. Power wagon is far superior as soon as you swap out the 33s for 35s. If you are towing more than 10,000 lbs then that person isnt looking at either of these trucks. I have driven both. I chose the power wagon because its interior is absolutely in a class of its own. Ford is still using cheap plastic buttons and just feels cheap inside. Even the platinum model.
Kid, you really need to do your homework before you start making videos. You can get a diesel in a power wagon, it’s called the power wagon rebel. Geez
You got quite a few things wrong first of all you can put that trim level of the power wagon on a different truck,if you didn’t know that and apples and oranges comparison because it’s a 250 and ford it is a 350
Power Wagon any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Just like the way Ram set the truck up even though it doesn't have the pay load capacity, you sometimes have to sacrifice to gain. Most people I know and see on the road and off road, don't use half their pay load or towing capacity anyhow. Power Wagon is a beast. It always has been for the past 75 years.
@@michaelbono2766 Power wagon only has one engine. Ya the disconnecting from sway bar is nice, but wait a little bit and the Tremor will eventually have one after market.
Fantastic review, unbiased, factual, spot on opinions based on the trucks options and abilities and not only your own opinion. I must say TFL like, excellent camera work as well. Thank you, your review helped me greatly. PS currently own a 2017 Ford F-250 diesel, strongly considering the power wagon as my needs no longer require the massive towing ability...do love my Ford though, it will be tough to see her go
Thank you very much! That’s awesome...hard to move to a different truck but I’m sure you’ll be happy with the PW. Be sure to take it overnight or for an extended drive if possible to get a food feel 👍
I know Ram is trying to go for better efficiency but my 2018 Power Wagon definitely has a better approach angle than both of these, and not going to lie, everyone needs to stop comparing the towing and payload of the Power Wagon, its not designed to tow, and never was, its designed for offroad use with the availability to tow if you have to
Is it a Raptor or basic F-150? Cuz I've seen guys around where I am tow with a Raptor and its embarrassing to see, yes they can tow but not efficiently
My father in law has an ‘04 with the 5.7 V8 around 290k miles - been good for him and he hails with it regularly as a contractor. On the other hand...I had a ‘96 that was an absolute headache and had major issues before 150k lol - granted I didn’t own it the whole time but still
I have the money for one of these trucks but can’t decide on which truck. I’m not brand loyal to either one of these. Which one do I like more? The Ram. What will I probably end up getting? The Ford. Why? The diesel. Why Ram won’t throw a Cummings in the power wagon is beyond me. It would be a straight money maker for the company. I know it’s more weight which = not so good for off-road. But.... this truck is fucking huge so it’s limited by its own capabilities as is.
