Anyone have a 2018 power wagon? Good, bad, ugly?

Had a 2017 loaded. Very nice. Just bought a 22 F250 because I need more towing capacity.
The power wagon road really well for a 3/4 ton truck but not enough towing capacity for me. I think it was rated at about 8900 lbs.
Only lost $4000 after driving it for five years. Crazy times.

Not a single problem but it only had about 68000 miles on it when I sold it.

Thanks. Went and test drove one. Seemed like a good platform, the particular one I drove wasn't the right one for me.


Plus 55k for a used pickup is hard to imagine

I have a 2020, its definitely the most off road capable truck I've ever owned. Handling on the highway takes getting used to, it rolls more in turns with the coil springs. Have had issues with the key fob and transmission a few times that have corrected themselves before the dealer could look at them. Overall I have total confidence in it handling any obstacle, just not in it getting to said obstacle. 30,000 miles so far.

Had they cured the wrist pin issue in 2018?


The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

No idea.

I believe I've read about some sort of recall involving steering linkage.

I looked at several Power Wagons before I ended up buying my 2018 2500 with the 6.4, have to say I'm pretty pleased with that truck and it will haul anything I need it too.


That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

I have a 2013, 5.7 with 456 rear end, amazing what that little motor will pull, hay trailer, stock trailers, always something hooked up. I take this truck through stuff on ranch that other trucks would have to be pulled out with a tractor. I know my son’s 2017 With 6.4 with 410 rear end and has been a great truck too, his is at about 150-k miles, mine is only 75-k , I have a 2012 diesel too, and a jeep rubicon, we need these to get in and out of hear in bad weather, I have Ford feed trucks, I know a Ford is made for hard work !!

I own a 16 power wagon and have had no problems with it. I only pull a 19 ft camper trailer with it but ,it pulls great.
I really like the off road capabilities it has. Haven't had any trouble on the red clay muddy roads where we hunt and camp in Georgia.

Just a little info. The pre-19 Power Wagons used a 6 speed auto and the 19's and later use an 8 speed. I have a '19 and get both good fuel mileage for the Hemi and better towing than the 6 speed. On highway at 70-75, 17 mpg.
