- Thumbs up on the Raptor. I was waiting to see it do a high-speed pass and dust the Rebel.
The RAM Rebel has a very nice interior but no skid plates. jus2shy wrote:
Raptor > Rebel. I feel the Rebel is more aligned against the FX4 trim level that Ford used to have (it's now an option package). However, the Rebel does 1-up the FX4 package/trim from Ford with the air suspension and higher ride height.
A Raptor has always been more of a desert runner, able to soak up 10" bumps at high speeds, something the Powerwagon can't do as well as the Raptor. However, for slow technical courses like Moab, the Powerwagon gets the advantage of axle articulation to keep both tires on the trail along with sway bar disconnects. 2 different tools for 2 different purposes.
Until this happens.....

Plus Power Wagon has front locker and built in winch.
Better than the Raptor in every way except desert racing.- Raptor > Rebel. I feel the Rebel is more aligned against the FX4 trim level that Ford used to have (it's now an option package). However, the Rebel does 1-up the FX4 package/trim from Ford with the air suspension and higher ride height.

True that.- I'd take a power wagon over either one. IFS is for mall crawlers.
- Two very capable trucks. One with a true locking rear diff, and some cool gage options. The other doing just as well but lacking the aforementioned options. Does the Power Wagon offer that gage option?
