Of the 3 trucks mentioned the power wagon is the best offroad by a long shot, only drawback is that it is really hard on fuel, there's lots of low km PW up here for sale because guys buy 'em then find out that with the mileage and what they're doing with them a cummins would have suited them better.
I've been told they make a horrible daily driver if you commute in the city, my 2500 doesn't have as steep gears or the larger tires and my mpg is dismal.
Food for thought... some 2003 and early 2004 ram diesel 2500s came with a 10.5 ring gear AAM axle. The PW rear limited slip/locker pretty much bolts in, I know that there's more differences between a regular 2500 and a PW but you can get 9/10ths there with junk yard picking/craigslist and the aftermarket.
Absolutly!.. I live 50 miles from my job in the city with the fire dept, and I drive a 96 Subaru Wagon with 250K on the clock for that job. For eveything else though... the Power Wagon!
