I've gone too far in the quest for bigger and better toys. I've always been a Jeep guy, I've owned 14 Jeeps, from 1942 GPW to a 2012 Rubicon 2-door, but this Fall/Winter I ordered and bought a 2015 Power Wagon.....and now I am making plans to get rid of it!
It all started with towing needs, atv's and dirt bikes my Wranglers could handle....but homeowner requirements and lifestyle requirements lead me to two Tacoma's, a 2005 and a 2012. Great trucks, did everything I asked them to do until I upgraded to a 2015 Polaris Ranger Crew 900 and flatbed trailer. Putting a 450R quad in the bed and towing the nearly 5,000 pounds of trailer, side by side and gear caused the Tacoma to be overloaded and very hard to drive.
So enter the Power Wagon. I wanted a capable off road truck that could easily tow a Jeep or travel trailer. Problem solved right? WRONG!
The Power Wagon tows great.....but it's freakin' huge. Hard to park, won't fit in the garage, hard to maneuver off road, won't fit hardly anywhere...it is to the point I am willing to sell the Polaris, trailer, everything and just go back to a 2 door Jeep and a couple of dirt bikes!
And yes I knew all of this stuff before I bought it.....I just thought I could handle it....and I can't!!! To me it's not worth driving the damn Power Wagon to be able to tow toys that I could drive instead.
Point is, think long and hard before you trade off your Jeeps for something the size of a school bus!!!
