Can a Ram Rebel Keep up with a Power Wagon in the Arizona Desert?



It’s easy to mistakenly write off a truck like the 2017 Ram 1500 Rebel as overrated when it comes to off-road prowess.

That’s particularly true when one is parked amongst a herd of hulking Ram 2500 Power Wagons. After all, the Power Wagon is the be-all and end-all of trail-tackling trucks on the market, something AutoGuide.com’s truck expert Stephen Elmer recently rediscovered at the launch of the refreshed 2017 version. Its ability to climb over rather than around obstacles is virtually unmatched by anything this side of a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.

By contrast, the Rebel can at first glance look like little more than an appearance package that’s been added to Ram’s half-ton truck — and that’s because it mostly is. Except if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find a pickup that’s packed with potential. Bilstein shocks at all four corners compliment a standard air suspension setup that gets an extra inch of ground clearance, while the limited-slip rear differential helps cut wheel spin in low-traction situations.


I read this review or article a week or so ago. I would venture to say No a Ram 1500 would not out do a Ram 2500 Power Wagon. If I could have gotten a Power Wagon with a 8ft Bed and a CTD 6.7L Engine i would have bought it. hands down. I do not believe that the Ram Rebel is strong enough to out work a Power Wagon. JMO

Hater's Free-Agency Guide: Why Your Team Ain't Getting Its Top Free-Agent Target

Image
Harry How/Getty Images Who ordered the  NBA  free-agency reality check, with extra salt? Countless hours are spent trying to figure out how every team can win the offseason extravaganza. Even the most responsible fans talk themselves into their favorite squads keeping important flight risks, re-signing players they cannot afford to lose and poaching big names from rivals. Arguments to the contrary don't matter this time of year. Rational minds don't need to prevail. Everyone is an idealist and hopeless romantic. Screw that. This free-agency primer is drowning in cold, hard, dream-breaking truths. We want to know why the best-laid approaches are flawed and destined to fail. This isn't to say they will flop. But preparing for the worst—which is often the most likely scenario—is a crucial part of sports fandom. Top targets were not determined by how unlikely they are to sign with your team. They were selected via the rumor mill and current roster makeup, with  salary-cap outlo

Image
Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars are making a powerful declaration: “I stand with immigrants.” America Ferrera,  Uzo Aduba , George Takei and more have participated in a moving  new PSA  to celebrate immigrants in honor of Immigrant Heritage Month. The stars, including Jason Sudeikis and  Broad City ‘s  Ilana Glazer , together recited “I stand, Because I am…” written by poet and actor Lemon Andersen. “We all stand here together with our hands open,” Ferrera, 33, began. Aduba continued her words: “Stretched out under this beautiful, boundless, American sky. We stand here and celebrate the glories of our nation.” Takei, 80, Ferrera and Aduba, 36, continued the poetic address, noting that immigrants came to America with their hands outstretched, “waiting for a hammer and nail; a shovel and rake; a basket and fruit; a dish to wash; a class to teach; a child to raise; a business to build and a cure for the sick.” The stars vowed to continue to carve a path for immigrants and “make the road

The Originals recap: 'Phantomesque'

Image
Faith, love, and hope have rescued the Mikaelson clan from a multitude challenges over the last thousand years. There’s faith that Freya can whip up a spell to fix even the most harrowing of situations. There’s a deep, abiding love for family above all else. And there’s Hope. As in the small witch living in the creepy New Orleans compound with a bunch of Originals. When we last left Elijah, he was stuck inside a pendant, suffering in the depths of his own subconsciousness. Brutal, right? On the outside, he’s decaying in a posh coffin. So, he’s mostly dead. But that doesn’t matter in vampire world. How do I know this? Because vampires start dropping right and left at a dance party in the French Riviera. I would feel bad for them if I wasn’t so excited that we get to see Kol and Rebekah again! The sibling duo immediately recognize this trend and bolt for New Orleans. An Original has died and heads are going to roll. Or Hollows. Perhaps both? While Kol and Rebekah make their way to the co
