RAM 2500 Power Wagon vs Tacoma TRD Off Road | Is Bigger Better in Snow?

I review my 2022 RAM 2500 Power Wagon off road 4wd performance in deep snow against a Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road Package. First I drive the Tacoma off road in the snow and show how capable it is in 4wd and 4wd low. I also show you the TRD locking differential and give you my opinion on the Crawl mode. then I take my RAM Power Wagon on the same road and see if it will out perform the smaller truck with all it's off road capabilities and performance. I end up using my winch to beat the Tacoma.

So first I take the very capable Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road up this snowy hill. I start in 2wd for fun and don't get very far. So I switched in 4wd high for a little bit but as I approached the difficult part of the hill with deep snow I want to lock the rear differential on this Tacoma TRD. and in order to do that you need to be 4wd low. So for the rest of the run I was 4wd low with the rear diff locked up.

I was very surprised with how well this Toyota Tacoma TRD off road did, this truck is very capable off road and performed beyond my expectations. I think any potential buying of this truck would be very happy with it's off road performance and would be confident taking this Tacoma almost anywhere!

The only thing I did not like was the crawl mode. It in fact actually got me stuck which is exactly the opposite of what it is supposed to do. Maybe for snow crawl control is not the best option!

I could not let the Tacoma TRD out performed my wonderful RAM 2500 Power Wagon so I brought out the girl once against to see if it's off road capabilities were enough to out due the impressive Tacoma. I know for a fact that the power wagon is more capable on paper but the real world is always a different story and this would be a great 4wd test between the two trucks. The power wagon has the ability to fully lock up the front diff which the TRD off road does not. it also has a very handy which! however this truck is much much heavier then the Tacoma and in deep snow I thought this could be a problem.

a lighter truck like the Tacoma can simply float over top of deep snow when in 4wd vs falling into the snow and sinking the truck right to the axles. As you guys saw it was actually pretty even. both truck ended up in the same place. although the Power Wagon front diff was not locking up and I broke out the winch for the victory!

Hope you guys enjoyed the video!
