The Ram Power Wagon Wasn’t Forgotten

In all the celebration and discussion about the new heavy-duty pickup trucks from Ram, it seems we might have overlooked the Power Wagon.

The Ram Power Wagon is the specialized version of the Ram trucks and it’s built on the HD platform to make it larger and stronger than what you’ll find in a specialized truck from Ford and GM. While that statement invokes arguments, what we need to look at is what the latest version of this truck is for our driving pleasure.

Getting the Power Right

The Ram Power Wagon is a truck that’s built to handle the toughest off-road conditions you can find and make it easier for you to get where you want to go. The power is familiar with a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine under the hood that makes 410 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is built with the benefits of cylinder deactivation and variable cam timing to give you the most fuel mileage possible. In this area of the truck, a new TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission has been added to make it possible for this truck to offer even better highway fuel mileage for your drive.

Unique Features to the Power Wagon

This big and active Ram truck still features the massive selector coming out of the floor that requires you to yank hard on it to engage the 4WD system of the truck. The Power Wagon also features a uniquely tuned suspension, a factory suspension lift, Bilstein shocks, locking front and rear differentials, a disconnecting sway bar, and a front-mounted winch. The winch is now rated for up to 12,000 pounds to make it possible for you to save your friends when you head out on the trails with them.

Items that Make this Ram Better for Your Drive

One of the most important upgrades offered for the new Power Wagon is a 360-degree camera which is an extremely helpful feature when driving this large truck. The forward-view camera gridlines can be helpful when you’re trying to navigate obstacles in front of you and the rearview that you’ll find from this camera system makes it easier to see what’s going on in the rear before you back up or run over something you don’t intend to take this truck over.

Availability of the Power Wagon

If you want the full Power Wagon in all its glory, you’ll be able to have it and enjoy the ride. If you want a more subdued version of the truck with all the off-road equipment without the name and billboard that is the Power Wagon, the equipment you want will be offered on the Tradesman trim for the 2019 model year. This truck continues to be one of the most amazing off-road machines we have to enjoy the drive when we head out on the trails and if you’re looking for the power and the fun in one package, you need to consider the purchase of the Ram Power Wagon.
